It's Beginning To Look A Bit Like Baby

February was a month that I would not wish to repeat. Chaotic might be a good word for it. I am so thankful that March is upon us, giving us three more days than that of what February offered.

I did enjoy one of my few days off, during February, with Jenae and Breckin. I was delighted to have these sweet visitors. Jenae gave me some great tips when it comes to mommy-hood and raising a little boy. We enjoyed one of my favorite coffee shops together and Mr. B was such a well-behaved little guy.


The weekend before Valentine's Day was our Sunday to serve lunch.
Nate was in charge of picking up the doughnuts, from the beloved Rise n' Roll bakery. He took this job very seriously, I must say. He said he was not worried about getting pulled over, on the way from our house to the church, because not only did he have 18 dozen doughnuts in his car, he also had 12 gallons of milk.


I tried to make the trays look a little bit festive. You never know what men out there might need a subtle reminder, a couple days before Valentine's Day. A few of them stated their appreciation.



So apparently baby bumps are a bigger deal than I realized. I did not realize how much of a demand there was for photos to be shared. Unfortunately I have not done the best job at documenting my so-called "bump." Until recently, there was not much of a "bump" to document.

Here is my "27 week" shot. This was two weeks ago already.


Someone felt left out and needed to get in on the action. This is Nate's "after supper" shot.


Nate surprised me and planned for us to meet Brooke and Doug for supper one night. We were waiting to be seated at P.F. Changs and all of a sudden he turned me around, to face the door, and I saw some familiar faces. Doug had not told Brooke that they were meeting us either. I do not typically like surprises, but this I loved.

I am excited to meet their baby boy in June!! I am seeing some play dates together in the future.


While I still plan to work some days throughout the month of March, I will be cutting back quite a bit. Wednesday held a little celebration for baby Zollinger. My co-workers and the providers I work for were very generous to throw me a little baby shower.

Look at this darling cake! So so cute.


They asked me what I wanted for the meal, and I requested haystacks. It was delicious!


Baby Z now has a start on his wardrobe, thanks to those at my workplace. They were so sweet to shower me with gifts.



Quite the assortment of things. I feel very blessed that they took the time to spoil me in such a manner.

 So as you can see, it is beginning to look a bit like baby around these parts. I still need the 11 weeks to finish preparing, but we are getting more anxious with each passing day.

Baby Z should be set on diapers for a while. When they come at a discounted price, may as well buy in bulk.



We are off to Florida this coming week. Excited to spend some quality time together, before our whole world changes. For the better, of course.

Have a blessed weekend!
