always a bridesmaid...

Last weekend, we showered Alyssa with a Pampered Chef party.

Now, this wasn't JUST a PC party, but it was a PC party: Bridesmaid style!

We were told to wear a bridesmaids dress...and you know I love a theme. Any other time in my life, I would have just pulled out the 15 dresses I have in my closet. But since I am chubby  pregnant, this was a more difficult task. I ended up finding a dress that was a much larger size than I was used to....and it fit. But I am telling myself that it only fit in the belly region.

Back to the shower...It was so much fun! Alyssa made a PC wishlist with all her items she wanted and we could pick what we wanted to buy her. Love this idea!

Pretty bride-bridesmaid!

27 dresses.

Ya'll, this was LOTS of girls in LOTS of bridesmaids dresses...and 3 of them were mine!

Of course, you know pregs called dibs on the couch

Next, I felt it appropriate to have a pregnant bridesmaid maternity shoot...via iphone.

You don't have to tell me, I know I am chubby. What I really should have included was a picture of my belly with the heart symbol made with my hand....

KIDDING! this girl will not be par-taking in that ridiculousness.

And in case the far away version wasn't enough, I got an up-close for you!

I must admit, I didn't mind wearing that dress...maybe it was the pinkness of it all? If I was still pregs at halloween, I would definitely wear this and be 'bloated pepto-bismal'. I think I could get top 5 with this! ha!

Next, my lastest sewing adventure...appliques! This is Hudson's first mommy-made onsie with an "H" in a cute, boy fabric. And let me just tell you...sewing with a onsie is not easy. I'm lucky that thing is not all sewn together in a ball. Stitches are alittle off and I am still trying to master the turn-and-sew technique (totally made that lingo up).  First attempt, though. It can only go up from here.

Hudson, I made these with the best of intentions, so you can not make fun of them.

Have a fabulous day! And get out of this heat!
