five, four, three, two, one...BABY!!!

hard to believe that in only FIVE weeks, give or take, our baby will be in the world and not in my belly! and while it's been a nice and easy pregnancy, i'll be very happy to have him out. i'm very anxious to meet the little guy...still no name, by the way...yikes.

anyway, here are a few photos of his cute, little room and one of me at 35 weeks...enjoy!

baby shower #2

so the second shower of the weekend was hosted by very dear friends of my family's, jane wasserstein and diane rudman. we had about 20 ladies for that event which was held at diane's home in thousand oaks. another lovely and fun day. we were showered, once again, with love, generosity, kindness and excitement. thank you one and all!

my lovely hostesses, diane and jane.

my mom and me, who by the way, had no idea the color theme for the day was blue and green...we matched the decor perfectly!

not only did diane hostess this lovely shower for me, she also made this amazing quilt for our baby boy! it is a gift we will treasure always.

baby shower #1

last weekend dennis and i drove to CA for back to back showers for our baby on the way. the first shower was hosted by my mom; my sister, laura; my sister-in-law, anita, my aunt betty, my cousin linda, my step-mother- in-law, glenda and my dear friend, nicole. forty-two wonderful ladies came to the event to shower me, dennis and our baby boy with much love and many wonderful and useful gifts. the shower was held at the altadena country club...the weather was beautiful, the room looked amazing... overall a perfect start for the incredible journey we are embarking upon.

this is what the tables looked like. my father-in-law, dayvid
and stepmother-in-law, glenda, made the boats that held the flowers
as well as the table number signs and favors. they did an outstanding job,
i loved all of it!

nicole's mother-in-law, margie, made the adorable and delicious cake!

and nicole made this darling "diaper cake!"
i have such creative family and friends.

my wonderful hostesses...thank you!
