All my hospital bags are packed and in the car, and later this evening Reed and I will be installing the carseat. I'm so excited to meet our little girl I can hardly stand it. She already has such a personality, 10pm is her crazy time each day, and she doesn't like it at all when I rest anything on my belly (books, magazines, dinner plates), it's like she's telling me "Hey Mom! Space is limited enough in here, you're not allowed to take up any more!"
In the past month or so I've had both of my baby showers, and both were WONDERFUL. All of my hostesses truly outdid themselves, and I appreciate them all so much.
My mom, sister Kimberly, Aunt Paula, and one of my best friends Kaylie threw my Waco shower for me on July 7th.
With my former teachers. Mama (Kindergarten), Mrs. Thomas (5th Grade), Mrs. Beseda (P.E./School Principal), & Mrs. Marak (1st Grade).
My mom's side of the family: Mama, Harrison, Mandi, Grams, Kimberly & Aunt Paula. I love the look on Mama's face trying to get Harrison to smile.
My dad's side (minus Kimberly, Harrison, and Rachel). Cousin April in front, Aunt Carol, and April's daughter Maggie (she didn't want to smile).
All my hostesses.

And my girlfriends Tiffany and Tracy along with Reed's long time family friend Carolyn threw my Houston shower on August 11th.
Eating before opening gifts, I needed my strength, there were a LOT of gifts.
Some friends from our neighborhood.
Everyone drew a letter from the alphabet to create a custom ABC Book for Addie
Reading the ABC Book, I LOVED this. Too cute that Addie has a book created for her by the family and friends that were at her baby shower.
With my mom.
Addie's Grandmas.
One of the FIVE BEAUTIFUL quilts from Reed's aunt Eileen.
Reed is so amazing, he came to the end of each shower, to say hi to everyone and load up the car. My wonderful (pack mule) Hubby!!!
With the hostesses.
The 120+ photos from the Houston shower look like a progressive slide show of "Watch Emily Swell Up." My doctor does have me relaxing now for the most part, nothing to worry about, but between the heat outside and my swelling he says I need to spend 90% of my time in the air conditioning with my feet propped up.... and at 9 months pregnant I am more than happy to oblige.
Next time you hear from me will be to announce that Adeline Dain Smith has made her arrival!!!
