Baby Shower

So back when I found out I was pregnant, I really wanted a baby shower but some people think its tacky. Then when I found out we were having a girl I thought, well if I have a shower it is a little more practical because I don't have any girlie things. So I planned a shower and my visiting teacher came over and asked what she could do for me and I said maybe she could bring some food item to the shower I was throwing the following month. She said that she had an even better idea, that she would throw it for me! Perfect! I was so grateful and happy for this! It  costs a bit of money to throw parties you know! So she took over and I sent her my "plans" for it and she just ran with the Lil' Lady Bug theme. And she did an absolutely tremendous job. The food was so much fancier than I would have done. Also so many of my great friends and family attended and others still got me something even though they weren't able to come. I am so blessed to have such wonderful people in my life! I enjoyed chit chatting and I felt bad because you can never talk long enough or get around to everyone in such a short amount of time. But I'm so thankful for all who came to celebrate Carly's forthcoming birth! She is one spoiled daughter before she even arrives. She has the cutest newest wardrobe and lots of blankets, and other essentials! My cousin was especially generous and gave me a ton of new looking hand me downs from her own baby's wardrobe. It amazes me that they are all brilliantly colored and stainless. She was so kind! I now also  have enough money from the shower to probably buy the other things I need that I didn't get from the shower. Anyway, so we ate and talked and they guessed how big my belly was with a string and then I opened gifts.
