babies

Remember when I announced that my sister was pregnant? It seems like only yesterday, but in fact, it was over three months ago, and now her due date is just over two months away! I can’t wait to meet my new little nephew! (Yes, it’s a boy!) I just want to pinch his fat little cheeks and buy him lots of toys.

We celebrated his impending arrival two weeks ago with a baby shower put together by my sister’s friend Amy. The decorations, the games, the cake, the ingenious centerpieces made from reusable baby items – all done by the fabulous Amy.

While I can’t take credit for much, I did help Amy set things up on the big day, and I’m so pleased with the way everything turned out.

Browse through the photos below, and maybe you’ll be inspired for the next time you need to plan a baby shower!

The baby's gender was a surprise!

There’s been a lot of talk about babies lately among my family and friends, but don’t get your hopes up just yet — I’m not pregnant. I am, however, going to be an aunt!

That’s right. My sister and her husband (who got married last summer) are now expecting their first child this fall. I could not be more happy for them, and can’t wait to meet my new little niece or nephew! Let the shopping for cute baby things begin!

In the meantime, my family’s also been celebrating my cousin’s pregnancy. A few of us drove up to Vermont last weekend to attend her baby shower, and had a great time reconnecting with old friends and relatives we haven’t seen in awhile. Rather than go into too much detail, I’ll just leave you with some pictures from the event.
