Baby Showers!

Well I was waiting to put pictures up from my baby showers, but since I never take pictures I have to wait until people send me copies and I'm still waiting for pictures from 2 showers, but it's been too long since I blogged so I will go ahead and post about them!

I had a shower at the church about a month ago now. I was so nervous because, if you know my at all, I hate being the center of attention, but I had fun and I know that I have a lot of people who care about me and my family. I am a very lucky person and am grateful for all the love I get everyday! The shower was thankfully small and quick! :0) It was a perfect to start getting ready for the baby!

My friends Leslie, Jasmine and Elizabeth through me another baby shower a few weeks later. Luckily the church shower prepared me! Again I had a lot of fun and I didn't even mind playing games! hehe Here are just a few pictures. All the ones I have are just of me and we don't need to see all that! I will post more if and when I get them! :)

Here is my pretty and YUMMY cake!

Here is just one of me... I can't wait to start jogging again!

Then I had a surprise baby shower yesterday at my grandmother's house! I was told we were going to have a Mother's Day surprise for my grandmother and even though everyone was acting a little funny, I believed them! When I walked in I was greatly surprised to see all the women in my family dressed in pink and the entire room decorated for a baby shower! They threw me a diaper shower and thankfully I had the other two showers to prepare me. This time the games we played were a little involved. We played pin the baby to the mommy ( I pinned the baby coming out of the mommy which I thought was very appropriate!), the close pin leg crossing game, the guess the candy in the diaper game (yuck!) and then a game where we had to pick out safety pins from a bowl of rice while blindfolded! Harder than it looks! All the women gave me advice and of course we ate!

Joey even gave me a gift for my shower! There was a red box tied with a white ribbon and of course I recognized it from Red Envelope (if you have never looked at their website then you should... you would LOVE it). I opened it and it was a beautiful silver necklace.

It's called "Mother's Eternal Love" and this is the description that comes with the necklace: "Rendered from a single, unending loop of sterling silver, this pendant is a unique interpretation of mother and child caught in an eternal embrace." Isn't that beautiful! I have an amazing husband!

Unfortunately after the shower, Joey and I had to go to the hospital to get Evelyn checked out. She was moving a lot less and we needed some piece of mind. We didn't get home until after 2AM so that is why I am sitting here blogging and leaving church to go to a Mother's Day lunch. I will post more about Evie and everything that happened a little later. Basically the outcome is everything is alright, except our little stinker likes to play tricks, but I will explain more later!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Mother's Day!
