Shower Mania!

Below you can see some pictures from the two baby showers we have had. The first shower took place in Ashland on August 2nd. My sister, Jody, threw the shower for us and she did an outstanding job! The second shower took place in Lexington on August 9th. Two of my best friends, Holly Hannis and Stephanie Brown, threw this shower. They did an outstanding job as well! I had so much fun working with all of them while they planned the showers. I especially enjoyed the rivalry between the three of them over who was going to have the best shower (we all went to Morehead together and are in the same sorority)! Both showers were so much fun and I hope that these ladies realize how much David and I appreciate everything they've done for us! I love them all dearly and just don't know what I'd do without them :)

Sometimes its hard to believe that David and I are so blessed with such wonderful family and friends. We can't thank everyone enough for all of the amazing gifts we received! This baby is pretty much set. We've got swings, music gyms, a high chair, bath products galore, the cutest toys, baby monitors, a car seat, a stroller, and so much more that I can't even think of all of it! And you should see all the adorable outfits! David and I are going to have the best dressed baby in Lexington :)

It's hard to imagine that our due date is Oct. 9th...that's like two months from now!!! David and I have both been freaking out just a little bit lately, especially me. I've accepted the fact that the whole having the baby is going to be uncomfortable and painful. I've not accepted the fact that they are going to send me home with him just two days after he pops out. Am I really going to know what to do with the kid once he gets home? People keep telling me I will and I've read enough books and talked to enough people that I should know what to do, but I'm still not so sure about it (I've heard and read that this is a normal feeling)!

Other than the anxiety, I've been feeling pretty good. That's all about to change because school starts Aug. 13th. I've spent my summer break taking it easy and it is going to be a big adjustment being back on my feet all day!

That's all for now. Enjoy the shower pictures!

Here I am at the Ashland shower...I'm huge!!!

Jody, Mom and me at the Lexington shower. We really didn't plan to dress alike!

Me and my sister!

Jody thought it would be fun to see who had the bigger belly. I think her balloon belly won :)
