Malachi’s “Mostly Finished” Nursery
It has been such a joy to prepare Malachi’s space. Unlike many of my friends I had no direction or thought in terms of what I wanted for his nursery when we first began brainstorming ideas. All I knew was that I did not want the typical baby boy room…pale colors, sports themed, car/truck themed. I wanted something that he could grow in to, and I really wanted a space that I could enjoy as well. After a lot of hard work I think we have definitely accomplished what we set out to do once we finally got our plan together.
All we have left to do in his room is to purchase a second set of his curtains (so his windows get covered), finish reupholstering the glider and ottoman, and paint and install the surfboard above his dresser. The glider and ottoman will be recovered in the striped fabric that you see throughout his room. I wanted something that we could use should we have a girl (basically gender neutral). Our friend, Amanda, is going to paint the surfboard for us in one of the patterns found in Malachi’s crib bedding. YAY! Since everything is mostly finished I wanted to share with you Malachi’s nursery! (Most of the pictures are dark…the last picture is the closest representation of the actual wall color and all that).
Isn’t it fantastic?! Of course, I realize I am biased, but I think his room totally rocks!

Greenville Baby Shower & Update
I am so fortunate to have such great friends all across this state. Hal and I have been immeasurably blessed over these last few weeks by all the baby showers thrown for us. Our son is truly loved. After Thursday night’s pre-term labor we were fairly certain that we were going to miss out on our weekend trip to Greenville for our shower there. Thanks to a little magnesium and rest the contractions stopped and we were given clearance to head that way (as long as our hospital bag was packed in the car with us in case we needed to rush back). Needless to say I am so glad we were able to celebrate with some sweet friends…most of which I have not seen in at least 2 years.
My precious friend and hostess Lauren.
I love going to parties that Lauren throws because she truly has such amazing talents! She is truly an artist in all senses of the word: welcoming hostess, excellent cook/baker, impressive painter, and a beautiful person. Check out the cake she hand-made.
Don’t you just love the stork and baby Malachi on top?!
And she also handpainted these letters for Malachi’s room.
If anyone is interested in detailed pictures or wanting some for your own nursery let me know and I’ll get you connected with Lauren.
We finally have an outfit for Halloween…Malachi’s first holiday, not that he will notice. It says Mommy’s Little Pumpkin on it.
I cannot believe that Malachi will fit into these. I really can’t…they just seem so tiny!
Thank you Lauren for making my day so special. Thank you to my precious friends that were able to take time out of their day to come celebrate with me. We love you all.
UPDATE:
We went back to our obstetrician, and since I have already tried to start labor once, we have been warned to be ready any time…hospital bags packed and ready to go. Dr. Lasry also mentioned that she would be shocked if Malachi waited until the end of September to be born (his due date is Oct 10). I have started dilating, he is head down and in position, and well….going into pre-term labor was kind of a giveaway. 
While I admit that I have said on numerous occasions lately that I am ready for Malachi to be here, the reality of him being here early is a little intimidating.
In the last week we have worked really hard in the evenings to get everything done. Should Malachi surprise us really early we wanted to have his space done and ready to go. We got his car seat installed, put up his curtains and decor, washed and hung all his clothes and linens, organized all the drawers of stuff, organized his bath-time stuff, put the sheets on the crib/bassinet/cradle, bought his stroller and swing (the last of the big stuff), and cleaned up his room. Hal and I just sat in his room last night after we wrapped up everything and talked about how ready we are for him to be here and how much we love his room. We are so thankful to be able to have a nursery to put together, so thankful for this miracle that will be making his appearance any day now, so thankful to be about to become parents. In reflecting over this last year and all the Lord has done for us we are truly blessed and thankful. I know I say that all the time, but there is no other word for how I feel. Please pray for us in these next few weeks as our lives are about to change forever!

Malachi is 34 Weeks!
Well we have certainly had an interesting week! Malachi decided on Thursday that he wanted to come out a bit early….needless to say, this Mama protested. Thankfully, Malachi decided to behave and my contractions stopped. My OB has prepared me for the fact that it is very possible that I will have sporadic contractions for the duration of this pregnancy. She also insisted that I go ahead and pack my hospital bag as she thinks Chi is going to come early and she wants me to be prepared to head that way at any time. EEEK! I was thankful that everything chilled out for the weekend as I really wanted to see my friends and celebrate Chi with them at our baby shower in Greenville.
34 Week baby bump
Needless to say Hal and I have been in a mad dash to get the last of our “NEEDS” so that if Malachi makes his appearance early then we will be ready. My bag is packed and the diaper bag is packed. We have installed the car seat in the car….which is totally surreal. I can’t believe my son will riding in it soon. All his “stuff” has been put away. At this point all we have left to do is purchase the stroller, purchase the swing, finish putting the decor up on the walls, do some organizing and we’re done. We are going to make every effort to get the last of this done this weekend so that we can have some down time…that’s especially needed right now as work will be crazy for the next few weeks. Here’s what our crazy and impatient son is up to.
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: Malachi is 34 weeks.
Total Weight Gain: 24 lbs.
Maternity Clothes: . Still just in maternity bottoms and in my regular tops. I did borrow some maternity tops from a friend of mine this weekend as I am getting bigger than most of my regular tops will allow…on top of that I didn’t have any weather-transitional tops. Thanks Lauren!
Best Moment of the Week: I never thought I would say this but I am thankful that my contractions stopped. As much as I am ready for my son to be here, I would rather him “cook” a little longer. My Greenville baby shower was also such a blessing and I am glad I got to be there.
Gender: It’s a BOY! Charles Malachi Weber (We’re calling him Malachi)
Baby is size of: He’s somewhere around 17.2-18.7 inches and 4.2-5.8lbs
Movement: My boy loves stretching as much as he possibly can. Now that he has moved head down I feel him kicking more often in my ribs. More than anything he like to roll to my right half of my stomach and hang out there…which is totally gross to see when my stomach is all stretched out only on the one side.
Food Craving:I am fortunate that I have a pretty regular appetite right now. No cravings and no aversions. I still prefer fruit and fruity drinks (like lemonade or juice).
What I miss: sleeping through the night and having energy!
Sleep: Had a breakthrough this week!!! I slept on my parents fancy schmancy Aerobed that stays inflated and has its own head board. The contours are apparently perfect for my preggo self and I slept for 6 hours last night!!!!! My body really has no idea how to react to that as I have only gotten between 3-4 hours of sleep per night for the last several weeks. We brought the Aerobed home, THANKS MOM AND DAD, and I am hoping to repeat this success!
What I am looking forward to: staying in town for awhile, completing all our projects for Malachi, and wrapping up my work life successfully before maternity leave
Belly Button: It’s totally a half-outtie. The bottom half is resisting, but I am sure it will succumb soon.
Symptoms: A little sad that my hands are swelling so badly that I can no longer wear my wedding rings, my feet swell after being on them too long or not having them propped up, lack of sleep, just general fatigue and a desire to have my son so that I can stop being pregnant.
As always, I am thankful that we are getting another week closer to meeting our son! The Lord has been so good to us. A special thank you to all of our family and friends who have blessed us so much these last few weeks as we prepare for Malachi’s arrival. We are thankful for your love and friendship.

Charleston Baby Shower
We are so fortunate to have a network of people that have shown us so much support over the last year and beyond. Hal and I were invited to celebrate our sweet boy with friends of the Webers. These precious folks have loved, encouraged, supported and prayed for our family for a long time. They have loved each member of the Weber clan and accepted me readily when I joined their family in 2006.
Some of the folks that came…
This shower was a couple’s shower so Hal finally got the chance to be a part of the baby shower process. I made him open all the gifts so I could just enjoy it and not feel so on the spot. I took great pleasure in watching my husband, who does not accept compliments or praise well, squirm under the watchful eyes of so many. He especially had a difficult time with the ribbons.
Hal is an alum of the Summerville High School Green Wave, so this outfit is a little nostalgic.
I absolutely love the tie onesie! My boy is going to be so stylish!
I love how my husband always tries to make things fun! Don’t you love his new “earring”?
We can’t wait for our little beach bum to be here….6 weeks and counting.
Had to get a belly bump pic while we were there.
I must admit that I truly loved being around these sweet people because they were so encouraging. I’ve been feeling a little frumpy and these women went out of their way to shower me with compliments and kind words. I left this shower feeling beautifully refreshed. To our precious Charleston friends, thank you for a wonderful day!

33 Weeks
I am so thankful that we are another week down in the countdown until Malachi gets here. If Chi goes full term he will be here in 6 weeks…for which I am truly thankful. I hate to sound like I am complaining or ungrateful, particularly since I know of so many couples who desire to have a child, but I am truly so tired of being pregnant. It’s exhausting. I have realized a great appreciation for my mother as she carried two of us at the same time. Bless her heart.
Here’s the bump at 33 weeks.
This week we had our third of four baby showers. This time wonderful friends of the Weber clan in Charleston. I’ll have a separate post for it. It was such a precious time that I got to share with Hal since it was a couples shower. Hal and I also got the chance to visit with our sweet friend, Erica and her husband Stanton. Erica is due with her baby girl, Annsley, a week before Malachi. Annsley is also a beautiful miracle from the Lord and we really enjoyed getting the chance to celebrate with them over dinner before we headed back to the beach.
Amazing how different pregnancies look even when a week apart. Her Annsley likes to hang out in Erica’s ribs, my Malachi prefers my pelvis.
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: Malachi is 33 weeks.
Total Weight Gain: 24 lbs.
Maternity Clothes: . Still just in maternity bottoms and in my regular tops. Thankful that I haven’t had to spend too much money on maternity clothes.
Best Moment of the Week: Celebrating our son and preparing for his arrival at our baby shower in Charleston and spending time with friends we haven’t seen in quite awhile. Also, a great update at the ob!
Gender: It’s a BOY! Charles Malachi Weber (We’re calling him Malachi)
Baby is size of: He’s somewhere around 17.2-18.7 inches and 4.2-5.8lbs
Movement: My boy still loves to roll around. His latest trick seems to be his desire to stretch out as far as he can. He’s definitely running out of room, and I am fairly certain that he really wants more space…Mommy wants her space back too!!!
Food Craving:No major cravings right now. I find myself really wanting fruits and veggies this week, which I suppose is a good thing!
What I miss: sleeping through the night and having energy!
Sleep: I’m getting about 3 hours a night, and that’s only if I sleep out on the couch. Needless to say I am totally exhausted. I miss sleeping in my bed with my husband.
What I am looking forward to: Our last baby shower in Greenville this weekend and spending time with friends that I haven’t seen in a LONG time.
Belly Button: It’s totally a half-outtie. The bottom half is resisting, but I am sure it will succumb soon.
Symptoms: A little sad that my hands are swelling so badly that I can no longer wear my wedding rings. My feet have also started swelling if I am on my feet too long. I am fortunate that, other than swelling and not sleeping well, I have had a fairly simple third trimester.
As always, I am thankful that we are getting another week closer to meeting our son! The Lord has been so good to us.

Myrtle Beach Baby Shower
This past Sunday I had the privilege of celebrating the upcoming arrival of Malachi with our precious friends in Myrtle Beach. Truly, they have become family to us. We are so blessed to have had their support and prayers and love over the last few years, and I am thankful that the Lord saw fit to draw us all together in unique ways. As far as the baby shower was concerned, I have to say that I did more laughing and crying during those two hours and every moment was precious. Some of my favorite highlights: Mary Catherine (the hostess) asking all the ladies to write notes to Malachi and notes to me (she then had the ones to Malachi framed for his room), the insane games that had us laughing like crazy, more diapers than I could count, praying together in Malachi’s room, the words of love and encouragement shared with me and the feeling of utter joy that permeated my home. I was also thrilled that both my mom and dad were able to come spend the weekend with us, or as my dad put it, 36 hours. Here are a couple pictures from the baby shower, the rest can be viewed on my Facebook page (if you haven’t friended me, look me up at Sarah Hill Weber).
Here’s all the fantastic ladies that made my day so special, minus Katie (the photographer extraordinaire). From left to right, top to bottom: Michele, Ashley, Melissa, Jenn, me, my mom, Emily, Amy, Melanie, Amanda, Stacie, Mary Catherine (with Charlotte), and Laurin.
Cracking up at the mad libs being read..
I was lucky to “win” these amazing glasses…it could have been baby food like some of my friends “won” during the games.
The most surprising gift of the day was our car seat!!! So thankful to receive that from my parents!
I love both our faces in this picture…very reminiscent of the entire day.
The hostess with the mostest…I think she had secret glee at the “torture” she would inflict upon us with name games and completing nursery rhyme and the knowledge that some of us would receive oh-so-yummy baby food as prizes for “winning” the games.
What a beautiful day of acknowledging the work of the Lord in giving us the child that Hal and I have prayed long and hard for. I do not take for granted how much of a miracle Malachi is, and I continue to pray for my precious friends that are still waiting for the Lord to give them their miracle. Thank you to all my Myrtle Beach family for showing me/us such love! We are truly blessed.

Malachi is 32 Weeks!
Time is going by….so much faster than I anticipated. As of Sunday I have about 56 days to go! For whatever reason this week I feel convinced that Malachi is going to come early. I think that’s why I have been cleaning like a mad woman, working hard to get the final details of Chi’s nursery complete, and purchasing the things I think we absolutely have to have. Not to mention that I am working super hard to get all my work-related things done early…just in case.
I have finally started getting to that point where I have no choice but to sleep on the couch in order to get any sleep. I just cannot get comfortable in the bed any more. This makes me sad because I like sleeping beside Hal and knowing he’s there. I am so thankful to have such a sweet husband because he sacrificed his back to sleep on a sleeping bag on the floor beside the couch last night. While I do not expect him to do this every night, it was such an example of love to me that he would be willing to do it on the first night that I had to sleep away from our bedroom. I am so thankful to be doing life with him. Really and truly, I could not ask for a better partner in Hal.
In other news we had our Myrtle Beach baby shower on Sunday and we had such a fantastic time! I will have a separate blog post for that. Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my precious Daddy! I was so glad that he was able to come here this weekend so we could celebrate so many good moments together. Happy Birthday to my crazy brother-in-law, Rob.
Also, pray for us as we are supposed to find out the results of the tests on Malachi’s heart at our appointment on Thursday. We know that he is in God’s hands, but I am still anxious to hear good news.
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: Malachi is 32 weeks.
Total Weight Gain: 24 lbs.
Maternity Clothes: . Still just in maternity bottoms and in my regular tops.
Best Moment of the Week: Celebrating our son and preparing for his arrival at our baby shower in Myrtle Beach and spending time with my precious family (they spent the weekend with us)
Gender: It’s a BOY! Charles Malachi Weber (We’re calling him Malachi)
Baby is size of: He’s somewhere around 16.7-17 inches and 3.75-4 lbs
Movement: My boy still loves to move around, though it seems that he has put himself on a cycle of sorts. I’m hoping this won’t be his sleep cycle once he’s here. It’s still so much fun to watch him stretch my stomach beyond what I think is possible, although I must admit that sometimes it can be painful.
Food Craving:I haven’t had any cravings for several weeks now. This has been great in terms of not spending our grocery money on “unnecessary” things. If there is anything that I have wanted this week it is probably sweet potatoes.
What I miss: sleeping through the night and having energy!
Sleep: While still not getting a lot of sleep, I find that I can sleep longer if I sleep on the couch. It is much more comfortable to me than the bed at the moment.
What I am looking forward to: Our appointment on Thursday to check on our sweet boy.
Belly Button: It’s totally a half-outtie. The bottom half is resisting, but I am sure it will succumb soon.
Symptoms: A little sad that my hands are swelling so badly that I can no longer wear my wedding rings. My feet have also started swelling if I am on my feet too long. I am fortunate that, other than swelling and being tired, I have not had any other major symptoms lately.
I’ve had such a great week…spending time with my precious family, celebrating with friends, crossing off a lot of items on my to-do list before Malachi comes, and feeling more and more prepared for our son’s arrival. Thank you for your continued prayers for us.

Malachi is 31 Weeks!
This every two weeks to the ob doc is no joke! I feel like every time I turn around I am going to another appointment. The good news is that, while I am always nervous, this just means that I have more opportunities to make sure Malachi is doing well. I am so ready for these next 9 weeks to be over with so that he can finally be in our arms!!
I had an appointment last week to run some tests on our little man to determine if his heart rate skipping has anything to do with a valve issue. We’ll find out the results at our next appointment….needless to say I am praying, praying, praying that his heart would develop correctly in these final weeks before his arrival. Other than that, Malachi is still measuring on time for his gestational age and appears to be healthy and thriving! We’re so thankful!
One thing that you guys can be praying for is my time management and making wise decisions. Just this month I have a major event this Friday (Back 2 School Bash at Pelicans field…if you live in Myrtle Beach bring your family out from 5-9), a baby shower this Sunday (Myrtle Beach), a baby shower next Sunday (Charleston), and a baby shower at the end of the month (Greenville), plus my last class in my Masters program begins next Monday. On top of that, I have one of the biggest events of my year in mid-September. I am already worn out and feeling stretched thin. I want to do everything well, while still taking care of me and Malachi…I am finding that balance to be a difficult one. So when you think of us, please pray. As always, I am so thankful for the struggle as it means that I am one step closer to being Mommy to my precious son.
Here’s what’s going on with us…
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: Malachi is 31 weeks.
Total Weight Gain: 23 lbs. I am starting to wonder where all the weight is going…
Maternity Clothes: . Still just in maternity bottoms and in my regular tops.
Best Moment of the Week: Updating and finalizing our list for completing Chi’s room…it’s getting shorter and shorter.
Gender: It’s a BOY! Charles Malachi Weber (We’re calling him Malachi)
Baby is size of: He’s somewhere around 16-16.7 inches and 3.3-4 lbs
Movement: My boy still loves to move around, though it seems that he has put himself on a cycle of sorts. I’m hoping this won’t be his sleep cycle once he’s here. It’s still so much fun to watch him stretch my stomach beyond what I think is possible, although I must admit that sometimes it can be painful.
Food Craving:I haven’t had any cravings for several weeks now. This has been great in terms of not spending our grocery money on “unnecessary” things. I have to say that if I were having any kind of craving Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (the mini size) would be my current obsession.
What I miss: sleeping through the night and having energy!
Sleep: Sleep is probably the wrong word…I more or less have multiple naps throughout the day/night. I am probably averaging about 8 hours of sleep every 24 hours (about 4 hours at night and 2-2 hour naps during the day).
What I am looking forward to: This weekend I wrap up a big event at work that will make focusing on my little man a lot easier. We also have our Myrtle Beach shower on Sunday and I am super excited about celebrating with my sweet friends and getting the chance to just wallow in the excitement that Malachi will be here before we know it. We are so fortunate to have such great friends (that we consider family) here at the beach.
Belly Button: It’s totally a half-outtie. The bottom half is resisting, but I am sure it will succumb soon.
Symptoms: Swelling in my feet and hands, general fatigue, hip/back pain. All-in-all I have been very blessed by my lack of major problems. The newest sign of pregnancy has been some spider veins!
It really has been a great week and we’re super thankful for the surprise blessings we’ve experienced throughout this journey. We have found it easier to look beyond some of the ick and negative parts to being pregnant and just relish this time before Malachi gets here. We are purposing to make some wonderful final preggo memories. We’re loading up on date nights and quality time as we know that once Malachi gets here our lives will not be our own any more. Admittedly, I still cannot wait for him to get here…but I am purposing to enjoy these next 9 weeks.

Malachi is 30 Weeks!
It is so hard to believe that we are 10 weeks away from meeting our son (if he comes on his due date of course). It feels like the time is flying by…and maybe that’s because work is so busy that everything just seems to be flying by. I bet once the softball tourney is over I will feel as though time is creeping by. I have to say that I cannot wait until October 1st (maternity leave)!!! I am ready for a few days, at least, of relaxing before my life changes FOREVER!
Not much has been going on this week other than planning our lives around our doctor appointments (we’re now on the every 2 week visit plan). That’s hard to believe too. We got our confirmation for our hospital tours and childbirth class. Oh yeah, we have to take the 9am-3pm class because our schedules are too nuts in August and September to accommodate weekly classes. I’m hoping that the important parts of the info dump will stick with me.
I FINALLY passed that stupid glucose test….anyone else think that the test is awful? The most disgusting sugary nastiness to drink, nonstop sticking for blood, the pressure of possible diabetes and diet changes. Fortunately, I can now breathe easy. I am just under their cutoff so I will be monitored at my next ob appointments to keep an eye on it. It would have been hard to eliminate cupcakes from my diet. 
Hal and I are trying to plan out our budget and buying needs throughout the next few months and that’s a little intimidating. We are fortunate that we have saved a lot of money in not having to buy any baby furniture by converting what we already had, but there is still so much that we NEED….not want, but need. EEK. HOWEVER, we are so thankful and received such a wonderful blessing today. We are purchasing the ’06 Pacifica from Hal’s parents for about half of what it’s worth. We have been looking for vehicles for many months now and everything is either clunker-worthy or well out of our price range. The generosity of Hal’s parents has made it possible for us to own a great vehicle at a price we could afford. This is such an answer to prayer! Thanks guys!
Charlotte wanted to be in the picture too….she can’t be outdone by her “brother” before he’s even here!
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: Malachi is 30 weeks.
Total Weight Gain: 19 lbs. I’m trying not to cringe, but if Malachi is healthy then I am “happy”. Haha!
Maternity Clothes: . Since Malachi has changed positions (no longer sitting on my pelvis) my clothes are back to fitting better. Yay, no new maternity for me! Seriously, I love my regular clothes and I am not quite ready to relinquish them yet. Maternity bottoms are more comfortable now that Chi has moved….yay!
Best Moment of the Week: Getting the call that I finally passed that stupid glucose test!
Gender: It’s a BOY! Charles Malachi Weber (We’re calling him Malachi)
Baby is size of: A Large Cabbage. He’s somewhere around 15.2-16.7 inches and 2.5-3.8 lbs
Movement: Malachi isn’t kicking so much any more as much as he is rolling around and stretching. He typically rolls around and stretches throughout the day but around 5 a.m.is when he decides that Mommy is a punching bag and kicks and punches at the same time. Seriously, I can see my skin being hit on one side of my body and the opposite side…totally weird. Sometimes I get totally freaked out because he doesn’t move as often as he used to, I am trying to remember that he’s ok.
Food Craving:I’m noticing that I am not so hungry any more and my cravings are starting to become few and far between. I’m assuming this is because he’s taking up more room. The good thing about this is that I’m more willing to eat what we have in the pantry rather than feeling like I “need” something from the store.
What I miss: sleeping through the night and having energy!
Sleep: Sleep is probably the wrong word…I more or less have multiple throughout the day/night. I am probably averaging about 8-10 hours of sleep every 24 hours (about 4 hours at night and 2-2 hour naps during the day).
What I am looking forward to: We have so much to look forward to in the next 2 weeks: our Myrtle Beach baby shower, our 2D ultrasound, and our 4D ultrasound.
Belly Button: It’s starting to pop out! It’s a half-outtie right now.
Symptoms: Swelling in my feet and hands, general fatigue, hip/back pain. All-in-all I have been very blessed by my lack of major problems. The newest sign of pregnancy has been some spider veins!
It really has been a great week and we’re super thankful for the surprise blessings we’ve received. Pray for us as we continue to have to make wise choices.

First Baby Shower – Spartanburg
Saturday marked the first of four baby showers for our sweet boy! The shower was held in Spartanburg and hosted by sweet friends and family. (Thanks Wanda, Kellyn, Lori, Lauren and Mom)! I know I keep using the word surreal but it definitely fits. For so long I was attending baby showers while longing for my time. In fact, the last baby shower I went to was for 3 precious friends who were all due within a few weeks of one another. The shower was a week after my last miscarriage and I remember thinking on the drive over that I wasn’t sure I could do it. I wasn’t sure I could go and smile and celebrate with my friends. Needless to say that was one day when the Lord truly provided the grace and peace I needed to be able to celebrate with them! I’ve now had the privilege of watching these ladies become beautiful mothers, and for some of them, mothers for the second time. It was such a beautiful circle, one I am grateful that I am now a part of. I thought I would be much more emotional that day, but honestly, I was just enjoying every single moment.
The 20 or so women that were able to attend the baby shower had all impacted my life in beautiful ways…from being second mothers to faithful friends to precious family. I was truly overwhelmed by the love and memories in that room. I am so grateful and thankful to all of you and for the imprints you’ve left on my life. I cannot wait for all of you to get to meet my son! Thank you for helping us to prepare for his arrival and for the many words of advice and prayers. Here’s a couple pictures from the shower…the rest can be viewed on my Facebook page (if we aren’t already friends just look me up Sarah Hill Weber).
Trying to relax before everyone starts arriving.
Food, glorious food.
Me and the two grandmas (Bella aka my mom and Meme aka Hal’s mom)
Clothes cuteness….I cannot believe he is going to be that small.
Loving the practical gifts too! Narrows down my options.
I had the best little helper in Kayleigh. She “fixed” my hair for me, “helped” me open presents, and kept me entertained all afternoon.
Some of my sweet friends from the shower I mentioned at the beginning of this post. I was sad I didn’t get a picture of all the ladies that came. I will remember to do that next time.
There are about 34 pictures posted on Facebook so head over there if you want to see them. I had such a sweet time with everyone. Thank you, thank you, thank you for showering me (and Malachi) with such love.
