Baby Shower

When we went home in March, my sisters threw me a baby shower.  It was really fun.  I loved having the chance to spend a few hours that afternoon with friends and family.  My friend Cathy Breslow, who was the photographer at our wedding, took photos, and I don't have those yet, but I wanted to share this photo of the cake my sister made (with the help of her husband).

Isn't it adorable?  Every detail of it is solid cake deliciousness.  I'm glad I had this shower before I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes!  And how cute is the polka dot table cloth underneath it?  I had an awesome time, everything looked wonderful, and we got a lot of great stuff for Oliver.  Tons of cute outfits I can't wait to put him in.

When the photos come, I'll post some and share some highlights!

So many things!

Goodness, so many things have been taking place, and I have not taken the time to write about them here!  It's strange how quickly life gets busy without you even realizing it.  It's already the second week of April, which means Glen will be done with his semester in about 4 weeks, will (hopefully) start to work full time, and then I can either scale my work hours waaay back, or stop working altogether.  It would be nice to take this summer easy, get ready for baby, and other things coming up...hence the so many things to write about.  I'm not going to do one giant post, though.  I'm going to break it up into a few posts. 

We went home the last couple weeks of March, and my sisters threw me an awesome baby shower.  We came home and found out the full time job Glen was supposed to have might not actually be, so we've been praying through that and waiting to see what happens.  I found out last week that I have gestational diabetes, which is why it would be good to take it easy this summer, since I'll have more doctor's appointments than other women in their third trimester.  And speaking of which, I'm only a week and a half away from my third trimester!  This pregnancy has gone by pretty fast, and has been fairly easy.  I feel so blessed!  The last thing I want to write about is the fact that Glen and I have decided to move back to California in August, after Oliver is born.

Like I said...lots of changes have taken place and are on the horizon.  But as a good friend reminded us the other night at dinner, even though we have so many new cool things and kind of scary things going on and in our future, the one thing we are certain of is who we are in Christ and that He is Lord and center of our lives.  That's what matters, and that's what we cling to.
