Diaper Diaries: 6 weeks...only 42 days left to go!

We cannot believe that there are only six weeks left! Where has the time gone? I have not done a very good job these last weeks keeping you all updated on the progress of the Lowerys! It seems as if everything is moving in fast forward! Little Carley has really been hitting some growth spurts & she is definitely a mover & a shaker! I have really enjoyed Sean & mine tummy time with her! Sean talks to her and feels her many motions, especially when she does the wave! If you were wondering about our MD appts over the last 8 weeks, everything seems to be on target for Carley! I have gained a total of 19 pounds...& more to pack on as we approach the big day! We wanted to briefly share a little about what has transpired over the weeks leading up to this point!

Week 28 Arkansas Weekend, trival pursuit fun with Sean's cousin Kenny & friend Adam

Week 29
I had the most incredible baby shower that some of my amazing friends helped host for Carley & me (& Sean)! We are really grateful for all of their hard work, dedication & support for Carley! Just a few things that were at this PHENEMONIAL baby shower: yummy foods including chocolate covered strawberries, cute bennie babies & cabbage patch dolls for decorations ;) , beautiful flower arrangements & roses, personalized Carley chocolates & pink Carley napkins & thank you notes, well wishes/advise notes for friends to fill out, a precious diaper cake, & adorable hand painted wall letter especially painted by the talented Lauren! Take a look at some memories that were captured at the baby shower! I had the most lovely time with all of my friends & family...if you can tell!

My BFF Lauren who made all this possible!

Shannon (my sister) & lil' blonde Kimberly (roommate from Texas Tech)

Look at all of those pink gifts!

Umm...

Pam, "La La" (Sean's mom)

Mrs. Hardy made me a stylish gown & pillow case for the hospital, not to mention a fabulous quilt for Carley!

LOVE all of you girls!

The hosteses gave us a wonderful carseat & stroller! WOW!

Week 30
Sean & I are participating in a somewhat intense 10 week financial bible study through our church called Crown Financial. The Bible addresses more than 2,350 verses that deal with how God handles money & possessions. Over the course of the class, we are learning how we can better serve God because all of our money & things ultimately belong to Him & not us. This class will also help prepare us to have a financial plan for our family & Carley's future. We are staying busy!

Week 31
We had a busy week with the installation of laminate wood flooring put in our 3 bedrooms/hallway & ceramic tile in 2 baths in our house this week! It was a giant, dusty mess & I am completely glad we did it before Carley came into this world! No more dirty men with dirty shoes & sawing wood in the garage with the door open anymore! Yuck! We are very satisified with the end results of our floors! Praise the Lord it's over!

Week 31, Kimberly's work baby shower

Week 31, Kimberly's work baby shower with "Maggie"

Week 32
This week was a busy week too! My placement for Junior League this year is Girl Power Summit. It is a one day retreat for 6th grade girls with motivational speakers, educational programs, & team-building activities held at the Boys & Girls Club. The keynote speaker was Dominique Dawes, a gold medal winning Olympic gymnast (a huge idol of mine in hs) She was apart of the Magnificant Seven in the 90's & she was MAGNIFICANT! My responsiblites for this placement were to line up her transportation from Dallas, make a welcome basket for her hotel room, set-up at club on Friday night before event & to coordinate & schedule 60 junior league members & sustainers hour by hour! It was a stressful, yet successful event & all 250 girls seemed to have a great day! I got to meet Dominique & she was very personable, nice & even liked my preggers belly! I got some video footage of her talking to the girls! Check out her calves, they look like rocks! I am not her stalker, it was just for giggles & fun!! ;)
