This Saturday my friend Mimi threw a baby shower for me at her house. We had some ladies from the church and some other friends come. It was really fun - and very relaxed...what I needed.
Anyway, here is another pic of Honey, Billy and me with our bellies. Seriously, we aren't even a month apart...how NOT funny is that? Anyhow, I got some really cool things. Mel from church knits all the babies in the church blankets - and when I had the twins, I got three. So, needless to say, I wasn't counting on another one for Lily...but low and behold she did make me one. And even better, an all pink one (since Emma didn't cooperate and tell us what she was going to be until right before I had them, I have to go crazy pink with Lily) The blanket is beautiful.
Also, I got a pink bunny towel from Viki. I was very excited about the towel (I know, I'm a nerd) because they sell them at Costco and I have been wanting to get three of them (different animals of course) for the three kids. I'm going to give them each their own towel holder in the bathroom and put their names over it. But the towels are 10 bucks each, and right now I can't justify spending 30 bucks on 3 towels...but 20 dollars doesn't seem so bad, right? Anyway - very excited.
And then Judy from church got me a purse size diaper changing station that is so cool- and pink. It has room for diaper cream, diapers and wipes, plus a huge changing pad attached. I'm very excited about that - so now I don't have to drag my suitcase sized diaper bag with me everywhere all the time.
I got other cool stuff like outfits and booties and diapers (praise God for diapers) and even a scrap booking kit(scrap your baby in a weekend is the claim it makes - so, I figure by the time Lily is 10 maybe I will have done it...needless to say, my mom is getting that so she can scrap away for me!)
Also, Honey got me very practical but needed gifts like nursing cream and a bottle with liners (which, with my little handy dandy pump means date nights) and Billi, my wonderful amazing gift from God friend who just moved TODAY away from here to Arkansas with her hubby and her baby "Chuck Norris" got me a cover for the car seat (pink of course) and a head support that goes inside of the head support in the car seat, since that thing really has no purpose except if the baby's head is the size of a pumpkin.
So, I'm happy. And yet I am pretty sad today because Billi is gone - but I know for a purpose. Anyway...on the first we are having a family baby shower which will be fun at Cathleen's (my sister in law) house.
And Emily - if you read this, look at all of us ladies at my baby shower compared to the ladies at Ashley's baby shower...hence one of the major differences between the Northwest and the South!

I AM LAUGHING OUT LOUD! I rarely look at Ash's site but I had to take a peep. YEP! you are SO right! I had a rude awakening at my baby showers in Denver. What are people doing wearing JEANS to my shower?!?! HAHAHAHAA! You're cracking me up. SO SAD about your friend moving away. They're hard to come by. You'll be too busy soon anyway to think about it eh? hehe Wish I was there to help you with Lily in a few weeks. Micah will be one on the 18th but I won't hope you wait that long I guess. I should just email you since this is turning into a novel. bye.
Looks like a fun baby shower, and looking at the pictures of you with Honey and Billie, I think Lili will be a good size baby. I enjoy reading all your notes - keep 'em coming.
