Showered with Love!

First let me say that I am so blessed to have such great friends and family.  Second let me tell you that these friends and family have shown Joe, Baby C and I such love over the past several months. Back around Thanksgiving Joe and I headed south to spend the holiday with my family. While we were there I was blessed by not just 1 shower, but 2!  It was such a blessing for me to be able to celebrate this moment in our lives with my close friends and family who live so far away.  They have all been so faithful to pray for us and to pray for this child long before Baby C was ever in existence.
The first shower was given by my good friends Reesse Overturf, Tonya Alexander, Meredith Beeker and my sister Ashley Morgan.  It was in Charlotte and so many of my close friends from college, and from grad school were able to make the trip to come and celebrate with me.  There shower was beautiful, the food was amazing and the cake was so cute!  We received such wonderful gifts for baby C that I know we will get great use out of.
The second shower that was given to us was a shower with just my family the day after Thanksgiving.  It was given by my sister (she was a very busy girl that week!) and I was able to celebrate with my mom, dad, brother, aunts, uncles and cousins and grandparents.  It was such a sweet time as I do not get spend time with them often since they live all over the country. We received some wonderful gifts for baby C including a cross stitched poem that my mom made for the nursery.  Poem hung our nursery when we were kids. When my sister had my nephew Fletcher 2 years ago it was passed to her to hang in her nursery.  My mom was so sweet and made a second copy of the poem so that we could both have one. It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen and I cried the second I opened it. It was such an amazing surprise. 
I have attached a few pics from the showers and I hope you can see how much fun we had celebrating Baby C who will be here before we know it!

Crock Pot Love!

In preparation for Baby C's arrival I have been on the look out for yummy and easy recipes that I can make with minimal ingredients and minimal mess!  I found this one on a friends facebook page.  It was left there by a friend of hers but I saw it, it looked good so thought I would try it.  I have to say it was extra yummy so I want to share it with all of you!  So here it goes!

Zesty Chicken

4 Chicken Breast
1 8oz cream cheese
1 Cup white wine
1 pkt zesty Italian Seasoning (for Salad Dressing)
1 package of fresh mushrooms, sliced (optional)

Cook all day in the crock pot on low and serve over rice!

Enjoy!

Jummping For Joy

Well we are officially only a few weeks away from baby C's arrival and things at the Corbett household are in full swing as we prepare to meet our little one.  While the nursery isn't ready just yet I thought I would show you a pic of the baby bedding that will soon be installed in he next week or two.  It is called Jumping for Joy (which is how I feel about about the fact that God has chosen me to become a mother!) it is by Kenneth Brown and it is cute and gender neutral, which I have to say is VERY hard to find!  I love it I hope that Baby C does too!

I hope to post pics of the finished nursery soon.  Joe has taken on quite the project of all new hardwood floors, painting and new trim throughout the room.  We only have a little trim left to put up and then we can move everything in!  My sister is coming this weekend to help put it all together so fingers crossed that it will all be done and I will post pics asap!
