we had a lovely visit with mom! it is always so sad to see her go and so hard too...but this time i couldn't help, but realize what her next visit will be like and the ones from now on. i will be a mommy too...oh how this little man will adore his lala!
we worked hard this week getting his room together and we made amazing strides! wait until you see the before and after! a few things are left on the to-do/must-find list in order to call the nursery complete...
- find shelving for the wall above his changing table {hoping to find something vintage this weekend at one of our favorite spots...if not, i might have to settle}
- waiting on his rocker to arrive...a couple more weeks {such a sweet surprise from hubby!}
- finish the lamp we are making out of an old unique vintage piece...such a group effort this one!
- mom is currently sewing his cord cover for the chandi {are you surprised he will have one in his room...bet not!}, and the blanket and pillow we dreamed up and designed.
- complete the pad and cover for the window seat
mom painted his room...
...she and hubby assembled his crib
...we got his bedding on his bed...all handmade by his lala...her gift for the little mister...and its gorgeous! the curtains {also made by lala} were hung! thank you so much mom!!!
...mom and i explored a local little town that i have been wanting to check out...sewickley. we found the cutest little shops along downtown...
selling the most unique things...we ventured into this one shop that had all kinds of colorful notions and yarns...
mom treated me to lunch at the best little eatery i have found in pittsburgh {or the greater area!}...the sewickley cafe.
the menu had lots to choose from and the food was fabulous!
mom had a raspberry walnut salad with amazing dressing & and i had a scrumptious chicken salad sandwich with a fabulous side salad... {yes...i cleaned my plate...yes i eat more preggo than i ever have...and yes, i was still hungry again in 2 hours!}
and then for dessert...homemade tiramisu...oh my so yummy!
...my MUCH anticipated stroller arrived! thank you so very much mom!!!!
...i celebrated my birthday with my 2 favorite people and the {GROWING} bump...hubby treated mom and i to dinner at the cheesecake factory...we love this place!! we were much too full {me mostly from their fabulous brown oat bread} to have dessert...so mom fixed the most amazing chocolate chip cheesecake you most certainly ever tasted...yumm!!
after dinner we spent time exploring some neat shops and took in a bit of the live tunes too!
...we explored a local conservatory with 17 botanical gradens...such a gorgeous place i have been anxious to see!
...and our last outing was to one of my ob appts! so lala got to hear the little mister's heartbeat...live!
it was such a lovely week and this nesting momma-to-be feels so much more at ease now that preparations are coming together for the little man's arrival!! we are in the single digits now...less than 9 weeks until due-day!

Looks like you are getting ready for baby! =) I love the stroller!
You gals did it all! I'm so happy for you that you had that time together...God is good!
I can't wait to see the little mister's room. You sure are giving us lots of teasers about how fab it's going to be so I hope you're going to show it off! :)
Hugs and blessings,
