Nursery update
The nursery is officially organized! Still waiting on mom to finish the baby bedding and curtains and a few small touches needed here and there but overall we are done! It feels awesome to have his room so clean and put together, I don't think Vince and I's room has ever been this organized.
POP goes the weezle
We are now at the home stretch and this mommy is ready to POP! We couldn't be more excited to meet our sweet new family member. Are we ready? That is a question that I cannot answer. We have more diapers and wipes than we can count, car seats installed, all clothes washed and in drawers, and the bark collar is on the dog. We seem to feel prepared but know that many surprises could be looming in the next few days.
This week we are 38 weeks along. Having a full nights sleep is a thing of the past and I realize it will be that way for pretty much the rest of my life. Naps do happen though and I'm taking full advantage while I can. Vince and I are both "nesting" in our own ways. I'm getting all laundry done and trying to keep the house clean while Vince is attacking the yardwork and reading his part of our Babywise book. This adult thing is really tiresome :)
I can not thank my sister and my mom for all of their hardwork in helping me prepare for little Joseph. My sister has spent her entire visit (3 weeks now) organizing, cleaning, and preparing me for what this little man will bring. I am incredibly blessed to have her here. Mom is currently on a sewing marathon getting all the baby bedding and curtains done for the nursery and I know it will all get done and will be absolutely beautiful. I don't know what I would ever do without these two women in my life, they are true blessings in my life. We've also enjoyed spending so much time with the girls, they are at such a fun age. Getting to see them and play with them on a daily basis is something I wish we could have more of. This weekend they are headed back to TN so my sister can help me with Joseph our first week home. It will be a very hard to see those two adorable blondies leave. Here are some pics from the past couple of weeks of everyone waiting around for the new arrival!

Baby Whale Shower
I am finally back home after a 2 week vacay to Tennessee for our Babyshower and Babymoon. It was a busy trip to say the least.
Words cannot express how grateful and appreciative we are for all the love everyone has shown us. My sister, mom, sister-in-law, and friends put together such a beautiful shower. I was completely blown away at all the beautiful details that went into making my day so special, it made me feel just as loved as I did on my wedding day. I also cannot believe how many out-of-towners were able to come and celebrate with us. We thank you!! The shower total came to 35 guests! It touches my heart to know how many people love our baby Joseph already. He is truly blessed. And while the girls were gawking at cute baby stuff, I sent Vince to play golf with the guys. I wanted him to be celebrated as well. So with the help of my dad, The Joseph Lombardy Tournament was created with 12 of our family and friends included. Luckily, the rain held off and they were able to enjoy a fun game with Pa K winning of course but he let Vince take home the prize which was a beautiful grey golf towel embroidered with Joseph's name on it.
After the shower, all of our out-of-town family and friends were invited back over for bbq and beer. It was a great way to come together and catch up with everyone from all the days excitement.
While in town, Vince and I were able to have a friend of mine shoot a few maternity pics. This was her first time taking pictures of people and I am still amazed at how beautiful they turned out! (Small sneak peak below).
