Baby Showers!!!

1st Baby Shower

Our first baby shower was in Maryland.

While we were there in September for our Anniversary trip, they surprised us (well, me! Bradley already knew)! 

I had no clue!

My mom and sisters did an amazing job and it was just adorable!

I have always loved Raggedy Ann and Andy, and I think it was so cute!

Super cute invitation that Kelley designed

The donut cake! So cute!

My mom made all the banners/decorations, of course, which could not have been any cuter! 

And my Aunt actually made the dolls for Karley!

Thanks so much, Aunt Dianna!!

It was so amazing and sweet of so many people to come by! Got to see so many people that I used to work for, and their sweet kids, and people from church, and lots more!

(Just a little shout-out to Katrina...

she crocheted that 

red blanket ↑ for Karley, 

and I think it's so cute!!)

I still can't get over how sweet and generous everyone was to us! We got so many wonderful and amazing and super cute gifts! Karley already has way more clothes than I do, and some of the best books to start her collection!

Our car was packed out going home, and our hearts were even fuller!

2nd Baby Shower

Bradley's mom and sisters threw us another baby shower, the first weekend in October.

We knew about it, but they wouldn't tell us any details, and we actually had to leave our house while they decorated, lol!!

It was so, so cute, though, and so very sweet of them!

Everything was beautiful!

How adorable was that?!!!

Thanks, Shane!

Probably the prettiest diaper cake I've ever seen!

Rina did such an amazing job!

They made these cute notes to hand out to guests as they left. I thought they were so sweet!

Again, so many amazing people gave us so many amazing, generous gifts!

Thank you to both of our families for hosting the showers for us, and for everyone that came and for all the gifts (many of which aren't even pictured here)!!!

Bradley and I are just blown away by the generosity of both of our families, and many, many friends!

We, and Karley, are so blessed to have so many wonderful people in our lives!

I feel like "thank you" just doesn't even come close to telling you all how truly grateful we are!

Are we there yet?

Nope, not yet!

BUT, we are getting close!

Hopefully less than 4 more weeks to go, and we are SO very excited about that!

Weekly OB appointments have started, and everything is still looking good!!!

At last weeks appointment she was head down, 

but she is still moving around constantly, 

so I wouldn't count on her staying there just yet.

I'm still feeling roughly the same.

Some days are good. 

Some days are bad. 

Some days are good and bad!

It just comes and goes and there's no rhyme or reason to any of it!

Food:

We still have a love/hate relationship.

Sometimes food sits well, other times it does not.

I can eat one thing one day, and it'll be fine. 

I eat the exact same thing the next day, and, well, it's not fine.

The only thing I have wanted and that always, always makes me feel so much better when I eat it: PICKLES!!!!

The Bread & Butter kind.

Not dill. Not sweet.

Oh goodness, they're so good, and they oddly make me feel better every time I eat them (which is multiple times a day, and ALWAYS before I go to bed).

So weird, I know!

So yeah, mostly consuming pickles and fudge pops right now.

(Sorry to gross you all out!!!)

I sooooo never wanted to be "one of those" but, yeah, I totally get the whole pickles and ice cream thing now. It absolutely makes sense.

The struggle is real, people.

But, anyways..........moving on!!!!!!!!

My bag is mostly packed except for 1 thing (and last minute things).

The diaper bag is packed.

The car seat is ready to go.

Now, we just wait!
