Baby Shower!!

My baby shower was held on July 25th at our church, in the sanctuary. Pam, her girls and Cara did a wonderful job of putting everything together! The fresh flowers on the tables are all from my yard! I used daisies, strawflowers, cosmos, glads and coreopsis.

These flowers were store-bought, but beautiful none-the-less! This table held a basket of favors which were fall seeds to be planted on the day Kendall is born! And on the other side is Kendall's scrapbook which I've started. Guests were asked to write a little note to Kendall, which she can read when she's old enough.

My best friend Pam...such a wonderful hostess and awesome party planner!!! Thank you Pam, for a wonderful day!

My oldest, Cara, helping set up. She is 10 1/2 now...doesn't seem possible!

And me...almost 32 weeks pregnant...can't tell though with that dress on! I LOVE this dress. I found it on clearance for about $9 at New York & Company a couple months back...plenty of room for my growing belly! :)


I was so blessed by the wonderful generosity of my friends and family...thank you everyone!!

From my sister Sam, her husband(who is in Iraq) and her son, Jaydon.

My Aunt Bonnie in Florida gave cash a while back and I used that to purchase 2 nursing aprons/covers...one to keep home and one for on the go. Now I won't feel so strange about nursing in public! I've always hated going into another room away from everyone to nurse!
(these are one of Target's lines that I just love!)

My other sister, Jackie, has purchased a white crib w/ mattress and matching changing table...found for a great deal at a yard sale! She will also be giving us a glider rocker w/ footstool that is white with pink cushions...I've wanted one of these with my other children. I'm really looking forward to using it at night for rocking and for nursing sessions!

Sean's mom will be blessing us with a gift card for Target as well as a high chair.

And a special thank you for those of you who have passed on numerous baby clothes for Kendall!! I love going through them all...and because I have so many, I will be able to bless others as well!
