Busy Weekend

Last weekend was a busy weekend for this pregnant girl. Friday night was rehearsal dinner for the wedding I was in on Saturday. The wedding on Saturday was closely followed by my final baby shower. Needless to say, by the time I got home around 10p on Saturday night, I was exhausted...but feeling SO blessed.

IN a wedding you ask? Yes, IN a wedding. One of my closest friends, Lora, got married on Saturday. I was one of six bridesmaids.

As you can see, it was a beautiful wedding! Can you spot the pregnant bridesmaid (third from the left)? Lawson fit nicely in my dress and my bouquet helped hide him just a little in some pictures.

I actually love this dress. And, if there is such a thing as flattering for someone who's 36 weeks pregnant, this was it. I loved being a part of such a special day in Lora's life! I will say I think I made several people nervous thinking I might go into labor. Or, that my water would break. The pastor told me several times that he has a strict no water breaking in the sanctuary policy. Lucky for everyone Lawson was a good boy and stayed put. :-)

After the wedding, I changed and headed to my final baby shower. My sweet friends Katie, Katy, Jill and Laura threw a fantastic shower! I got to see some old friends too!

Here I am with the lovely hostesses. What a special group of friends! I'm so blessed to have them in my life.

By the way, I stole these pictures from Katie's blog (because I can't seem to remember my camera). These cupcakes are just too stinking cute. Everything at the shower had a little tag: "C is for Chicken and Rice Soup" or "F is for Fruit". Too cute. They put so much work into all of it.

This wreath was on the front door. I LOVE it. It will likely make an encore appearance on the door at the hospital when Lawson is born.

Thank you to all four of the fabulous hostesses! I cherish my friendship with each of you!
