A Baby Shower

You wouldn't believe it, but Trav had a good idea! Just kidding! Anyway, he was traveling all week in Manhatten or Orlando or something and got home late Thursday night, just in time to drive me 5 hours to St. Paul the next day. Instead, he cashed in some frequent flyer miles and I flew home for my first baby shower! What a luxury to fly for 45 minutes instead of sit in a car for 6+ hours (frequent potty breaks)!! Thank you T-Nonn!



Anyway, the party was wonderful! My sister Rachel hosted and made some incredible Martha-esque food (four types of finger sandwiches!!! Is this MY sister?) and we all had a blast. It was also great to see my mom so entralled by my growing belly, as she would always stare at it, but the baby wasn't being so cooperative, she only moved at night when I was trying to sleep! I also had a good time with my nephews, as you can see.


The pictures are some gift opening, with the first being a beautiful handmade blanket made by my friend Marla, the second a fun little wagon and fleece blanket from my cousin Gretchen, my friend Erin having fun with a game Rachel concocted, my friend Jen (pregnant with identical twin girls) and myself comparing tummies, and my nephew toting around his brother in the wagon with my friend Beth's daughter, Allie. The last one is a cute one of my nephews.
