Baby Showers

Our baby (and Jason & I) has been blessed to have 2 baby showers thrown for him/her! It was good to see everyone since we hadn't been able to see many of the people who attended for quite a while and we got lots of things that we will be using before long! We didn't have anything and now thanks to our awesome friends & family we are ready for the baby...we have a lot of stuff in the room anyway. Thanks to everyone who was able to make it or sent gifts- they are all appreciated!! Due to a camera that doesn't always cooperate my pictures are limited from these events.

Our first shower was back in April (I know I am slow). Jessi, did an awesome job of putting this shower on and we had a great cake made by Kayla- yum! Stephanie was going to take pictures for me, but she didn't get any :(...because my batteries were dead. We got tons of gifts, including a pack-n-play, our diaper bag, a baby carrier, bouncy seat, some toys, and lots of diapers & wipes. At the end of the shower, guests had to decorate a onesie for the baby before the got a piece of cake so we got some really cool homemade onesies too. They were different sizes so we will be able to display the guests’ work for a while!

Our second shower was put on by Megan & Leslie a couple of weeks ago. Again, they did an awesome job and the cake was delicious, made by Megan herself. I did get a few pictures from this shower, but they didn't turn out the best so I'm only posting a few. Anyway, lots of great gifts again, instead of a card many guests brought a book to help start a library for Baby Pollard so we got a number of books, our travel system, high chair, toys, more diapers & wipes, blankets, and clothes. Everyone got to play a game where they reached in to a paper sack, felt the object (baby related), and guessed what the object was. At the end I got to do this in front of everyone, I actually surprised myself and knew quite a few of them.

The sheep cake Megan made, super cute!

Thanks Jessi, Megan, & Leslie! We have all of the baby things back in the baby's room and it actually feels like we are getting closer to being ready, we better be I guess! Leslie is letting us use the baby bed and changing table her kids used and I'm sure once we get it put together it will look great and I will share pictures, but for now it is boxed up in the garage. Trust me; it is on our list of things to get done and getting closer to the top! It’s not June yet- I know it will be tomorrow!
