The OKC baby shower was wonderful. Whitney did a great job with the invitations and hosting. My mother did an amazing job decorating. Every corner was filled with a treat for the eyes. Receiving blankets were draped everywhere, baby bottles filled with condiments, framed ultrasound pictures for the guest of honor and huge stuffed jungle animals greeting people as they arrived. Mom even carved a watermelon fruit basket to look like a baby stroller complete with orange-faced baby as part of the refreshments. Plus Susan (the master cake maker) did a great and delicious job designing the cake to look just like the baby bedding. I couldn’t have asked for a better party.
The best part was seeing family and friends. I think this gathering had some particularly special moments, because there were a few faces I had not seen in years and years. My little from college whom I haven’t seen in over 5 years came and brought her adorable 9 months old son (who was the hit of the shower). Heather looked amazing: lovely face, great clothes, and one large baby belly (I’m terrified to be 9 months pregnant). Another special guest was Aubrey, a girlfriend who I haven’t seen in over 11 years but spent K-12 grade together. Plus I was able to briefly catch up Jackie and Rose, some of my OKC coworkers. I could go on and on because everyone there is very special to me. I was just thankful to see everyone. The shower was wonderful, but the company is what made the day truly special.

Now I cant wait to get started working on the baby room. My parents have volunteered to come and visit over the 4th of July and participate in a weekend of slave labor as we move the office into the basement and set up the baby room. Thank goodness for family!

That was a great day! Thanks for including me. It is neat to be surrounded by so many family and friends to celebrate something amazing. You are surely blessed! And you look amazing!!!!
Looks like you had a great time, and I was sad to miss it. Alas, I was busy to a family fish fry in SE Oklahoma... I would have loved to see you and touch that baby boy belly. The new layout looks great!
I'm sad to have missed your shower! It was a stressful week as Abe was out of town and Mira was up every two hours at night during the entire week and then didn't sleep much during the day. Needless to say, mommy was tired, and with daddy gone, it was a rough week (not to stress you out about having a baby, I'm pretty sure it was just a growth spurt b/c Mira was back on track the next week). And then to top it all off, I found out at the last minute that day that Abe's family was in town to celebrate his sister's birthday. Good thing I had already showered so I could rush out the door! Glad you had such a great time and got some great loot!
