Skelley Family Shower

The other fabulous women in Jason's life threw us a great family shower. Kristy did a killer job with the cute decorations and activities for the kiddo's. The food was delish-ice cream and cupcakes...how can you go wrong? Plus, we received lots of great things for Charlotte too!

Activities for the kids (and adults)! White onesies and plain bibs everybody decorated with markers and cute iron-on's. It was a great idea!

Our adorable nephews Carter and Daniel. We learned that balloons can provide hours of entertainment.

More gifts!

Thanks everybody! Charlotte is one lucky and loved little lady :)

Couple's Shower

Our best friends in Atlanta, Holly and TJ, threw us a wonderful shower! We invited all of our long time ATL friends and had a great time catching up with everybody. One of my favorite gifts was a picture book that Holly put together called "Welcome to our Lives." It had pics of our life prior to Charlotte arriving and she had all of our friends write notes to her in it. Many pictures were quite increminating and C will have to wait until she is 21 to look at it but I know she will enjoy seeing how much fun her ole Mom and Dad used to be :)

The loot!

One of Jason's favorite childhood possession's was a giraffe named Jerry. Jason's mom spent hours in their basement searching for Jerry and finally found him! Now Charlotte will have one of her Daddy's favorite toys. In addition to Jerry, she got a whole bag full of adorable giraffe dolls and outfits :)

 

Charlotte's first (and not last) Juicy Couture outfit. Thanks Aunt Holly for starting her early!

My sister-in-law Megan and I. She is due with her 2nd baby (a girl!) at the end of August. Charlotte and baby girl Perrer are going to be BFF's!

Even though Holly promised no games, Jess decided to invent her own and we ended the night with "Can you pick up (insert object) with your foot." Thats what happens when you have a baby shower + non baby drinks!

Belly Shots

We have been trying to take pictures each month as my belly grows!

11 weeks (November 2009):

18 weeks (January 2010)

22 weeks (February 2010)

26 weeks (March 2010)

29 weeks (April 2010)

32 weeks (May 2010)

I finally decided to do this thing!

I have tossed the idea of having a blog back and forth for a while now, especially with our new addition on the way. On one hand I knew this would be the perfect place to share pictures and memories for our family and friends that live in other states but on the other hand I wondered if I would actually keep it up. I love looking at other's blogs so I figured it was my turn to give it a shot! Thus, another blog is born.

Just to catch you up, we have a little girl due in less than 2 months! We are very excited and can't wait to meet little baby Skelley. We are also very nervous as neither of us have much (any) experience with babies and are a bit overwhelmed. However, I know everything will work out in the end because it always does!

Please enjoy following along with our lives as we embark on this exciting new adventure.
