A Baby is Brewing (Baby Shower, Part I)

My parents hosted a beer-themed couple's shower for us this weekend and I was able to snap a few pictures of the amazing work my mom & sister-in-law did to prepare for the party.  Seriously, this party was amazing & I cannot thank them enough for all of their planning.  Special shout out to my cousin who came early to help us get everything set up.  There are more pictures to come from the shower, but I'm making an effort to get things done in the moment I think of them and not putting things off for later, as later typically results in me being exhausted and uncomfortable.  I'm seizing the carp.

So let's consider this part 1 of maybe 2 or 3?  A mini series, if you will.

We got home around 6 and I am pretty proud to say that most everything has been put away, gift-wise.  I even started my thank yous!  It's all getting real now, as I realize there are only like 8 weeks left until my time is dominated by the needs of our new daughter!  Squeeeeeee!


Guests were invited to create a unique onesie for Baby Porch!
They turned out GREAT!

Guests left their wishes for Baby; some were sweet... some were...
written while under the influence ;)

My Mom & Sister in Law helped me etch pint glasses to give to guests as favors.
They all said "cheers" in various languages.

Porch brewed two beers just for the shower:
A brown ale (Brown Bear, Brown Bear)
&
A cream ale (And the Cow Jumped Over the Moon)
this was a Spotted Cow clone 

Hehehe I love it


My cousin & aunt got us this adorable diaper cake & I just had to snap a quick picture!

Charlotte {9 months}

Let's just put this out there, we picked Charlotte before Charlotte was a princess.  ;)  And I'm not sure that the royal baby will ever be called Charlie or Charlie Bug and I'm even more certain that I don't care what they named their kid.  It's just about to be an amazingly popular baby name and we were TOTES ahead of that trend. Charlotte is 9 months old already! Stats Weight:  20 lbs, 12 oz (86.13 %ile) Length:  29.75 inches (98.75 %ile) Head circumference:  18.23 inches (96.69 %ile) This girl is perfect.  She is proportional and amazingly squishy. Teeth:  still just the 2 lower, but I'm confident she'll have a few top teeth soon.  She's been a drool machine lately and everything is back to being in her mouth. Charlotte likes... ... walking around the house (holding mama and daddy's fingers) ... Army crawling, especially when she can pull on the high pile carpet in her room ... those Gerber wheel treat things ... bath time ...

Charlotte's birth story

Thank goodness this isn't my 40 week update; I was really nervous that I'd have to write one of those and even possibly the dreaded 41 week update!  Today was her due date, but we got to meet her just a little early.  Charlotte Esther joined our family at 2:07am on Friday, August 8th... and changed our lives forever.  There's now a squishy baby who calls for us and loves nothing more than snuggling on our chests.  We are, in fact, living the dream.  A dream 4 years in the making and worth every moment.  My heart is so full of love for Charlotte and I am so excited to see how she grows and changes. I have always enjoyed reading the birth stories of my blogger friends' babies and felt it gave me hope as it was the final moment in the battle against infertility, the crossing of a finish line.  So today, in celebration of love and this chubby cheeked baby girl, I share with you the story of Charlotte's birth.

It's true.  I love my mom.  She's my best source of advice & wisdom, even though it took me roughly 20 years to figure that out.  I just wanted to take a quick second and thank her for all that she's done for me and especially for the things she didn't do for me.  =)  I wouldn't be the person I am today without her. Love you mom! We're pretty fabulous, no?
