Last Saturday we had our baby shower and it was so wonderful. My friends and Grandmother put a lot of effort and hard work into making a special day for us and they did that and more. I had so much fun and it was incredible to have all of these friends and family members come together to celebrate the life of little Em and they haven't even met her yet! She is one lucky little girl and I will make sure that my daughter knows how much she is loved and how important it is to love back.
Em got TONS, TONS and I mean TONS of clothes. Baby girl clothes are just so easy to buy! They are cute, relatively inexpensive and did I mention cute?! She also got some other necessities, which we are very, very thankful for.
Now, we are looking at cribs and that is the last piece of necessary furniture that she needs! I also want a tall and narrow bookcase, but that can be bought after she is born, even if I would rather have the nursery complete before she is born. I want to hurry and get a crib so I can measure it and get started on making her bedding! Susan, Clark's Father's wonderful significant other, is helping me sew it all. Talk about a great lady, she is so supportive and helpful! We Snyders are all truly blessed to have her in our lives.
Today Clark and I finally started sanding Em's dresser so we can paint it! Just in time for the rain to start pouring.. Oops, well now we know we have to hurry! I can't wait to get it all done, so that I can put her clothes away and start actually setting up her room! It's a challenge to do that when you don't have all the furniture.
In other news, we all have been great! Elle is getting spoiled and extra attention because we know she won't get quite as much when Em starts hogging it all. We are also working on making sure her puppy manners are at their highest so it will be easier once baby arrives. Elle is such a good girl though, it's not really much to change or add on. She loves to please and is the most caring dog. We are lucky to have her cute little wiggly self!
Clark rescued a kitten at work the other night! I hear she might be joining our family. We will see.....
Oh and this next week is the last of summer before I start school on the 30th. Ten more days and I will be in my LAST year of undergrad! FINALLY!
Well back to cleaning and decorating, it seems it never ends! (Especially if you like changing things like me)
Till Later!
