Showered with Love

Playing with one of Chase's toys....hope he'll enjoy it as much as I do!

Everyone listening to Dawn for instructions on how to play one of the games at the shower


My first baby shower cake...it's long gone now! I think I ate at least 25% of it all by myself!

My mother-in-law actually made these milk chocolate and white chocolate sea critters for the shower in Hopewell!

Are these decorations cute or what?

The Dessert Table.....SWEEET! You can see a glimpse of the cake that Patti Allen made for me....her cakes are always a work of art and they taste as good as they look!

More Beautiful Table Decorations

Here I am in my last month of pregnancy! My dear friend Kristina Cotten is standing next to me sporting her 6-month baby bump! We're both having boys!

This is the awesome "cupcake cake" that was devoured at my shower today....yum!

Here are the sweet girls from my Sunday School class who master-minded today's shower (Left to Right: Katie Byers holding her son Gavin, Debi Warren, Me, Heather Brady)

Wow....just one more month to go (unless Chase arrives early)! Over the past few weeks, I've been showered with love and lots of wonderful gifts for Chase. I've enjoyed every moment of the pre-Chase stage, but I'm looking forward to his arrival within the next few weeks. The above pictures are just a glimpse of how beautiful and fun all of the baby showers have been. I have TONS more pictures, but decided to just post a few here on the blog. I explained the first shower pretty well in the last blog posting, so I guess I should elaborate on the last two showers a little.....

Amber threw me a shower in Hopewell last Saturday and it was wonderful! As you can see in some of the pictures, the decorations were nautical and "fishy".....so cute! Several of Tim's neighbors, friends, and family members made it to the shower to help us celebrate! Dawn and Laurie tagged along with me too, and I was so thankful to have their help and support. The food was great at the shower....Amber and Pam went all out! We received a lot of great gifts, including a personalized wishing well with all kinds of practical items.

My Sunday School class threw me a baby shower/brunch today at Debi Warren's house in Newport News. Once again, the decorations were adorable (mostly "Finding Nemo" stuff) and the food was out of this world! I guess I get a little too excited over food these days, ha, ha! Anyhow, it was great getting to celebrate this time with the girls from my Sunday School class. My friend Kristina Cotten even drove all the way from Maryland for the shower! I'm so blessed to have such great friends!

One final shower to go next Saturday from my girlfriends at work....I don't know hardly any details of this shower, so it will be a surprise! Can't wait!

Chase is already one spoiled little man! Thanks to all of you for sharing these special moments with us whether it's been through showers or other occasions! We love you!
