Baby showers!!!

This weekend I had both of my baby showers! They were both amazing and so much fun. I felt so blessed by everyone that came to both of them and Malea and I were showered with TONS of gifts! Matt and I had a great time putting everything away and we feel so blessed to have received pretty much everything that we need. After a trip to Target yesterday to spend all my gift cards and a few calls to my sister and Julie to borrow a few odds and ends I can finally say that we are totally ready for Malea to come! We even have the car seat strapped in the car with a few toys and a lamb blanket all ready to bring her home from the hospital. :) Here are some of the pictures from this weekend.

Thank you dear friends for throwing my such an AMAZING shower! Everything was SO beautiful--as only you can do Beckie--and I felt so honored by how special you all made me feel. I love you all so much, you're the greatest friends a girl could ask for!
All of the pregnant girls at my Stirring shower. Aren't we all just so cute? :)
Thank you all so much for coming and for making me feel so special! I will take to heart all of your prayers as Matt and I usher in this new stage of our lives.
These are from my family shower on Sunday.
Here is my mother-in-law, step-mother and my nephew Nathan.
The most amazing diaper cake ever! Thanks Aunt Cindy for the 65 diapers PLUS all of the great toys, shoes, and mittens!
A bunch of the handmade onsies that everyone made for Malea. So cute!
My sisters Andrea and Alisha, my nephew Parker, and my cousin Lynette.
Thank you Alisha for throwing my such a great shower! You are so creative and I know that Malea is going to look amazing in those onsies and handmade flower headbands!!!
Every little girl needs a cute teddy bear. :)
The most amazing blanket that my mom knitted for Malea--she might have to fight me for it though. :)

  1. That's the way to do your showers. Get them all done at once! You must have felt so blessed all weekend! Becky probably told you but Sarah's shower was on Saturday too. I told her maybe we should have done it two weeks later than yours so that it could have gone with the rest of the pattern! Ha ha!

  3. I'm so bummed I missed it! I'm glad you had two great showers! They looked so creative. I'm glad you got everything ready now... I didn't have anything washed for Josiah when he came early. I want you to know that you are loved and supported here and I'm so excited to see how God is blessing you through your child! I'm praying that everything goes well!
