Baby Shower at Work.... and CAKE!!

Look at this yummy cake!  My WONDERFUL co-workers are throwing me a mini baby shower today, we're having lunch brought in and cake!  I am so surprised and excited!  I am very lucky to work with such great people, it's nice to work in an office of only 10 sometimes- you start to become very close with your co-workers!  I am so happy!!

One of the sweetest moments in the world

I'm over 35 weeks pregnant now and feeling pretty uncomfortable!  Luckily I have a sweet husband around that tries to help me.  Like when he rubbed lotion on my poor, dry feet that I can no longer reach!  Yes, it did take some sweet talking by me for him to get it done.. but in the end, he's a good husband.  What I adore more than all of that is when I am restless at night and using all of my strength just to swing my large belly from my left side to my right, and my husband hears my groaning and tries to soothe me and his baby girl.  It's so sweet how it's an instant reaction, he reaches his hand out and rubs my tummy for several minutes!  Last night he tried to pull my t-shirt down to cover my belly too... but unfortunately my belly is outgrowing many of my shirts so that didn't happen! haha

Baby shower for Isla doodle!

My dear friend Tara Drollinger and her Mom (my PM, pseudo mom) threw me a lovely baby shower on the 7th of August at their home.  They served brunch with egg casseroles, blueberry bread, different types of muffins, cupcakes, orange juice and coffee!  It was delicious!  Then it was on to gift opening, we had a wonderful turn out.  I was pleasantly surprised and overjoyed (even with the hurt of missing both Moms that day).  Isla was given so many clothes and books, it was amazing!  Aaron and I were so happy with the mini-library we're able to start with!  Isla was given many classic books and we plan on reading to her quite often!
I wanted to post just a couple of  pics because I forgot my camera and I had to rely on Jeanne to do the pics for me!

This picture was taken after the shower with Isla's Grandpa (my Dad), we were comparing our bellies!

This picture is with my two best friends (Isla's Aunties) at the baby shower!  I just love these two!

I will post more pictures once Jeanne sends me them from the shower!  Thank you to everyone who was involved in this wonderful day, I appreciate it all! 

New car for the Nolan family!!!

This isn't the BEST pic of the new car, there's shade and it's taken with my phone.. but you get the idea!  We traded the corvette in for a 2010 Toyota Prius V!!!  Yea!!  It's so neat and full of fun gadgets including bluetooth, iPod, voice recognition, navigation, lane assist, some sort of sonar cruise thing??  In other words, a bunch of stuff.. it's amazing!!  The prius' are actually a lot bigger on the inside than people know too!  It's a great car and I can already picture our family outings and traveling in it!  It can get up to 60mpg which is so great and will save in fuel costs, I am a very happy Mommy!!  :)
