Some news...

It seems like all my posts are catch-up posts. I've become quite the procrastinator and just plain busy with everyday life. BUT, I'd reeeeally like to try to get back into blogging after this long hiatus.  So, instead of filling in the gaps, I'll just proceed to what's going on these days.
Well for starters, I'm pregnant! And VERY pregnant at that. I'm due in 2 weeks.  lol.
So basically since my last post, the Mr. and I have been either prepping or having a panic attack over this surprise.

This past weekend a good friend of mine here in Germany held a baby shower for me. It was small, yet intimate and held at a British Tea House in Mannheim. It was a lot of fun. The tea was delicious along with the lunch, and so great to see the other coaches I had been coaching with earlier in the year, befroe the end of the swim season.

Here is a shot of us all:

I'm holding up a baby picture of myself that was a prize for one of the games. I didn't win it, but just thought it was funny that it was a prize.

Along with this real live baby shower, my cousin N has prepared a "mail-in" shower that gives everyone that isn't in Germany, a chance be part of a baby shower for me.  The idea is everyone sends out a gift by a certain date, and I won't open them until a set date. She has also sent me decorations and such, so it's a bit festive when I open the gifts. I'd be opening them via Skype or possibly just recording the whole thing and uploading the video, that way everyone is a aprt of it all at once. That being said, Mr. White and I cannot even begin to express how blessed we are with such wonderful family and friends. We have received more than we ever thought imginable!!  Little M, that's still cooking in my belly, is aleady spoiled beyond belief!  =)

Things to look forward to this week: Installing Baby M's car seat, meeting with my Doula, and quite a bit of crafting!!  I may even put up a craft tutorial if I'm feeling up to it :)

Ciao.
