Baby Showers

I am one lucky girl. There are some lovely people in my life who threw me showers for the soon-to-be newest member of our family. :) It is becoming more common to have showers for a baby that is not the first if it is a different gender, and for that I am so grateful! I may have some stuff, but you have to buy a whole new wardrobe with a boy. My sweet friend Heather put together one for the ward, and we had a blast. The food was amazing, and the company was even better. I am grateful for friends. The second baby is hard, because since I've "done this before" with Brooklyn, apparently I'm an expert. Ahem. Not so. That was three years ago, and I did it ONCE. So I am so appreciative of people who support you in pregnancy even if it's not your first. In this first picture it's Ginger, Laurie, Heather, Jenny, me, Jen, Rachel and Sara. 

Here is Linda and me.

The next shower was for the family. It was put on by my lovely Aunt Nancy and my friend Clara, who is also pregnant and whose due date is only 4 days away from mine! My family is the best. They are so supportive and they all love a good party. Grandma Seastrand wasn't able to come, but she and Grandpa did come visit us a few days before. :) She fixed Peaches for Brooklyn. That was my little dog when I was a girl, and now it's Brooklyn's. And now she's not leaking stuffing everywhere. Thanks, Grandma!

Beautiful Aunt Nancy.

Food was fantastic.

Here's a random shot of Brooklyn reading to her babies. So sweet. 

I can not WAIT for this wonderful baby boy to join us! We are all excited to meet him, and frankly I am tired of being pregnant. Hope to see him soon!
