This afternoon my wonderful friends threw a baby shower for me and little Baby Sister. Here's a preggo shot before leaving the house. I do believe the bump is getting bigger every day!
Joanna even has a little seat up there! You can't tell, but her shirt says, "Big sisters rock!"
The BEAUTIFUL table at Amy's house for the shower. It was a fall/Thanksgiving theme with yummy Thanksgiving-ish food. It was soooooooo fabulous!
There was even cider -- I love cider!
A cookie cake! I love cookie cake!!
A sweet message for us!
I gotta tell you: I really liked going to my baby shower pregnant. For those of you who weren't around, let me tell you why that's significant. :) The shower for Joanna was huge, up at the church, and scheduled for February 25th. Joanna was born February 22nd. So, for a fun twist, she actually got to come (live and in person). That part was very cool, as was seeing everybody. However, I was 3 days postpartum, my temperature was fluxuating weirdly, my emotions were fluxuating weirdly, and my body was just weird. I don't think it was a typical baby shower experience.

The food was FABULOUSLY WONDERFUL. I may forget something, but we had this pumpkin sausage soup with bread, cookie cake, candied almonds, these peanut butter marshmellow cheerios things, pumpkin choc chip muffins, and apple cider. I think I remembered it all. Oh, how I wished my stomach was bigger!
Anyway, then I got to open gifts -- I love tiny baby girl presents!!
Me with our loot:
The blanket and cap my mom made:
I didn't get pictures of everything (I think someone was slacking...) but we also got the bedding for Baby Sister -- it's so beautiful! I'll post pics of it eventually, but right now that would require me getting up from this chair. There were little tiny booties and little tiny outfits and bottle nipples and a food mill and bibs (yea!) and other fabulous things. Also, my wonderful hostesses got together and gave us a gift certificate to Portrait Innovations. I can't wait (okay, really I can) to have a family picture made of all of us!!
