I’ve decided to use my free time (the boy is napping) to blog instead of nap myself, which I might regret later but oh well. My baby shower was this past weekend and although I have no pictures from it yet, I did just take some of two homemade outfits Nola received. I don’t think I’m girly enough to squeal. . . but if I was I totally would have when I saw these.

Christy knitted her this adorable purple sweater and sewed the most precious little skirt I’ve ever seen. . .  and of course made a rosette to match. I CANNOT wait to see her in this. The cuteness is a little overwhelming. There is something so special to me about homemade gifts, and this outfit is no exception. I really hope she’s able to wear it this “winter”, which probably won’t be until January so I’m sure she will.

My friend Meghan sewed her this dress with the cutest fabric and matching hair clips. It really makes me wish I would get serious about making this girl more stuff. I’ve made some burp cloths and flowers for headbands but that’s about it. If only I could add more time to the day and a little more energy, I think I’d be set. Along with these gifts, we got some amazing things and I’m so thankful for that. This week I’ve managed to get all of her clothes hung up and organized by size, and everything taken out of boxes and put in it’s place. Things we didn’t get at the shower but needed have been ordered, and it’s starting to really feel like we might be ready for her. I know she needs to bake a little longer though and I’m okay with that! As soon as I get some baby shower pictures, they will be posted. It was a great day spent with family and friends! 7 weeks to go and we will meet our little Nola Penelope!!
