Sneak Peek

Ever since the baby shower at the beginning of February, this is what our place has looked like (the before). The crib leaning behind baby's gifts has been there since December. It was driving me CRAZY because our light switch is conveniently (more like inconveniently) positioned right behind the mattress. Every time I have to turn on/off the lights, I have to set down whatever is in my hands, lift the mattress, before I can get to the switch. Very frustrating. 

To Robby's defense, he has been so busy studying for the MCAT and working 7am-7pm shifts that I couldn't bear to nag him to build the crib. But with less craziness on his plate now, I finally decided to give him a push. After a few days of gently nudging (or begging?) him to build the crib to no avail, I pulled the toolbox and crib out and started building it myself. I didn't get far before he came home from work and freaked out that I was moving around the heavy crib by myself. I should've started building the crib much, much earlier, because within 45 minutes, he had finished building it. Thank goodness. And I LOVE it. Sometimes, men just need that extra push in the right direction don't ya think?
Our home finally starting to look a little more...well...livable. More pictures to follow!

Baby Wai's Shower

I am the luckiest girl in the world. And Baby Wai is pretty darn lucky too. Mars, Meags, Missy, Mia, Michelle, and Mom went above and beyond and planned the most fabulous and fun baby shower for me. Missy and Mia flew to Hawaii all the way from Utah for the weekend to put this together amidst their busy schedules. Michelle spearheaded all the decorations and majorly transformed the patio in an "Under the Sea" world.

Meagan+Phill made all the invites for the shower. Cute, huh??
Marly made this amazing diaper cake.
All the amazing, amazing food that Missy made with the help of the fam. Coconut shrimp (my favorite), bruschetta, bacon avocado spring rolls, Winger's chicken, croissant sandwiches...you name it. Definitely one of the highlights of my shower! Just the presentation along is enough to make you swoon...and very hungry. (:
Games put together by Mia, Michelle, and Nani!
 And of course, lots of cute clothes and presents. We are going to have one cute, well-dressed boy on our hands.
 Thank you everyone for coming and making this the best baby shower ever! Thank you especially to my family for all that you do for me. I am SO grateful to be surrounded by such beautiful and talented people! Could never have asked for better in-laws. Love you all so much!

Looking Back on 2012

I had so much fun looking back on 2011 last year that I decided to make this a little tradition. 
2012 has been oh-so-good to us and we know how blessed we really are. Can't believe that 2013 might just get even crazier!

Happy New Year everyone! Wishing you + your family all the best in the New Year!
