Baby Shower

I'm really bad at this blog thing. I never post regularly. I won't be boring and try to catch you up on everything since I last posted, cause nothing has really happened.

I had a baby shower this past weekend. The Women in the Church hosted it for me, which was really nice of them. A lady at my church has a catering/food preparation business and she prepared all of the food. (Of course you knew the pregnant woman was gonna talk about the food first.) She made shrimp and grits, petit fours, and some kind of sauce for the fruit. There were also sausage rolls (pigs in a blanket) and fruit plates. I of course had my plate loaded up with pineapple, strawberries, grapes, petit fours, and sausage rolls. Although, I can't really say that I got to eat all of my food because my niece, Lucy, saw that I was the first one with food and so was stuck to my side eating my petit fours and strawberries.

I won't even begin to list all of the wonderful things I received. We'd be here forever. When all the gifts were loaded in my car, there was barely enough room on the backseat for Chris' mom to sit down. And I didn't even have enough room on my kitchen table to sort through everything. Chris and I are so blessed to have so many people who care about us and the baby to want to help us as we start our family.

I was so glad that some of my family could come down for the shower. My Aunt Traci Jean, cousins Jennifer and Christina, and my brother's family were all able to make it. I didn't realize it til this weekend, but this might be the last time I'll see them til after Baby Girl is here. My cousin Meredith is getting married July 18, and I've been so wrapped up in whether or not I would be able to make it to that (which I've been told I can't, btw), that I've totally forgotten about not being able to go to York anymore. Hopefully I will be able to get in one or two more trips before the doc says "no more traveling." It was good to see everyone though. And I loved all of the time I got to spend with little Lucy.

While the chicks were at the baby shower, the dudes were at the casino. Yeah, I know, at the casino at 10 in the morning. But I can't really complain. Chris won $300 while he was there. And since it was the baby shower weekend, we might just have to put his winnings towards a college fund.
