Indy Shower, Super Bowl Sunday, and 7 Weeks to Go!

I was hoping this post would be a tribute to the Colts and a post about the fun we had watching the game, but unfortunately that is not the case. We had our neighbors over and did have a great time, but it was a sad outcome and I think I was close to seeing a grown man cry when Peyton through that interception with less than 4 minutes to go. Oh well, at least we made it to the Superbowl and the Saints did play a great game..there's always next year!

We had quite a spread (and now tons of leftovers) and since we can't get any Colts paraphernalia here in Chicago, we resorted to decorating with every Colts jersey we had and some cheap grocery store balloons. Notice who made an appearance for the game to hang out with Teague!

How cute is this jersey that we got as a gift for Baby A? Can't wait to have him wear it for Superbowl 2011!


This was my personal highlight of the game, which I have enjoyed every day since...

Enough about the game since it still makes me sad, so on to happy baby thoughts :) I'll be 33 weeks on Thursday, which means only 7 weeks to go! It's crazy to think that we'll be bringing a baby home to our house in such a short time. We're working on the nursery and it's coming along, we'll post pictures once it's in better shape. We had "date night" at Ikea on Friday and bought some more shelves for the nursery as well as for the "sitting room" on the first floor which will eventually be our playroom. We washed all the clothes we had and put them away, which was so much fun. They are so teeny and cute! Opposite of that, is me at 33 weeks:



And last but not least, we had a blast at shower #2 which was a couples shower in Indy last weekend hosted by our great friends Jeremy and Aimee Ash (and Addy and Lilly of course). In attendance were Jeremy and Aimee's families, our families, and all of our friends that live in Indy (plus Ben and Kristin who made the trip down from Chicago!). We played a hilarious game of baby themed "Win, Lose or Draw" which of course somehow involved dirty pictures (drawn by the Ash boys) and inappropriate guesses (mainly by Laura). Thanks to a lot of skill and a little bit of luck, our team won the game and the prized Baby Ruths.

One of our favorite gifts, Addidas socks that are the smallest things I've ever seen! Thanks Borgos. And a shout out to Addy and Lilly for an amazing wrap job on their gift:

Jeremy and Aimee we can't thank you enough for hosting such a fabulous shower! We had so much fun and it was great to get everyone together, especially since so many people in this group had heard about eachother over the years but never actually met. We had a blast hanging out all weekend and spending time with the girls and feel so blessed to have such wonderful and supportive friends. Thanks again!

Jeremy is still wearing all black today as he greaves the end of the football season, shame we don't live closer, they could share in their misery! As for the shower, it was our pleasure--belly picture is adorable and I can't wait to meet Baby A!
