Baby McLain's Bedding Completed!

My sister, Alicia, and her mother-in-law, Sharon, finished the baby's bedding and curtains. They came over to my house on Friday to deliver everything. I felt like I was on the show, "Deserving Design". It was such a neat surprise! They wouldn't let me see anything until they were finished setting up. I knew it would look great but honestly everything far exceeded my expectations! Thank you Sharon and Alicia. Your gift is one I will truly never forget!

Family & Friends Shower

My Family & close Friends shower was hosted by my Aunt Carolyn, Aunt Denise, Aunt Nancy and Grandmother Patsy. The shower was held at my parent's lovely home. My mom did a fabulous job decorating. Everything looked beautiful! The food was delicious too! I received many nice gifts and enjoyed visiting with everyone. It was a very memorable day!

Name Decision Finally Made!

What a great feeling! We finally decided on Baby Boy McLain's name. The first and middle names are both names we really like. I didn't want to pick something and JP not be happy with it. He felt the same way. I told him my new idea for a middle name last night and he absolutely loved it. I was excited! He gave me a high five and said, "We've got a name!" His initials will be MCM! The name will be revealed the day he is born. It will be top secret until then!

Baby's Room!

My Dad and I began our work in the baby's room yesterday. We went to Home Depot and bought all of the supplies. We didn't get started until late afternoon due to my Dad having meetings that morning. I still can't believe we finished the chair railing in one afternoon! I took all of the measurements before we went to Home Depot. He cut the molding pieces with an electric saw and then nailed them in place. I went behind him and did all of the caulking. It really turned out great! Our next project is painting the walls. We are scheduled to begin that this weekend! Thanks to my Dad for all of his hard work yesterday! I love you Dad.

June Baby Shower!

My friends; Debbie, Sarah, Amy and Debbie's mom, Pat, hosted a shower for me this past weekend. It was a fabulous shower! The decor was beautiful and the food was fantastic! The girls put so much thought into every detail. We played fun games and made great memories. It was definitely a day I will not forget. Thank you to all of my friends who came to my shower!

San Antonio Shower!

David & Pam's Sunday School class hosted a shower for me & JP's sister, Emily. It was a very special day. J.P.'s Aunt Susan and Aunt Diane came in town for the shower. Cousin Brittany from Corpus came in town too! The ladies from the church truly outdid themselves. Thank you "Encouragers Class"!

Baby Boy McLain's Room!

Decisions are being made and oh what fun it has been! I have decided to go with the color scheme of my blog; a deep shade of red with black and cream. My mom and dad want to paint the room as one of their gifts to us. My sister and her mother-in-law are making all of the bedding and accessories as a gift as well. So...things are definitely coming along. As for the name, well...we are still working on that!

Name Game

Mommy & Daddy have spent the last few days playing the name game. This is quite fun and interesting too. Daddy has some pretty unique names picked out. Mommy is not really on board with his ideas. This decision could take some time. I think I'll definitely be praying about this one!

Gift from baby Ashleigh and Debbie!

Baby Ashleigh and Debbie gave our baby boy the cutest little baseball outfit. Daddy was quite excited when he saw it! He loves anything has to do with baseball. I know baby boy will look so cute in this! Thank you Ashleigh & Debbie!

Baby Gifts!

One of my students, Carolyn, gave me a very thoughtful gift. She is a competitive swimmer and she was in my Reading class at PCA. She gave baby boy McLain an adorable swimsuit, hat and blow up floaty for the pool. I was so excited when I opened it! Unfortunately I was not wearing water-proof mascara that day; what a mistake. She made a beautiful card and wrote the sweetest note to our baby boy. I can't wait to see him wearing this! Thank you Carolyn & Marcy!
