Baby Soffe babyshower

Jessica Hetherington knows how to throw awesome showers. How cute did she set up her little charming back patio? How nice would that be to have a patio like that in NYC? SO nice. Here are some photos from the shower. Thanks to everyone who came! Baby Soffe is well loved. He's coming soon!

Prego shoot

Wanted to take some shots of my big belly with Poppy and Reyn before this baby comes in 5 weeks. Sorry there are so many but I loved too many of them.

Poppy was behind the camera on these next shots. She was super into it shirtless and shoeless and all. Was even "pretending" to fix the camera when the shots were backed up.

My hand looks a little Freddy Kruegerish in this photo. Creepy. Looks like I'm in the beginning stages of transforming. Maybe that's why Reyn's face looks so spooked out.

OUtside Please

We have been spending a majority of our time this summer outside in the heat. It's been awesome to get out, not so awesome for my swollen ankles. We got Poppy a new ride for the city and she is in heaven on this gem. Doesn't quite have the steering down but getting there. This little nugget rode it all the way home from the park about 15 blocks without stopping. I'm shocked she didn't get a heat stroke. Maybe all those Dora episodes she's been watching about determination are rubbing off on her? Thanks Dora.

Thank goodness her daddy was there to coach because my big fat belly was just fine sitting and watching

WE had a pic nic at Battery Park last Sunday with some friends. Such good weather and great company. Needs to happen every week

4th of July weekend

We had a great 4th weekend here in the city. Photos from the weekend:

Poppy saw her first Movie in the theatre CAR's 2. Wasn't really sure what to do with herself. Ended up walking up and down the stairs in the isles and making a best friend. Chasing each other around the theatre holding hands. I didn't really mind since the movie kind of sucked, I had candy and a shake shack shake, and I was sitting in the AC. Life was good.

On the way home from the movies. Poppy decided to strip down and play in a fountain. She is the biggest water kid. She would live in the water if she could.

4th day we road our bikes up to a park in Chelsea so Poppy could get out some energy. Passed out on the way home with her head bobbing and slept until 6PM. Thanks goodness because we kept her up until 11PM that night. She rocked it.

On the way to see fireworks

We got majorly hooked up this year to watch the fireworks. Our friend Russ gave us some tickets into Chelsea Pier to watch them. We ended up getting onto the golf course which was an exclusive event for employees only right under the fireworks. If you live in NYC, you know how lucky that is to not have to fight with crowds. The Macy's fireworks are pretty incredible.

My BIG 8 month prego bod. 7 more weeks!
