Baby Shower with Daddy's Family

Today was our baby shower with Matt's family. It was so nice to see everyone.

 

I didn't realize how chubby in my face I looked that day- maybe it's just how my hair is laying. Look at that hottie beside me though :)  Here's a close up of the cute corsage that they made for me to wear.

 

 

And a picture of the cute baby toy decorations, and a sign telling everyone to take a candle and say a prayer for use once they hear we are in labor. (I didn't cry this time when I handed them out-- I cried at another point.... I guess tears are a given.)

 

 

 

Good company, good conversations and good food.... (Look at those cupcakes- chocolate and a spice one- YUMM)

what more could you ask for from a baby shower?!?
Predictions you say- well here you go!

Out of twelve guests  seven predict that Bebe will be a boy (Matt's mom, grandma Anne, Aunt Tammy, Aunt Kirsten, Aunt Debbie, Cousin Heather, Jimmy)
Fives guests predicted Bebe will be a girl (Matt's sister, Aunt Kelly, Aunt Teresa, cousin Kaitlin and cousin Ashton)

The boys won again.   Oh boy oh boy!   I guess we will see. I can't wait :)

So what does everyone think our little one will look like?
Eight guests think Bebe will have blonde hair, two think it will be brown and one person thinks it will actually be red!   (Matt does seem to have some red in his beard depending on the light). Six guests think Bebe will have blue eyes, five think the eyes will be brown and one says green.

I just love seeing everyone's predictions! And again reading the traits that people hope that our little one inherit from us brought tears to my eyes. You don't always think about yourself in those ways, pointing out the positives. But to have someone else write them just makes me smile. And such wonderful wishes everyone had for our future child. Again I hope they ALL come true!

 

 

And here is a picture of all the goodies that Bebe P got.  We are truly blessed and can't thank everyone enough for coming out and celebrating with us and showering us with such love and thoughtfulness.  Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! And Thank you again!
