@@@Getting Ready for Hadley@@@

We have really been "nesting" as people put it!  We are so excited to bring you home and love on you a million times over.   It's been so exciting.  Everything is getting "baby-proofed".  We had the house deep cleaned from top to bottom, Daddy has overhauled the yard, we have your play toys set up, and all of your big items - stroller, high chair, swing, bassinette(s), glider, etc...they are all put together. 
Your nursery is done and all of your clothes, blankets, and towels are washed.   Mommy's suitcase is packed for the hospital.  It's about that time!

Baby Shower!

Hello Miss Hadley!
Mommy's baby shower was on Sunday, July 31st at Stonebriar Country Club.  It was such a special event.  60 of Mommy's closest friends, family, clients, and co-workers came to celebrate us and shower us with gifts for your upcoming arrival.  The hostesses were:   Aunt Cathy Atkins, Auntie Anne Wall, and Auntie Amy Clardy.
The color scheme was chocolate brown and pink w/polka dots, just like your nursery.   The menu consisted of a veggie and fruit tray, mac and cheese martinis with toppings, Swedish meatballs, and sesame chicken fingers.  Mommy's favorite was the pink lemonade.  It was so sweet and delicious.  You really liked it!
Auntie Anne got a special cake with Chocolate, Strawberry, and White, and then, there was milk too!  Chocolate milk, strawberry milk, and  plain white milk.  Aunt Cathy bought our favorite cookies from Magnolia bakery in the shapes of carriages, feet, and baby onesies.  Aunt Amy did a scrap-booking station and each person did a page for your scrapbook!  It was such a great idea!  She also did the beautiful centerpieces for the tables.
The present table was overflowing and Mommy had to get started on the gifts or we would have been there all night.  We had so much fun!!   This has been such a fun journey with you, Hadley.  We can't wait for more fun moments.  Love you little one!
