On Sunday, my aunt Lynn (with the help of Nicole and Mom) threw me a baby shower! I was very touched! Since this is the only time we'll be driving to IL before the baby is born, this was the perfect time to throw me a shower b/c we can haul the gifts back to TX in the truck.
The shower attendees included: Mom, Aunt Lynn, lil' cousin Nicole, my brother's girlfriend Pam, Aunt Kay, Aunt Tina, my cousin Jayme and her daughter Kaylie, my cousin's wife Melissa (who is also pregnant), and long-time family friend Renee'.
Nicole, me, and Kaylie:
We enjoyed lots of good finger foods that Lynn and Mom prepared. Then, we played a few games: name that baby food, list the baby animal names, and a baby word scramble. Next, I opened all of the great gifts. I received lots of onesies, some bath towels & wash clothes, a few cute outfits, bottles, baby rattles, diapers & wipes, a pack-n-play, and a very pretty knitted blanket. Robert had to buy a tote to be able to haul all of the stuff back. Thanks to everyone who attended!
