We were showered...

We made our last "childless" drive to Tennessee a few weekends ago, and were lucky enough to be showered with gifts and well wishes at a beautiful  baby shower. Reid will be starting out life right with a ton of cute clothes and gear, thanks to mine and my dad's friends.

Flowers from my mom

Looks great on you, babe!

One of the hits of the shower were the "teepee" cups that topped the diaper cake. You can look up what those are if you aren't familiar, but they were pretty funny!

Extra special gift: My sister made this for Reid's room

Reid's first tool kit. I am sure he will be very mechanically inclined like his daddy!

With the assistance of our sweet neighbor, Peggy and my best friend Amber (right), my sister pulled off a very beautiful shower full of lots of DIY decor that I am sure took her hours and hours. I am very appreciative of all her hard work.

My grandmother was even able to come to our shower. Although I am sure she was in some pain and exhausted, she sure did look beautiful and classy as always! She made the day extra special for us.

Thanks to my sister for taking pictures of the shower! She also took a few maternity pictures for me that evening. Our plan was to take some of J.R. and I the next morning, but poor guy became violently sick that Saturday evening after the shower, and needed to stay in bed all day Sunday. So excuse all of the pictures of me in this post (I am pretty sick of seeing my bloated self too, lol). By request, here are a few of the ones she took:

I have convinced J.R. to accompany me to take some more maternity photos with the both of us this weekend. We will see how well we can accomplish this on our own with only the help of a tripod. If we do pull it off, I will post a few next week:). Hope everyone has a great weekend!!
