Showered Again!

Some ladies from church were very, very sweet and threw a baby shower for us up here. I was a little hesitant because I feel like I don’t know too many people, but I do at least know the ones who threw it and it actually turned out wonderfully. About 20 people came (which surprised me because I felt like I only knew about five people… turns out I actually did know most everyone), and it was just really nice. Here are a few pictures from it…
I like food. And the lady who did the food is amazing with it. I don’t know how it ended up that both baby showers for this baby had such fabulous food, but I’m pretty sure she appreciated it almost as much as I did. There was crostini with goat cheese and caramelized onions and filet mignon, a really yummy cheese collection (and she was cute and apologized for not remembering that supposedly I’m not able to eat soft cheeses and stuff… I got to explain how I just don’t care about things like that, most especially when it comes to cheeses. I’m sure there are a whole lot of other things more dangerous to a growing fetus than something like unpasteurized cheese–but that’s a whole other discussion), couers de creme with berries–soo good, chocolate pots de cremes–also fabulous and I wanted to eat them all but decided that would be piggish, and cupcakes and cookies and other wonderful things. Oh my, I’m getting hungry.
We played this Price is Right game with baby products. I’d have been totally off, but of course got to bow out and not play. Paula, who also hosted this all at her house, put it all together. I thought it was really cute. And then I got to keep it all, which was also very nice to her on top of everything else.
Some gals in attendance. Pictures of unsuspecting people are always tricky. This is the only one where noone had obviously closed eyes and everyone had normal looking faces. I doubt any of them will ever see these pictures, but I’m saving them anyway by not posting them.
Me opening gifts, and you can sort of see Stephanie behind me, who did the invites and helped arrange everything and also acted as my right hand person at the shower. I included this picture, really, because you can see my awesome belly. Kee hee, love it.
Me again, but you can actually see my face here. We got lots and lots of presents. People seem to enjoy buying baby stuff, and especially girl clothes I think. There were a lot of great gifts that I’m super excited about!
