This past Saturday (10/25) was my baby shower. it was held at my church, Whiting Community Baptist Church. I can't believe we are to this point already...the baby shower...MY baby shower! It's an event I always attended for friends and family, and always wondered when it would be my turn. I can't find the perfect words to explain how unbelievably awesome it was -- so much fun, so many people came, and they came for us. I was truly touched and I hugged everyone, twice, I think, or more! We are so blessed to have the kind of supportive friends and family that we do. We couldn't do it without all of you! Here are some pictures...courtesy of my neighbor Nancy.
two cameras pointing at me, didn't know which way to look....sorry for the funny face, Nancy! :) 
ok, so not the cutest pic of me, but here is my sister Suzie on the right handing and organizing gifts as I opened, and my friend Jenny on the left recording the gifts for Thank You's. Thanks girls for your help!!
These are little table decorations that I made. Each one had a different "baby" icon from a stroller, a onesie, a bootie, this baby and moon, to a baby in a pea pod. There were six in total and I cut the icons out from my Cricut using the New Arrival cartridge. Now I am prepared to start baby's scrapbook!! See, sometimes I DO think ahead:)
After the shower, my sisters came to my house and helped me cut tags, sort and wash all the clothing, blankets, burb cloths, everything!! Then we proceeded to put some things together. Suzie was so anxious to put together the Fischer Price Little Lamb cradle swing, and she did a wonderful job! It is so cute!! Sasha put together the Bright Starts By Your Side seat, which Tom will love rocking next to his son, and I took the easy road... the Fischer Price Hoppy Days bouncer.
It's a good feeling to have accomplished so much. Of course there is still lots to get done before baby arrives, and now I'm in the "getting things done" mode, so look out! I'm determined to have the baby's room all set and done, ready and waiting, within the next few weeks.
Long at last, it was a wonderful baby shower, fun games, prizes, yummy food, a good time mingling, hugging, and opening presents. I can't thank everyone enough for their love and support. We are so thankful to you all. We love you!!
