Baby Bender Shower!

This past Saturday my sister threw me a baby shower - I was a gigantic 34 weeks pregnant!  It was an excellent party and my mom, grandma, and many of my closest friends were able to attend.  Special shout outs to my friends Alison, Whitney and Crystal for flying from out of state for the party!  Also a big thank you to my sister for organizing the whole thing and giving up one of her weekends to make it happen.  My sister also carved a baby carriage out of a watermelon, which was pretty impressive.   

We opened presents and had some fun games.  The winners of the day included Lauren (most correct answers on baby quiz), Harry (most creative hmmm....), and Emma (closest guess with belly ribbon measurement). 

I've included some of my favorite pictures from the shower. 

 

 

James's Aunt Helen and cousins Tiffany and Sydney also sent a lot of awesome gifts.  They were missed and I truly appreciated their thoughtfulness!

Thank you again for everyone who came to the shower and made it so fun, and to those who sent warm wishes and gifts from afar even though you couldn't attend.

Stay tuned - the baby will be here in 6 short weeks!
