33 Weeks Down, 7 to Go!

Shower with Golfing Friends

On Saturday, October 18th my golfing friends Sandi, Michelle and Traci hosted a brunch shower for me. We were greeted with mimosas and then had delicious quiche, muffins and fruit. My mother in law and sister were able to come all the way from Kansas and DC.

I didn't want to cut the cake, it was too cute.

However, it was also really good so I'm glad I did!

Work Shower

On Sunday, October 5th my good friends Theresa, Terri and Cyndi gave me a shower. Many of our coworkers and the wives of many coworkers were able to come. It was a great afternoon and we got some great gifts for our little guy.
