31 Weeks and Baby Shower #1

Sorry for the delay on this post. For some reason there just don't seem to be enough hours in the day here lately. A little over a week ago I hit the 31 week mark. AND, I had my first baby shower. I thought I'd combine these two events in one post to save a little time. :-)

Here is my 31 week picture (taken at the shower). I feel like I look huge, but maybe that's because I'm 31 weeks pregnant....

As you can see there was quite a spread at the shower. This is thanks to my friend with whom I share a rich history of memories Carla (referred to in previous posts as my oldest pal, which apparently implies she old...which she's not), my mom, Carla's mom (like a second mom to me), and my sisters. Here's a shot of the whole gang.

In case you didn't know (or couldn't tell), from left to right this is my sister Tina, Nancy (Carla's mom), Carla, umm...me, Cindy (my mom), my sister Stephanie, and that's my sweet niece Addison hiding behind the food.

There is so much to say about the shower. It was AMAZING!!! It was held at an historic house in Greenwood, which I LOVE! The food was chosen according to what my friends and family know I love. They even had pumpkin spice candles burning throughout the house...If you know me, you know this is significant. Here are some pics of various things at the shower:

Left is the picture table with pictures of Jason and I as babies/kids and then some of our maternity pictures. On the right is the words of wisdom table. Everyone left notes for me about being a mom.

On the left is the diaper four-wheeler Carla made. Jason loves riding four-wheelers, so this was actually for him. LOVE IT!!! On the right is the diaper cake Carla made, which has fabric that matches the nursery.

As you can see we got TONS of great stuff! All of the blankets on the chair are home made. I have such talented friends and family!

It was a great day!!! I cried four times at the shower because I was just so overwhelmed with all of it (well, and I'm pregnant so I cry easily anyway :-)).

There was one more BIG surprise on this day, but it deserves a post all it's own. More on that later.
