The Baby Cox News: My First Baby Shower

On Sunday, I drove up to Washington to attend my first baby shower. Abbey and SuAnne threw it for me at SuAnne's house. They went above and beyond what they should have done! Everything went along with the pink and brown theme. It was adorable! I enjoyed seeing all of my high school friends, some of their moms, one college friend, and many of my mom's friends. My Aunt Jil and cousin Tracy attended as well. I hadn't seen Tracy since her wedding in October. It was so fun to catch up with them. I feel little less anxious and stressed now that we have received some necessary items for our baby. We received our pack-n-play, diaper champ, bath stuff, gift cards, stuffed animals, and many clothing items. I think our daughter is going to the best dressed girl in Champaign.:) Abbey and SuAnne asked that people bring books instead of cards. So, we received many books. All of the books are signed by the person who gave them to us. I thought this was a neat idea! Now our book shelf is full of wonderful books for little girl to read. In addition to these items, my Aunt Jil spoiled us with homemade items for our nursery. She made us pink and brown curtains, pillows, and a pink and brown chair cover. Once I have it all set up in her room, I will post pictures. My description will not even begin to describe how cute everything is.
Both of my sisters and my mom were able to attend my shower too. I was glad that they were all there to share the experience with me. Kelsy won the shower game! It was the game that you have to guess what kind of baby food is in the container and what types of candy bars are in the diapers. Kacy was gagging as we were playing this game, but Kels did a great job.
I'm so thankful to have such wonderful friends and family. I don't know what I would do without these people. We are very blessed! I hate being the center of attention, so I hope I showed how thankful I was that everyone attended the shower for me! :)
Right now, I am 33 weeks! We have a doctor's appointment later today. I'm not going to post belly pics. this week because I have so many I am posting from the shower. As you can see in the pictures, my stomach is growing. I find myself walking past things and hitting my stomach alot! I guess I haven't realized how big my stomach is because I keep trying to fit into spaces that I can't fit into! I'm really enjoying being pregnant. I know I am going to miss feeling her move once she is here.
Okay, I am finally done with this post! Here are the pictures from the shower...
