first baby shower.

this past saturday, i had my first baby shower!!  ali, laura, ashley, & sara were the hostesses and it was great!  the only downside was the weather.  a monsoon swept through southeast texas saturday afternoon and left a lot of people stranded.  streets and houses were flooded everywhere!!  unfortunately, my shower started in the middle of the storm so everyone who was able to get to ali’s house ended up getting soaked.  other shower-goers were stranded on the roadways and others never even got a chance to get on the road because their neighborhoods were flooded. some went home to find houses and cars flooded.  it sure made for a memorable shower (in more ways than one!) & thank you to everyone who was able to make it!!

i’m making the strange face because i just saw what my dad named the bear on his birth cetificate - “armstrong".”  apparently it’s a nasa name :)

instead of cards, everyone brought a book for the little guy to enjoy.  what a fun idea!! now his library is well on its way!  brian & i love to read so i have no doubt these books will get TONS of use!

my shower was amazing & we received such fun gifts for the little man!!  thank you for everything!! we are so blessed to have such loving friends and family!!

I think you look amazing!! You make one heck of a beautiful pregnant lady! It stinks about all the bad weather but it looks like you still had a good turn out and a good time!! Not too much longer before your little man is here!! :)
