Calla's Halloween Costume

Calla's halloween costume, pictured below, arrived today. Wow, Halloween is getting close and Calla's EDD is even closer! Isn't it cute?


Looking forward to posting pics of Calla in the costume; check back at the end of October to see. :)

Baby Shower Photos

I haven't had time to post about the baby shower, and I still don't really... BUT we do have some photos on the web from the baby shower:



More Baby Shower Photos Here - I promise to add captions sometime within the next month ;)

Even More Baby Shower Photos - Courtesy of Shel!

I do want to take a moment to thank everyone for coming to celebrate with us. Bill and I appreciate all the well wishes and the gifts. We had a great time. Thanks especially to Cheryl for hosting the shower and making it so special for us while in the midst of moving to a new house!

33 Weeks, 2 Days

More Belly Pics are here.

Here are the 32 Weeks 2 Days photos (been too busy to post, sorry!).

Post Shower Crash!

The shower is over, everything went better than we could ever imagine. I am sitting in a chair trying to fight the post shower cake sugar crash. ZZZzzzzz... We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out and seeing all of our friends who showed up. We really appreciate everything Cheryl has done for us, even though she was in the middle of a move! Thank you everyone, we feel loved. When I get more energy I will go grab the camera and upload some pictures (taken by my Nephew Josh).

Love you all!

Poppa Bee, Cat and Calla!

Calla's Room - So Far

We've made a lot of progress on Calla's room, so I thought I'd share a few snapshots I took earlier tonight. It looks better in person, really, I think the flash distorts the colors.



SEE LOTS MORE NURSERY PICS HERE!

In My Mailbox: Even MORE Goodies for Calla

Today when I came home from work there was a box on the front porch addressed to Miss Calla Sophia Hazelton. Now that was pretty neat!

Inside was a beautiful baby blanket for Calla made by my Aunt Cathy. It's really gorgeous, and it has stripes! As you can see in the photo below, the colors are a perfect match for the green and yellow stripes on the wall. She wrote that she had washed the blanket with Baby All, and it smelled heavenly when I pulled it out of the box.


By the way, I heard a rumor that the matching infant car seat for the stroller from yesterday arrived today at Grammy and Popples! This blog is quickly becoming a log of goodies for Calla! Remember when the blog was a log of my how often and how much I vomited? The third trimester has some distinct advantages over the first, I must say!

In My Mailbox: Even MORE Goodies for Calla

After a very long and frustrating day at work, I came home to find even more goodies for Calla waiting for us on the front porch. It really lifted my spirits and reminded me that my little cutie will be here so soon!

From my sweet cousin Dallas, a really cute Frog Pod. It is a neat system for storing bath toys. I thought it was adorable, so I put it on my registry. Turns out Dallas has one for her boys and they love it.



From Grammy and Popples, a stroller! Bill has already assembled it. I took it for a test drive after yoga this evening and chased Puyi (that's one of my cats, you know) around a bit. I love this stroller. It's a Peg Perego Pliko P3 - funny name, nice stroller.


This kid is going to be so spoiled.
