Pink Tutus, Headbands, and Ballet Slippers...Oh My!

So we have been searching and searching for that "perfect" outfit with which to bring home our new little girl...high and low, far and wide...with no hope in sight. We tried a pink UGA onsie, but that wasn't quite it. We looked through all of the super cute dresses that were given to us at our baby shower, but while all super cute, none of them said..."I have arrived!"

Then one day, I happened to be at Target (what a surprise!) and saw the cutest little bathing suit! It was a pink suit with a tutu... And then, Auntie Kimmy bought some way cute socks that look like ballet slippers... And then, I saw a pink headband with a pretty flower on it...although, I did find another flower at Michael's that matches the flowers on the socks...so I might switch it out. But I digress....

Aaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnd so completes the outfit! I know, I know, a little bit unconventional. I mean, who brings their newborn home in a bathing suit?! Ummm, hello! This girl!

33 weeks...and a proper bump to prove it!

Tee Hee!!! We are almost there...only 7 more weeks (I hope!). I keep trying to tell Cally that she has her mama's permission to come early, but not more than 3 weeks early. Apparently, all the baby does in the last 3 weeks is gain fat...well...we don't need her getting bigger just on circumstance! I'm fearful enough as it is to push a 7 to 9 pound baby out of my who-ha!

Nana G says that she will probably be stubborn, just like her mother, and come 3 weeks late just to spite me...well, all I have to say about that is "Peeshaw!"

We really are getting excited though! She is moving around so much...we can actually see my belly moving...it's kinda freaky. Even Bianca Jane was taking a puppy nap on my belly the other day and Cally kicked her square in the snout...Bianca just looked up at me like, what the hell was that?! I finally had the "talk" with her to let her know she will be getting a new people sister....she was thrilled...so much so, in fact, that she put her head right back down and went back to her nap!

Mama G...soon to be Nana G threw us a Baby Shower!

Memorial Day weekend we traveled back home to my mom's house...actually her former house, but that' another blog posting...and had our family baby shower! It was beautiful :o) We got to see lots of family and little miss Callyann got lots of wonderful gifts. She is going to be soooooo spoiled!!! One of the best surprises was our best friends/family came all the way out from California to be there with us. The Bairds just had a baby girl a few months ago (Katie), so we got to hold her and cuddle her...and even change a poopy diaper...we are READY!

The baby shower was a hoot! We played lots of games, one of which you couldn't say the word "baby"...you had necklaces to wear that got taken away when you said the magic word...whoever heard you say it, got to keep your necklace and whoever had the most necklaces in the end, won! Needless to say, it got ruthless...we are one competitive family!

The food was so yummy...and we ate outside under a beautifully decorated tent (thanks boys for helping us out :o). Some of my favorite dishes were my aunt's brownies with frosting and thin mint crumbles on top...and my sister's buffalo chicken dip...I know, I know...completely different ends of the spectrum, but what can I say? I'M PREGNANT!

By the way, Jess...you will be pleased to know that Callyann has been practicing everyday..."Favorite Auntie Jessa!"

Thank you to all who made the special trip to share in our joy...and thank you again for your generosity and all the cute stuff Callyann received. We truly appreciate it...but most of all, we are just thankful that she has such a loving family who we know will guide her and support her through all her journeys in life!
