25 Weeks & Baby Shower

All I can say is that it has been a LONG week!  With only 15 days of school left, I have been busy assessing, grading, and everything else that comes with the end of the year.  I have also been working on diaper cakes for 2 of my coworkers.  We had a combined shower at work Thursday and I wanted the diaper cakes to be perfect - they are my best ones yet!  After the shower, Mike and I had a Newborn Care class at Baptist.  We learned all about diapering, bathing, swaddling, and more.  It definitely made us even more excited to meet this little guy!!  We also bought our crib Thursday and picked it up today!!!  It's huge box is now taking up space in our dining room.  I can't wait to have the nursery painted and carpets cleaned so we can put it together!  

Since I've busy, I have not been able to take a 25 week belly pic, so I'll just use the pictures from the shower.

My table at the shower - my coworkers are the best!

The 3 preggers - Sabra (23 weeks w/ a girl), Lindsay (21 weeks w/ a boy), me (25 weeks w/ a boy)

The diaper cakes I made for Sabra and Lindsay.  I am very pleased with how they turned out and everyone loved them!

The motorcycle diaper cake a coworker made for me - love it!!!

All of the goodies unpacked at home.  Have I said that my coworkers are awesome?!?!

  2. There are typically three places where shower water can leak or escape from a shower stall with a curtain. These are from either side or from the base in a non lip shower stall. With the growing number of installations of shower stalls in North American due to are aging population and our interest to improve accessibility,
