The shower with my sisters and friends was held at Kim's house. Brenna, Chauncy, Michelle, my mom, Lindsay, Kim, Kirty and Lauren came. The girls did a really nice job of preparing cute foods and decorations. It was just really nice to be with my favorite people. It was really relaxed, even though not everyone knew each other very well. Afterwards, I was so overwhelmed with gratefulness for all of them and that they would take time and effort to do that for me.
The shower in Yakima was last weekend. Joel came to the shower with me since he knows the ladies better than I do. The night before the shower, Laurie Kanyer gave me a Pandora charm bracelet with a little baby boy charm. I love it! At the shower, we had a really nice lunch and then the ladies all said a prayer for us. I told them that I wished I could have recorded the prayer. It was very touching and relaxing. I wish I could listen to it over and over while I'm in labor! All of these women are so strong and had such good advice. I felt so surrounded by love and support. Such a great feeling! The day after, I was driving to work listening to music, thinking about the prayer and I couldn't stop crying! They were happy tears, of course.
I just wanted to document some of the feelings I had, because I know those can fade sometimes :)
