NC "Baby Party"

J and I have been fortunate enough to have had two baby showers so far, and one more next week!  The first shower was in Maryland, at Grandma and Grandpa Lessens house on 1/19.  I don't have pictures from that night yet, but will post them soon!

This past weekend was our Durham Baby Shower!  It was lovely.  The theme was brunch; our favorite meal of the week.  Chef Katie Coleman, good friend and owner of Durham Spirits Company, cooked and threw the party at her house.  And, our favorite ginger Bridget, planned & hosted this amazing event!  No detail was left undone.  The invitations and decor were adorable, the food delicious and Lacy brought 10 bottles of champagne for Mimosas!

Menu: stacks of mini pancakes, sweet potato and bacon tart, sausage balls, apple fritter balls, sparkling lemonade, and mimosas!  And, some tasty beer for the fellas to supplement their mimosa habit.

Craft: Decorating shirts, burp clothes and a blanket with fabric and iron on adhesive.

I just want to say thank you to all of our friends that came, not only for your gifts for Baby Kron (Kristen + Jon = KRON), but for your support during this exciting time in our lives!  We are truly blessed and know how lucky we are to have such an amazing group of friends, to call our Durham Family.

Belly shot: 30 weeks

Don't mind the bum look. This was right after we got out of the car- traveling back from DC!

Wow- time flies.

It's been a long time since I have had time to write out a post. So, lets recap!

Christmas was a success! We split our time between DC and VA. Saw some snow...also saw the Eagles loose to the Redskins. No real surprise there, we will be back next year ;). Also headed downtown and saw the White House trees and Senate tree.

While in VA, I got to see my 3 sisters from another mister. It is always so nice to spend time with those ladies.

New Years was a blast. We headed to Charlotte and saw a concert - WideSpread Panic. Had one last fling before the babe arrives. :). We also stopped by Ikea. Insert swoon.

Hypno classes are going really well. Just signed up for a few other baby classes: breastfeeding, baby care and CPR.

All is well on the baby front. Last heart rate was 141- this nugget is not going to give away its identity early.

I think that's it! Time is starting to speed by and we still have a lot to do!
