Griffin's Nursery

I am SO happy with how Griffin's nursery turned out and veryyyy glad it's finally done.  I didn't realize how long it would actually take me.  I started super early and everyone thought I was crazy but I'm glad I did.  Because the details and waiting on paychecks to come in every 2 weeks to pay for those details takes some serious time.  I finally got it 100% finished last week and I'm only 4 weeks away from D-day (hopefully sooner)!!  I didn't particularly want a theme for his nursery so I just ended up doing it greys and whites with a few touches of blue.  It's crazy to think in a few short weeks he will be here!  Although he won't use his nursery the first couple of months, I know he'll get great use out of it once he is out of our room!  

Welcome to G's Nursery!!! 

Well, as you can tell, our child will not forget his name/initials.  Monograms and embroidering his name everywhere was 100% necessary in my eyes:)!  I can't even begin to explain how ready I am for this baby to be here.  This summer heat is NO JOKE.  I didn't think I could get this big/out of breath/hot, but apparently being 8-9 months pregnant in the dead heat of summer was the worst decision I've ever made.  Although, I know it will all be worth it when sweet G is in our arms!!!

G's Baby Shower

I guess I should start out by saying that Griffin is the most blessed little boy on this planet!  His shower was absolutely perfect and he got everything he could possibly need.  We are so very thankful!!!  My hostesses threw a picture perfect shower for G and I.  The theme was Shake, Rattle, and Roll which was super adorable.  I can't thank the special ladies who put it all together enough.  Here are some pics from the day...

 his sweet door wreath that I can't wait to fill in his stats on! my guess is he's going to be a pretty big boy but really he has no choice considering mine and his daddy's birth weight

 how cute was this idea??

 

isn't this the truth...

  I loved this idea...all of my favorite cravings!!

 

Griffin's going to have a lot of friends and we are SO excited!

Thankful for these amazing hostesses and the ones who were unable to make it!

Let me just tell you, Chase almost had a heart attack when he got home and had to unload the cars full of gifts.  It is CRAZY how much babies need.  I had to explain to him that yes, the swing and bouncer are both necessary and they actually really do different things.  Kind of, one swings, one bounces, both soothe baby, but we don't have to tell him we could really make it just fine with just one.  I have so many baby contraptions that I think Griffin will just switch positions every 30 minutes.  But seriously, I can't wait to put them all to use!!  Thanks so much to everyone who made Griffin's shower so special, we are beyond blessed!!

Memorial Day Weekend

Since I'm still waiting on a couple things to get back from my monogram lady I'm going to hold off on showing the nursery until it's 100% done and I can show all the fun little details! Until then I'll leave y'all with some pics of my Memorial Day weekend! We went down to the one and only Crystal beach for some much needed relaxation! Preston was not a fan of his feet getting dirty, that'll need to change quickly since his granddaddy has a beach house... Once he was worn out I had the pleasure of taking him back to the house and lounging on the couch while everyone else stayed on the beach. I, of course, didn't mind since my ankles are the size of tree trunks and I probably shouldn't have been in the sun that long anyway. I didn't take many pics but here are a few! Hope y'all had a good Memorial Day!!
