My First Shower!

This last weekend, my sister-in-law, Karen, and my 2 good friends, Carmen & Kelly threw a shower for me and our baby! It was a perfect shower and I loved every minute of it! I felt so blessed and overwhelmed by the generosity of all who came. My mom and sisters also came down for it so that meant a lot too! We were all sitting in my living room after the shower and that's the first time we've all been together in MY house! It's so much easier for Eric and I to just go out there. However, I think things might change a little after this little one arrives! Anyway, it has been so fun putting everything away and making everything have a place in the baby's room! It makes me all the more eager to meet this little life growing inside me!

So, a big thank you to the girls who threw it! It was perfect! On Sunday, we were in Redlands for the dedication of our neice, Maria. My sister, Julie, and her husband got Maria when she was 1 day old and her adoption was just finalized in February, a year and a half later! We are all so excited that she is a permanent member of our family and that no one can take her away! Sunday afternoon, there was a party to celebrate!

On a different note, I only have 5 more teaching weeks left! Isn't that crazy! I have Spring Break in there too and my plan is to take off 2 weeks before my due date which is April 25. I can't believe how quickly time is going. As you can see in the above photos, my belly is continuing to grow, it seems more and more rapidly! According to my dad, I'm going to fall over by the time I have this baby! Thanks, Dad!
