Virginia Shower

The shower here in Virginia was Saturday. What a blast we had!

The LaVoie family and my mom came in Thursday and we were able to spend some time together before it got crazy. Here's a few pictures from dinner.

The two preggos before dinner...mmmm, we're hungry!

Great-Aunt Brenda, Marleigh, and her Mamaw

I'm hungry Daddy!

The whole crew at dinner...where's John??

Marleigh LOVED that balloon!

Saturday the guys went golfing and the girls came over to go to the shower together. Here's a few "before" shots when we were getting ready to leave.

Kristin, Mandi, Heather, and me. Friends for a LONG time, and many more years to come!

Aunt Sarah, Suzy, and Grandma--the "Cavendish" girls together for the last time before Addy arrives!

Us plus the LaVoie ladies.

The shower was at Eggspectations in Chantilly, VA. They were AMAZING there! Very accommodating and helpful! It was a great location!

Aunt Natalie made this cake...wow! It was beautiful and delicious too!

The "how big is Suzy's belly" game. Seriously girls? Those strings are longer than you!

Opening presents...Sidney was a great helper!

Marty's cameo....can't stay too long, a steak awaits!

35 Weeks

We are 35 weeks tomorrow...where has this time gone?!


My last day of work was June 17. It was very emotional for me, which I didn't really expect. I had been counting down the days for so long that I forgot how attached I had grown to Westlawn. Four years is a long time to spend in one place, and it really felt like home! Now I'm trying to adjust to this "stay at home mom" thing, and it's really different! I think it will be easier once I have an actual baby to take care of :)





We went to Wildwood beach last week. It is where Marty's family has gone for years. His parents and brother and his family was there. It was fun, but a little harder than I anticipated being 34 weeks pregnant. (My back is still thanking me for it!) Here's a few pictures:

Who says fashion needs to suffer during pregnancy?

Sidney, ever the performer!

"Why would anyone want to go on that ride??"


The "before" picture. This ride did Marty in!
(Rylie, on the other hand, was fine!)



The scaredy-cats waiting for the ride-goers!

Next weekend is my shower here in VA. I'll be very happy to see everyone since this is likely the last time I'll get together with friends and family before Addy arrives. I'll be 36 and 1/2 weeks, so hopefully I make it smoothtly past the shower with no problems! I'm packing my bags this week just in case!
