On Saturday, I (with lots of help from my mom and two of Hilary's friends) threw a baby shower for Hilary. She is due about two weeks after me. We have really enjoyed being pregnant together! But Saturday was all about her. Here are a few pics.
One of her friends made her a diaper cake. So cute!
Hungry pregnant lady.
Hilary. . . somewhere under the rainbow. (The shower had a Noah's ark theme.)
We had the shower at Hilary's house. And it was a full house! I think we had about 28 people there.
Opening gifts.
Everyone loves little bitty baby shoes.
Jim arrived with Lena at the end of the party and she snuck into a picture with Aunt Hilary.
She got to hold a 17 day old baby. She is the daughter of Scott's cousin. Lena loved the baby; that's good!

As one of the party games, each guest had to draw a baby on a paper plate with their eyes closed. The results were pretty funny! This was the winner, from Hilary's friend Lynn.
This was mine. It's a baby laying on his back. It must not be too bad, because when Lena saw it, she said, "Baby night-night."
Just for fun, Jim did one when he got there. No comment on the supposed "arm" on the right!

The shower was lots of fun and Hilary got some neat stuff in preparation for her little guy. That will probably be our last trip to Indiana before our baby comes, barring any emergencies. With my hip bothering me so much, riding in the car and being away from home overnight are becoming increasingly difficult for me. But, in only 5 weeks (and one day!) I will no longer be pregnant and can have my body back!
With the shower done, I am now able to focus on getting our house ready for Baby Girl. We are going to switch bedrooms since the girls have to share and our current bedroom is bigger. We are also painting both rooms. It will be a lot of work, but it will be worth it to have everything in order for baby's arrival.
