Baby Shower

Hi All,
I want to start today by recapping yesterday's news. I had a baby shower hosted by my friends, Michelle and Carrie, in Dewitt (my old home town). Several friends as well as my mom and sister were able to attend. We had a really nice afternoon, and I also received many generous and thoughtful gifts. My travel has been curtailed recently, so it was great to see the whole bunch gathered! We had some fun games, including :

In One End and Out the Other - First, we guessed the flavor of 9 jars of baby food based on viewing only. Then, we had 9 "messy diapers" actually filled with melted candy bars, where we were asked to guess the candy bar contents of each diaper based on viewing and smelling (no tasting allowed!)

Celebrity Baby Identification - We were given several pictures of celebrity babies and asked to identify the baby by name, or get half credit for knowing one of their parents' names.

In the end, we had a good idea of who were the baby food connoisseurs, chocoholics, and gossip magazine enthusiasts!

Here are a few pictures from the event:

Me with Tracy and Rowan. Rowan and her twin brother Evan were born on September 16, 2008. Tracy has lots of twins advice to share!















We thought of taking a group shot too late, but this is a few friends that stayed a while longer after the shower ended - Erin, Monica, Carrie, me, Michelle, LeighAnne.














A side shot of me, now at 31 weeks pregnant!















Thanks to all who were able to come and also for the good wishes from those who were not. My friend Amy was working and not able to attend the shower, but stopped to see me on Friday. Thanks Amy! I'm blessed with a wonderful group of friends!
