I thought I'd share a few pics from my shower! It was absolutely wonderful! More than I could have ever asked for! My sisters and mom did a great job putting everything together! They worked so hard and everything turned out beautifully! I was so overwhelmed by everyone's generousity too! This little girl got so much stuff! I have the best family and friends!

Here's the table all set up:


My gorgeous cake!


Presents galore! There were so many! By the time it was time to open them the entire area was covered in gifts plus gifts under both tables!


The sign in table


Me in my non maternity dress! Was happy it fit! I bought it a couple sizes bigger than I normally wear a week before but alot can change in a week!


Me and my step brother. He didn't stay but was sweet enought to drop by with a gift. (I was fixing my ribbon when they snapped the pic!)


My big sis who hosted and my step brother


My little sis on the left and big sis on the right. I have another sister but she came down with a bad stomach virus and only made a brief appearance.


Playing some games:




My adorable cousin helping me with presents:


These are camera phone pics, but all I have since I've been on bedrest and haven't been able to take pics of everything with my camera.

The big stuff: There's a hamper, spa bath, swing, highchair, pack and play, and travel system:


Her other stuff: she got everything under the sun plus tons and tons of clothes!


This was a basket my mom ordered online. Its got personalized diapers and bibs, onsies and a few other things. It is super cute!






It was wonderful!

Looks like it was an awesome time Carla...I'm so jealous of all of you that get to have your showers before...I am NOT going to want pictures even taken of me at my shower, because I will probably be so huge...at least with it being after, the focus can be on Rayanne and not me.

[MommaLee]

Wow, you got lots of stuff! I think it is kind of neat that her initials spell AND

Thanks ladies! It was awesome! Krista, you do need to post your pics too! I actually bought a dress from motherhood maternity and ended up taking it back because it fit like a burlap sack. I wish they made maternity clothes better. The last thing you want to feel when you're feeling fat is to feel even fatter!

OMG Carla! You received a lot of stuff! Looks like a great shower!
HEY I wanna know what website your mom ordered cuz I REALLY love the name and I see my middle name there! I'm glad you are using Nicole as middle name! I'm partial to it!
