Baby Shower!!

This morning was my first baby shower, thrown by a handful of the women from Jonathan's family. It was totally lovely, very Christ centered, and it was great to see some people that I haven't seen since our wedding (and it was very hard to talk and fellowship with them then!). We also got some great stuff that we were very happy to get, especially some items for the nursery that Jonathan really, really wanted (and yes, I wanted it too!).

Here are some pictures:

Decorations in the living room:

Our cousin Natalie, who did a really sweet devotional instead of a game, which I loved. She had a piggy bank and a basket of gold dollar coins with a card that listen a virture, along with a short prayer and verse. We then passed the piggy bank and deposited our "blessings" into the bank, and prayed each virtue for our little girl. It was very meaningful and was my favorite part of the shower.

This is my 2nd cousin (and the newest addition to the family), Katie. She and our little one will be about five months apart. She has the craziest hair, but she was so cuddly and cute (and yes, she had two blowouts while we were there, so yes, we know about that part, too!).

And of course a picture of the mommy-t0-be, at her most exhausted state I've been in at a long time, but at a happy 31 weeks.
