Baby Shower

On the way to the shower in Bloomington, IN. Too early in the AM for me!

The shower was in a beautiful "gathering" room in my mom's apt. blg.

Mom and her 94 year old friend Theo. Theo gave us a hand-quilted baby quilt she's made!

The cake was gorgeous! It was decorated to resemble a baby blanket and read You're the Baby of our Dreams!


The decor was pink & sage green, to match our nursery colors.

My 94- year old Papaw Jack with my 2nd cousin Rebecca.
I loved it that my Papaw came to the shower!!

Me on the left, with Teresa, the friend who introduced me to Fred on September 15, 1991!

My friend Christa and her daughter Hannah. Christa & I attended school together from grades 3-12.



My cousin Monna & her mom, my great-aunt Kathleen
My Aunt Millie & my cousin Crystal, playing "What's in the dirty diaper?" game!


My Aunt Helen sniffing the "dirty" diaper! LOL They all had melted candy bars in them and you had to sniff to see what type of candy!
Me and my great-uncle Dexter. He is Papaw's 77 year old brother. He stayed for the shower!

Time for cake!

Me & cousin Crystal

I had told my Uncle Bob to forget a baby gift...I wanted morel mushrooms and guess what was in the sack!?!?

I totally danced a jig with my mushrooms!!

A happy moment

Another happy moment!

Our baby shower was so wonderful. It was full of laughter and happy tears! I did lots of crying! We've waited so long for a baby that it was all very overwhelming...all the love and support from family and friends. We feel very blessed! A special thank you to our hostesses: my sister Karen, My mom Anita, my MIL LaQuita and to my niece Hannah for all your hard work!
