In My Mind I'm Goin' to Carolina...

Last weekend Dave and I made a trip out to Sparkle City for my fam to see "Big Momma" in real life. Let's just say there was a lot of open mouth stares of unbelief. I can't blame them really. I had a fantastic shower by my mom and sis in laws. We all had a blast. It was great to get together with family and friends that I just don't get to see enough. Being so big and prego we didn't do much that weekend but just had a fun time hangin out. My mom and I (well, I supervised) made some really cute baby headbands. Other than that we ate and lounged around which happens to be my two favorite things to do. It was soooo nice to be home and be pampered by my family who was horrified by my swollen feet, hands, face... well everything.

I gave someone this identical dress at a shower a few weeks ago and it almost killed me to give that cute dress away. I was so excited when I got this dress for my very own!
Horrible pic of me with my eyes closed but, I had to show this adorable name plaque my sis in law Lindsay made. I was really hoping to get one of her amazing crafts. She didn't disappoint. It's too cute!!
My amazing sis in law Kim had this beautiful blanket made for Mia and gave me some of the cutest books I've ever seen. She was super sick so she couldn't make it to the shower but her daughter Jessica and soon to be daughter in law Elizabeth made and brought a TON of food for the shower. Those are my kind of girls!!


My cousin's wife Tiffany came to my shower and she is due one day before me. Yes I wanted to physically harm her that she looks so great and I some how look like a giant triangle stomach. She might be the most gorgeous prego I've ever seen.

My aunt is cracking up in the background because we are the queens of inside jokes. I opened this light saber at my shower and almost pee'd my pants I was laughing so hard. No one else at the shower had any idea why we were laughing so hard but we got a HUGE kick out of it. Everyone wanted to know the inside joke but we'll take it to our graves!! The funniest thing was I almost bought her the same thing. We are two peas in a pod!!

Brook...I am totally not lying, but you and your cousin look the same! Your just shorter! The picture looks good. However, you can't mention an inside joke and not explain...that is horrible :) Thanks so much for the headbands...your mom is awesome to have done those!

I so wish I could have been to your shower! I'm glad you had a wonderful time! I think you a a beautiful, lovely "pregnant woman"! You look every bit as wonderful as your cousin! It just always seems you are bigger than you really look! At least your at the tail end of the most uncomfortable part! I'm just starting!
