Four more DAYS!

Until we meet our littlest man! Henry Joseph is scheduled to be born via c-section on Thursday, October 14th at approximately 12:00 noon. We're so very excited and yet (I'm) so very nervous all at the same time!!! Next time I update, I'll be the mama to two of the sweetest little guys ever and my house will be over run by BOYS! haha

Henry's Sprinkle

Last Saturday, September 25th, was Henry's Baby Sprinkle. It was so much fun and nice to see everyone who was able to come. Jacob had a lot of fun playing with the other kids and opening his own presents.

A lot of people don't believe in showers for the second baby and that's fine. Especially when they're close in age and the same sex. I, myself, wanted to have another "party" for Henry because I didn't feel it was right to celebrate Jacob coming into the world and not celebrate Henry the same way. Yes, the load of gifts and guests was a lot smaller the second time around, but I expected that much. It's not as if I needed much with them only being 2.5 years apart and both being boys. I just wanted to have the memories, pictures and maybe some cards to show Henry that people cared about him too before he was born.

Anyway, below are a few pictures from my Sprinkle. Enjoy!

I love these little things! My mom got me the one with the mother and infant when Jake was born, and this one for now while I'm pregnant with Henry.

Henry's very beautiful cake!

Belly cast!

I've seen a few celebrities and people on TV that had made these belly casts when they were pregnant and I just thought they looked really cool. I'd never have been able to do one with Jacob because I never really looked pregnant with him. But, this time is a whole other story. I've looked pregnant for months. There is no mistaking the tummy. So, I broke down and bought one and had John help me out with it. It turned out really cute and I can't wait for Henry to be here, so I can get his birth stats written on it. I only wish that I had been able to make one for Jacob, too.
