The baby's room. . .


This past Sunday, we spent the day putting baby items together. Thanks to mom, who helped wash the linens, and other baby items. . . And to Shelly who went to town putting the bookshelf, stroller, high chair, and other small items together. And then there is myself who assisted Calvin in getting the crib together. As you can see the furniture is just gorgeous! Another thanks to our mothers, who purchased the wonderful furniture items for the little person to come!!



The dresser which came in one piece which helped alot; even if it weighed a whole lot!!

The crib, the bedding, and the browns mobile; all of which I just love!
( I need to work on my camera as these pictures seems very dull, and everything in the room is so very bright??)



The cute bookshelf I found online; it is going to be great to hold all the books I received from both my showers!!



Ok. . . I am caught up Yahoo!! I have my next routine doc appt this Friday. I am still on every 3 wk appts so we will see what Dr G says next!



Baby Shower #2

First I have to say I am still trying to maneuver through creating posts in the right order. My first shower is not so, a little out of order but i am sure you can all figure it out. . .


Here are some pictures of my second shower, which was a work shower. My partner in my room, Shelly; also a good friend did such an awesome job getting everyone together!! She is the "TA" of the year!!








My cake. . . My friends, Shelly and Dawn. . .




Colleagues sitting around enjoying a lunch without kids (a rare sight)! And me opening the Browns mobile, again Shelly is the best!
Some pic's of attendees and fun gifts!





This gift caught me way by surprise. My college girls, Megan, Michelle, and Laura have dinner once a month at various places, in various towns. . . I am always lost, always! So here is me opening travel package that included a Garmin, now I have to fina new reason for always being late!!

~Thanks to everyone for coming again!! As you can see it was a great time~

baby shower #1

My first shower was on September 14 and was celebrated with many friends and family!!! My wonderful Hotesses (Michele, Laura, Cassie and my Mom) made this day so special for me I want to relive it all over again. . (I am sure they dont want to but it meant that much!)







My Uncle Ray, Aunt Sue, Cousin Alicia and her cute little girl Abbey came in from Chicago to help celebrate as well. Above my great Uncle took time out his weekend to add some bright stripes to the wall! I love them ans leter on down you will see how great they look with the furniture! Thanks bunches to Uncle Ray!







Another special thanks to my cousin Alicia who passed on her rocker to me. It is a cream color, flawless microfiber and looks as if she never even sat in it!! I just love it already. I do not have a picture yet but I am sure there will be plenty of it once it moves in the room and baby is here.








The wonderful women of my family. . . From left to right is my Aunt MJ, Cousin Charlene, Cousin "Aunty Coo-Coo", Me, Mom, Cousin Cassie, and Sister Michele!!





My friend Megan recommended her cake lady and this has to be the cutest cake I have ever had. My shower theme was citrus fruits and the cake just added to all the awesome decorations!
My best friend Laura's mother made this diaper cake. In the package the picture does no justice for it. It is still sitting on one of my end tables cause I just dont want to take it apart. It was a great surprise.

Browns home opener 08!!


Hi All

I am creating this so everyone can keep in touch, as far as seeing baby C grow and change!! Right now I am at 30 weeks and have my next doctors appt on Friday.

I am so looking forward to my first shower this coming Sunday, given by my favs: My sister in law Michele. my cousin, Cassie, my best friend Laura, and of course my unbelievable mother. I am very greatful for all these people in my life, they are amazing. . .

The first picture on here is of my BGSU ladies, Susan Buscher, Laura Mastrucci, and Chris Siville, while down at the Browns home opener. We decided to meet up after visiting our newest addition Ava Michelle Toohey. We spent a couple of hours tailgating in the West 3rd parking lot. The best thing about it is that we can meet up no matter how much time goes by and feel like we just were hanging out this past night as a local hole in the wall in BG! I love you girls.
