28 weeks Pregnant and a Baby Shower

          This past weekend my mother, mother-in-law, and my mom's dear friend Mary threw me a wonderful baby shower in Shelby, NC.  It was a great weekend and fun was had by all.  Kenny, Tripp, and I felt overwhelmed with all the love we were shown, and we are definitely starting to feel more prepared for our little boy's arrival. 

           I got into town Friday night and headed to dinner with my parents, cousin Laura, and my little "big" brother Alex (I call him that because no one thinks he is actually my little brother.  Everyone assumes he is older, and that is okay by me!)  We hit up a Chinese buffet and it was DELICIOUS!

           I got the boot from the house Saturday morning so that they could set up for the shower! Dad, Laura, Alex, and I all went to IHOP for a late breakfast.  By the time we got back, guests were starting to arrive and the men were off to play golf for the afternoon. 
           The food was delicious and everything looked so cute! Here is a picture re-cap of the afternoon!

Me with the wonderful hostesses!

The Cakes...delicious!  Kenny and I took one each to work so that we wouldn't gorge ourselves on cake all week long.  Needless to say, my 2 year old class LOVED having cake for snack time. My fellow teachers weren't so enthused...12 2-year olds on a sugar high are somewhat difficult to control. Oops. :-)

All the baby swag.

The delicious food!

Here are just a few of the awesome presents we received!

I know, I am flooding you with pictures, but this is a picture re-cap kind of day! Here are few more and then I promise I am done!

Kate and I.  28 weeks pregnant! Whoop!

            Kenny unfortunately couldn't make the trip up for the shower due to night float.  It was fun to reopen all the gifts and show him what all our family had gotten us.  After seeing all the goodies we received, he set out to assemble the stroller and leave me to organize the nursery.  It really was a wonderful weekend and we can't wait to use all the goodies when Tripp finally arrives! Thank you to all who came and sent gifts! We feel so very loved and blessed!
