Sunday Post - 150 & Stacking the Shelves - 108

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ The Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~this meme was inspired in part by ~ In My Mailbox~ It's a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.

This was a fast week. Husband and I were off work on Thursday. We had an ultrasound and doctor's appointment that morning. Then we went to Walmart to take some gender reveal pictures. Thursday afternoon, I rode with my sister and nephew to Mobile to go to our cousin's graduation. They had a party for her. And then we spent Thursday night at my grandparents' house. Friday we hung out with aunt and uncle and cousins and played cards most of the day. Went back and spent the afternoon and night with the grandparents again. Saturday morning was a baby shower for my cousin and his wife. That was fun. Monday is Memorial Day for us in the US. And because I know you're dying to know...

It's a girl!

  3. I'd suggest waiting until all parts of Never Never are released before you start any of them. That way you can binge read them. I started Champion today so I can't wait to see how the series ends. Thanks so much Laura! We'll probably wait until birth to reveal her name! Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Sorry I'm so late responding!
