baby showers galore.

i don't know if anyone else is feeling this way, but i feel like every woman i know is pregnant or JUST had a baby. it's so great. we counted and there are some-14-odd women in our ward who are having kiddos within the same 12 months. must be something in the water out here.

my good friend, heidi, JUST had her baby girl a few days ago! i cannot tell you how excited i am that she and i get to have little girls together (and that tom and i will finally be in the inner "we-have-kids" circle at church). she and i got a bit crazy and threw each other little baby showers. these are some of the photos from hers (and of course i didn't think to take photos of the actual party. preggo brain to the extreme).

and these are the two showers heidi and my dear friend, lexy, threw! they are both too thoughtful. this little bg is seriously already spoiled.

a lady in my ward makes these amazing cakes. oh, to have baking talent.

and the shower hosted by lex! she did too much - i'm not lying. like, i walked in with a diet coke and offered it to her and she looked at me and said, "oh yes! i didn't sleep last night." the woman knows how to host a MEAN party.

magleby's rolls, anyone?

nbd - just hand-stamped those and the napkins herself.

i died a little when i saw these. ALMOST too cute to eat. ALMOST.

and sister came to visit that weekend! i sure do love her. we got lots of projects for bg's nursery done. and we ate mexican food. and i almost passed out during my first non-stress-test at the doctor's. it was fantastic.

candied almonds? i'll take 5 - bags, that is.

the lovely hostess and some huge preggo lady.

we are so lucky to have so many friends and such a great family that are excited for this little girl. i can't tell you what a little miracle she is and how blessed we constantly feel that we finally get to be parents to a sweet (fingers crossed) little one. i figure we had such a journey getting here that she must be one serious angel baby.
