b. I am almost done with baby shower thank-you notes. Everyone thinks I am nuts {or major OCD} for wanting to get these done ASAP, but I can’t stand having something like that lurking over me…I have a system that helps me get it done quickly, too. I place all the gifts in a room and then once I write a note, I can put the gift away. This helps to make sure I never forget someone and then I know everything is conveniently placed in its proper home.
c. Our Valentine’s Day was perfect…sweet, simple, and just the two of us together at home. The best part was that Jeff surprised me with new workout wear, the cutest pajama pants, and the icing on the cake? He bought Caroline a present…the sweetest little stuffed monkey to add to her toy collection-he said he wanted her to know daddy was thinking of her, too. I know he is going to be one incredible father!
d. Speaking of holidays…are you aware that the next “official” celebratory holiday is St. Patrick’s Day? Normally I love any excuse to drink green beer, though this year marks a more significant milestone…it’s Caroline’s due date! Who knows if she is going to make her debut as a tiny little leprechaun or wait a few more days after {please no!}, but I can’t help but think she will be here in a matter of a few short weeks. YIPPEE!
e. More Photo Challenge catch-up time:
Let me know what you think about the cake! For a low cal treat, I think its pretty tasty! đ Hope you like it!
& those tulips are GORGEOUS! đ
Aww, how sweet of Jeff. What a thoughtful daddy! I did not realize Caroline is going to be a St. Patty's baby! I hope you have a green onesie waiting for her to go home in! đ
That cake sounds amazing!!! So glad you two had a good v-day and what a sweet boy you've got. đ
Cant wait to try that cake!!!
your tulips are amazing, so pretty!
and that looks like the perfect dessert. easy too! i have wanted to make it since Valerie posted it on her blog.
There's nothing wrong with sending thank-yous right away! I actually get annoyed when I hear people say that they're proud they did their wedding thank-yous within a year. We moved across the country 1 week after our wedding and I still had ours (over 100!)sent out within 2 weeks because I didn't want it hanging over me. Good for you!
That was so sweet of Jeff! Just a few more weeks…how exciting!!! It seems like y'all are more than prepared for your sweet little arrival!!!
I'm a new follower! Hope your feeling well. I am due the 10th. Your husband is a sweetheart for sending the flowers! -Heidi
So excited for you! I also go to TWC. Not sure who you see but Dr. D and Dr. O were wonderful when I had my baby girl.
I love that Jeff got lil miss a present too– you guys are already such great parents đ
I was OCD about getting my wedding thank you's out– I think it's important! I did a similar system of writing a thank you note and then letting myself put away our new item somewhere!
Beautiful flowers! I saw that on Valerie's blog and thought how yummy it looked! I may have to make it too !
What a sweet hubs!! Beautiful flowers!!!

I've made cake in the microwave before and it's good! It really hit me when you said Caroline is going to be here in a few weeks! What!? Craziness!
I love that Jeff bought Caroline a gift. So sweet. And, I really like your thank you note system. I'm so bad at these..I think your system would help me majorly!

I'm with you on the thank you notes. I like to get them done ASAP and I love doing them in general. I think it's an old, classy, ladylike tradition.

Such a sweet hubs – the flowers and the little monkey. He's going to be an amazing dad!
