bridal shower ideas
while scott and i are throwing around ideas concerning the wedding, an engagement party, and the bachelor/bachelorette parties i've been day dreaming about decor for an engagement or bridal party. i love this "eat" board. i want to make one in our colors for the wedding. also, i'm obsessed with the layered pink cake. based on this martha stewart cake, i think this pink layered cake would be awesomely girly for the shower. also: pink flowers in white mason jars and sofia champagne in a can. love. thanks to becca for introducing me to green wedding shoes, where i found these photos.

iPhone
scott got me an iPhone for my birthday, and it is the greatest present ever. i love it. i downloaded the instagram app and can take amazing pictures with really nice effects (they make them look like old family photos, and i love it). i also just downloaded the 8mm app to do the same thing but for videos. LOVES. i can't wait to take some video with griffin. i really want to take cute videos, set them to music, and send them out to the grandmas and grandpas.
what an instagram photo can look like. i prefer the "earlybird" setting
update
it's been awhile since i've blogged, and i'm sorry about that, but it's been hectic since griffin came home and i just didn't know what to say. griffin came home on 2/16/2011 after 27 days in the NICU. we had an amazing recovery and i feel very lucky, but i also feel a little bit guilty because there are so many gastroschisis moms that don't get this lucky. anyway, it's been a roller coaster having griffin home, but it's been amazing. he's adorable. we just love him. scott is the most amazing dad ever. he is so involved and wants to do everything. it's great. he gets up in the middle of the night, and i never have to ask him to do anything, he just does it. he is so attentive and in love with griff... it's the cutest thing ever. i love seeing the two of them cuddled up on the couch
this was taken the day he came home
daddy kisses
more daddy snuggles
we have a follow up with UCSF on weds 3/16. i'm fairly certain griffin has a hernia, which is really common with gastro babes. typically the surgeons won't do anything until after the first year, because sometimes the hernias will fix themselves, but the thought of another surgery just rocks me to my core. we'll find out more on wednesday. and i'm not even 100% sure it is a hernia, but my instinct says hernia so i'm going to go with that.
