Oops...what happened to February?

I laughed the other day when Erica made fun of me for not writing in a month - I didn't think she was right - turns our it's been 5 weeks.  Sorry friends :)

A lot has happened in the past month.  I skimmed through my cell phone pics to jog my memory and I'll give you the highlights.

February 5th -

My aunt and sisters hosted a shower for SBG and I.

It was fun and wonderful and we are truly blessed (I should also note that Danny's aunts Krissy and Dawn hosted a shower for his sister and I in January. This was the beginning of our families going above and beyond to support us and this sweet little baby. Unfortunately, I broke our camera and have no pictures of the day.  Sadness.)  Also, the balloons in the above pictures are still alive in my house.  :)

My mom and sisters ended up staying at our house that weekend and it was nice to spend some time with them!  Plus, it was the beginning of being able to see them 3 weekends in a row!

Sunday, February 6th:

Danny and I celebrated the Super Bowl at home (I was exhausted) and then went to our favorite Mexican restaurant for dinner.  Danny ordered a fried banana! :)

February 9-13:

I went to Davenport for work.  

February 10-23:

Danny's sister was in the hospital in Ames.  We got to watch Titus 4 nights and I spent time at the hospital with Chrissy, Rie and the baby (and sometimes Jon).  Danny immensely enjoyed having Titus.  We called it our "baby with training wheels" period.  In case you don't understand why Danny loves newborns...

He also was a great help with night feedings and changing diapers. Even if he somehow managed to never change a stinky one.  Apparently the only poopy diapers he will change are his daughters.  He has no idea how strictly I will hold him to this.

February 25th:

We had out maternity pictures taken by our friends Sarah and Chris at Lucky Soda Photography.  You can check them out here.  Dan and I love the shoe ones!

February 26th:

Erica, MB and Katie threw our 3rd shower for SBG.  Again, super fun and it was wonderful to see all my friends from different parts of my life in one setting.  They are too generous and all excited to meet SBG soon!  There are many babysitters in this group as well as SBGs future friend, Sylvie. :)

That evening, Danny's mom side of the family had a couples shower for us.  Delicious food and lots of fun!  SBG is super spoiled already (as are her parents by our generous families and friends).

We ate a lot of cupcakes this day...and it was wonderful!

February 27th:

With the help of my Mom, sisters, and Danny and Dad putting together shelves, we finished the nursery.  I'd post pictures but it deserves it's own post.

Well - there's February.  I'll post a March update separately (and the nursery photos) soon!!
