Our Baby Shower

Our Baby Shower was on Tuesday, and it was really fun. I have to admit, I was really looking forward to it. I mean you only get one, maybe two baby showers in your whole life right? So anyways, it was pretty cloudy and the marine layer was really thick at first (as you can see in the first picture) but the sun soon came out and it was a beautiful day. And I, of course, got sunburned to a crisp. I'm still feeling the pain today. My lucky little one Chels isn't even pink though, ugh. She is a blessed child, she never sunburns!

***Disclaimer: I am looking huge a swollen these days. Don't judge me! Only about 5 more weeks now.

My table with some of my friends.

Our Bishop's wife was so thoughtful and brought a little present for Chels. She was delighted!

Opening presents. I told them all I didn't want to sit next to Shannon, because she's still so skinny and she's due 3 weeks before me, but they made us :(
Me with Shannon (in red) and Ellowyn, our amazing friend who hosted the Shower and put everything together.
The diaper cakes that Ellowyn made us, so cute!

All in all it was so much fun and I'm so thankful to everyone who came and all the gifts we recieved. I'm starting to get a little sad to leave CA and all the friends I've made. It's all part of life though. I'm just trying to look forward to the next part of our journey.
