For me? It’s a nice, relaxing lunch at the Waffle.
Yum.
I heart it so.

Ladies Who Lunch
I can’t highly enough recommend a very long lunch at a fancy cafe with girlfriends to soothe the soul. Especially on a workday. 🙂
On Tuesday, I met with new mommies Ele and Molly and babies Finn and Cooper at the cafe at Nordstrom to have their tasty chicken caesar.
It was awesome getting to catch up with the girls – I haven’t seen Molly since Ele’s baby shower and it’s been about 5 weeks since I’d seen Ele and Finn. We chatted babies and transitions and pregnancy, even a little L&D. I definitely felt better seeing what it’s like on the other side, and knowing that I can do it, too! 🙂
Speaking of birthdays…
Yesterday was Dave’s birthday, so we went to a nice dinner at Mo’s Diner downtown. Pretty tasty, especially the dessert!
Happy Birthday Honey!

How much do you love me?
Gordon Lightfoot is playing at the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium in Asheville on February 12th. Anyone interested?
Since Dan died and David had a birthday, I’m a little nervous about getting to see my treasured idols before they die.
He was in a coma for two months in 2002 as the result of serious illness. And he rarely comes this far south of the border. And this year he turns 70!
I want to go!!

More Adorable
This so-so-cute outfit from Nordstrom was in the collection of stuff Jan gave me. It even has a matching little knit hat!
Congratulations!
We finally sent off our engagement gift, so it’s time to post a little “congrats” for Leslie and Vince, who got engaged over the Thanksgiving holiday.
Woot!! Congratulations to the two of you, and we can’t wait to attend your wedding this fall!

Nearly Complete
This was another good weekend for getting the nursery prepped! It looks like the crib won’t be here in time for the shower, which is disappointing, but that’s OK. The baby won’t need it when he comes home as he’ll be in the pack and play at first.
Our big project was adding more shelves to the closet in the nursery. We really needed a better way to use that space, so we added more ventilated shelving to the single full length shelf that already existed.
We also hung this fabulous mirror that my brother gave me when I was in college. It’s a gorgeous grain and color of wood, and I think it’ll match the crib really well.
Then we hung up the shelves that I painted last week. This picture doesn’t show everything, but you can see a few of the shelves. The glider, from Tyra, looks great after I steam-cleaned it last weekend, too. And the red shelves that make up the window seat are almost completely finished.
The changing table is all done, too, and I’m really happy with how it turned out.
I think things are really coming together! I also washed a bunch of laundry this weekend – baby clothes and burp cloths, etc. I had an entire laundry basket full of baby clothes courtesy of Jan, a friend at work. She gave them to me in little increments over time, so when I put them all together, I was stunned at how much there was! And there was another full laundry basket of baby clothes and blankets from our first shower. We have all these adorable baby clothes now, it’s crazy! Thank goodness we have someplace to put them all. 🙂
Baby Gifts!!
Gifts have started to arrive for our upcoming baby shower!
Some of this stuff arrived courtesy of Monica.
Should we unpack them or leave them in the boxes? I’m not sure.
It looks like we also got our Hooter Hider, which was delivered last week, but I haven’t opened it yet.
And Dave’s mom sent us the Fisher-Price Rainforest Open-Top Cradle Swing. Dave’s already put it together and it’s awesome!
