Shower time!

First off, I am so sorry that I have been such a blog slacker. I am (was) one of those people who checks her email and blog everyday. I also check everyone else's blog too--everyday. But this pregnancy has really kicked my butt. I am so so sick. Last week, I spent the entire week on my knees in front of the toilet. I literally thought I was going to die. Poor London just watches and sometimes cries, as I am puking my heart out. Oh, it was terrible. I am feeling somewhat better today, and just hope that the Lord will give me strength to get through these tough times. Every time I go to get sick, I keep telling myself, "this too shall pass," over and over again. I am 13 weeks, so hopefully it will get better. (Sara-I think we might just be having aliens!)

A few weekends ago, we got to celebrate! I threw my sister a baby shower, and we had the best time! I was so stressed and wanted everything to be perfect. Jessica W.'s shower inspired me, so I went with the baby/Valentine theme. Everything was pink and red. The cake had hearts, the diaper cake was red, and all the decorations matched the theme. It turned out really cute and of course, very girly! I think it went really well, and she had a great time! She is due in April, and we can't meet to little Scarlett! Here are some pics of that great weekend!


Michelle and Chris--the proud parents-to-be!




All the yummy food!



Isn't this cake adorable? Jessica R. referred me to a lady named Sandy, and she did a great job! Her web address is on my blog! I will definitely use her again!




The presents--and not even half of the guests were there yet!






I was so proud of my diaper cake! Thank you so much Jessica W.! I couldn't have done it without you!



I hope you liked your shower Auntie! I loved doing this for you!

Mandy, I'm so sorry you're feeling yucky. I sympathize in a major way. I was the same way with Jonathan. It does get better! Hang in there!

Mandi,
It was so great to finally meet you guys! The shower was absolutely wonderful. We really appreciate you guys letting us hang out with the fam, I know that Scarlett is just going to be surrounded with so much love and lots of people to hold her! It was so much fun, thanks for letting us be a part of it!
