Matt's parents threw Matt and me a super nice baby shower this afternoon which was a lot of fun. His mom really went all out with the decorations and it all looked so sweet/nice. I never had a shower when I was pregnant with Matthew so it really meant a lot to me that I was able to have one this time around. Thank you so much!



We played a couple of games, read some interesting baby myths (i.e. if you go swimming on the first day that you get married you will have twins!), and ate yummy chili and cake. It was nice to be around family and have a good time.



I can't believe that I'm already 39 weeks pregnant (well, I will be in one day). I'm so anxious to meet her and I imagine everyone else feels the same way.



I'm so happy that Great Nana is able to share in all of this with us and I greatly look forward to seeing her hold her first great-granddaughter for the first time.



Matthew definitely didn't have a lack of attention this afternoon-he even got to stay and hang out with Papa, Nana, and Great Nana after Mom and Dad left, meaning that he had a super fun day as well :)


He loved that there were gifts for him as well and not just for his sister-whom sometimes he doesn't want and sometimes he is excited for :).



He loved his new robot, even Matt enjoyed playing with it and learning all of the cool tricks that it does. (It's actually really complicated and does a ton of stuff-I still haven't figured it all out!)





Baby Stuff!!!!!



Matthew instantly became interested in the baby's car seat and wanted to check it all out. I truly feel he is going to be an awesome big brother.

Papa always has time to be silly with the Bean. Today they had a blast popping balloons and just being goofballs together.



Thank you so much everyone for making us feel so special and thank you for all of the wonderful gifts (Brittney was there even though unfortunately I don't have a picture-sorry Britt :( )

I wish we all lived closer. It would have been perfect if your family [Lori, Julie, Anne, James, PARENTS of course] could have been there... next time? hehe [when is the next babe?]
