Austin baby shower and 2 weeks to go!

We had a great weekend and celebrated our last baby shower with all our Texas friends. The night started off with drinks, food and cake at our place, then we headed to a baby shower mainstay...Karaoke!!!


Nothing says impending birth like unique renditions of "Holy Diver", "Mr. Crowley" and "Ebony and Ivory".


Many thanks to Julie, Jessica and Renee for all their help putting the party together. Special thanks to Agatha as well for her rockin' invites. And of course, all our great friends for coming over to celebrate us. We can only hope Baby Hoagie shares our enthusiasm of friends and music. Speaking of hoagies, we had to include a picture of the hoagie present we received from Jessica and Marvin. 

It's really coming down to the wire too. Sally is now 38 weeks and in prime "let's get it on" mode! We took a bunch of pictures to show her progress. Here's Sal showing off that baby belly.

Here's Sally holding Sally the cat for size comparisons. Sally the cat is about 12 pounds and the belly beats her!

While Sally continues to look amazing, this is how she is feeling. 

After 10 pictures, this is also how Sally is feeling.

T-minus 25 days

We're getting down to the wire and Sally is still the hottest lady around. Almost 37 weeks and a knockout!

We spent the weekend washing several loads of baby clothes, building a bookcase for the nursery and beginning the decoration. We're pretty minimalist when it comes to design, but with so much cool stuff, it's hard not to put everything out!

Austin is known for bats. Furry blue bats are cute.

The new bookcase is 'home' to a couple new whatchamacallit friends.

Every Texas girl needs boots. Purple cowboy boots with flames to be more precise.

We love this Flensted mobile. Appropriately enough, it's a flock of 4 white and 1 black sheep. We're hoping they'll be counted successfully for many nights to come.
