My two sweet friends Kelly and Leslie got together and planned a girly girl baby shower for me and yesterday I saw the fruits of their labor. Leslie used to be my across-the-street neighbor (in our old neighborhood). She now lives in Alabama while her husband is deployed for a year. She and her baby Jack have been staying with us this week while she took care of some stuff here. Kelly is my new neighbor and in our ward. They are both so sweet and generous and apparently amazing at putting social events together.
The shower started out a little stressful because Adam was at work so I had to get a babysitter to watch the boys while I went to Kelly's house for the shower. She forgot. I could see all the cars driving up to Kelly's house and I was sitting at home with my sleeping boys waiting for the babysitter. Once she was called and reminded she came over and I was on my way...sweating up a storm from the 10 minutes of stress the lateness caused me.
This is me and my little buddy Ali, who I would love to clone for my little girl to look like.
We played a game with ultrasound pictures. We had to name the body part on each one and considering I can't tell what's what in my own babies' ultrasounds when the technician is pointing them out, I knew I wouldn't fare too well. I was right. It was hard. I still don't know how Rachel and Jen got 100%.
Everyone was so generous and little female got some serious pink gear. It was like everyone reached into my brain, saw what style I love, and gifted accordingly. She'll be looking pretty swank the first year of her life.
Kelly, Amy, Denise, Chrysta, Leslie, Stephanie, Nicole, Jen, me, Emilie, Sarah, Rachel, Shari, Megan.My friend April was nice enough to take a lot of the pictures before she had to leave and so now she's not in any of them. She's a great photographer as well as an amazing friend.

YAY!!! and wow--look how adorable everything was! You're awesome!!!
The shower was great. Looks like you are set and ready for this little one to arrive. I can't wait to meet her.
how fun! I love little girl clothes. I was just talking to a girl at church today and we are loving all the baby spring dresses in the stores and how we need to have a friend pregnant with a girl to buy for---to bad we aren't closer ;)
Yay! Wish I could have been. Girly girl is going to be so cute. You are amazing!
Looks like it was really fun. If you lived closer I could've been there :) But then you wouldn't have all those fun friends. I like the highlights in your hair. I also seriously loved that you were able to lay back and relax while you opened gifts. just perfect for a preggy!
Girls are lame. They throw lame parties and they are lame babies.
I thought about leaving it at that without saying I was joking, but I didn't want to offend any of your friends, who obviously aren't lame. We're excited to have another girl in the family!
It was a lot of fun! I love showers! Thanks for inviting me: )
Sure looks like it was a blast ... and the food looks AWESOME! Sad I missed it -- but we'll get to Augusta SOON and see you guys! HUGS!
I'm so sorry I missed it. It looks like everything was so beautiful and yummy. Those ladies did a great job! Does that gorgeous blue dress come in my size? Oh, she is just going to be a "looker." And yep, that Ali is definitely a cutie! Can't wait to see your new cutie! Glad you had a great time! ...And I'm so sorry about your "Gramps". Isn't it special when you love a person that made the world a better place!?!
congrats!! girly stuff is so fun!
I am glad you have such nice frineds. I wish I could have been there to party with you.
