It's Shower Time!!!!

On Saturday (10/4), my mom and sister threw me a baby shower in Delaware (see pics above @ 26 weeks). Andy's parents had come to our place on Friday so his mom, Sharon, and I went to DE for the festivities. I almost cried when i saw all of the personal details that mom and Er had included in the shower. Mom made a diaper cake and a wishing well with a baby bath theme. They also had an invite framed and a cake designed from the 2 peas in a pod invite. Oh and who could forget the edible fruit arrangement that is a duck bank keepsake?!? Now i have plenty of things for what i have dubbed "the trinket shelf" in the nursery. It was wonderful to see everyone and to spend time catching up with friends and family. Andy's Uncle Kevin even drove up to deliver shower presents because his wife was sick. I think he secretly enjoyed himself with all of the ladies :) We played the "guess how big meg's belly is" game and once again everyone guessed that i was huge. We also played a name game where we had to address each other by names such as: Crib (that was me), Rattle (Mom), Bottle (Sharon), Nasel Syringe (poor mom mom!) and Breast Pump (Aunt Linda sure was a good sport on that one! Additionally, we played the game where you couldn't say "twins" or "baby/babies" which proved much more difficult for me as the mother-to-be than in the past as a shower guest. Needless to say, i lost my necklace within minutes of the game starting. Lastly, we played charades with baby terms and i opened the presents. Everyone has been so thoughtful with the gifts and we are truly blessed to have such a large group of supportive friends and family as we begin this journey into parenthood.

Is that really how big i look, Aunt Linda?!?

OH and did i mention that Andy and his dad painted the dining room and installed the ceiling fan in the nursery while we partied it up in Delaware????
