First baby Shower and updated photos

dWell we had our very first baby shower Friday and we had a fabulous time!!! Our KW Family (work) threw us a great party. It was so touching to see how people care for us and our new addition. We received a car seat, baby spa, highchair, two infant seats, clothing, nutcracker, books, stuffed animal, gift cards and a rubber ducky! Today, we exchanged the car seat for the one we registered for. The person that bought it said the store told her that the one she got was the one we registered for. It was absolutely no problem, I'm just thankful that we received it.

We started to put some things in the closet already. We went to Babies R Us today to do the exchange and they were having a sale on clothes for $4.99 each! We even found a coat for the baby to come home in for $14.99. The one we registered for was $52 so this was a great savings. They are also having a 20% off sale on furniture and other items. Tomorrow, we're going back to order the dresser. Once it's here, I'll feel more comfortable having Kim clean all the clothes so I can put them away somewhere. Also, the recliner we want is on clearance for about $80 less than when we first saw it. My only concern is that by the time we are ready to get it, they won't have it available anymore because it may have been discontinued. So, I guess we'll see!

Tomorrow, my sister is coming to put the finishing touches on the nursery. I'm so ready to get all the paint stuff out and set the room up.

Here's a pic of me at 34 & 35 weeks:

The nursery is almost done!

Well the nursery is almost done! First, Kim ripped up the carpets and started testing paint colors:

Then cousin Dawn came in and painted. The room is sage green and lavendar:

Then we had the floor done and a ceiling fan installed. My sister Kirsten then started on the mural:

Cousin Dawn is doing the wood trim as we speak and the mural will be done Sunday. We are so very excited! Tonight, our co-workers are giving us a shower. This will be our first one! We already had a highchair delivered the other day from a group of co-workers that was on our registry and we absolutely love. Things are really coming together.
