I kind of figured that I wouldn't be having a baby shower because we just moved here and we hadn't really met anyone. But last week I went to Zumba at the church and that's how I met Abby. I would have met her anyway because she's good friends with Kylee, and well everyone. She really is such a nice and outgoing person. I am working on developing my "outgoing" skills :). Anyway, so I met her on Thursday and she called me up later that day and was like "can we throw you a baby shower?"
So they threw us a shower and it was seriously amazing. We had a heart theme because Teya is going to be born around Valentines day and they just invited a bunch of people from the ward.
I just feel so grateful for everyone who came and supported me even though we just got here and they don't even know us. It really made me feel very loved. Kylee and Abby put a lot of time into making it so fun and special. Below are some pictures. I wish I had my nice camera to capture more of the details, they seriously went all out. At least to my eyes they did. Anyway, my heart is just so full of gratitude.
This is a fun game we played! I think everyone was talking so much that we kind of forgot to steal necklaces, but it was still really fun :)
They made me take one by myself... but isn't that table just decked out?
So, Kylee made my (and Cody's) favorite sugar cookies! And bless her heart, they turned out to be a bigger project than expected because the dough was REALLY sticky, but seriously they turned out perfect! And you can't see from the picture, but the cucumbers and peppers are even stamped out in cute little heart shapes. I'm still amazed :)
Look at al of those gifts! Wow!
This gift is a particularly special one. It is a JuJuBe Backpack/Diaper bag. It's quite expensive, but really good quality and will hopefully last throughout my kids. I want to get one for Kylee for her next baby!
I spent this whole morning getting everything set up so that I could take a picture of the many nice things we were given. Aren't the pictures cute? Kylee did that as well. She's amazing. I zoomed in on this picture because that little sailor outfit isn't actually a gift I got from the shower or anything, but it is an outfit that I wore when I was a baby. My mom saved it for me so I just had to throw it in there!
Lots of adorable clothes.
And here we have it... Teya's little space in our room. Now the clothes and everything are packed into the boxes and we may need to do some rearranging of furniture, but that can wait for a later date!
Just about 2 more weeks and then hopefully Teya will be here! We think she will be late because my mom and sisters are always late... but I'm really hoping and praying that she will come sooner rather than later... or at least on time :)
