Baby Shower!

So with baby day almost exactly one month away, some very thoughtful people in my life decided Marissa and I needed a baby shower. It was a laid-back luncheon in the park kind of affair and was very fun. Thanks go especially to my very thoughtful sister-in-law Lindsey and my fabulous mother-in-law Debi, as well as some great friends: Stacy, Beth, Cheri, Chelsea and others who helped out. I really appreciate it and it's nice for this baby to be celebrated and welcomed in such a loving way.

This is the cake that the ever-talented Stacy made. It tasted as good as it looked. Thanks Stacy!

One of the very cute centerpieces that Debi put together. I love that everything is so girly and springy!

A picture of some of the people who came all gathered in the shade.

Opening presents. Super-cute summer dresses seemed to be popular! Thanks again to everyone!

This picture is for a few of you who have asked to see a prego shot. It will be the only one ever posted. This is the belly at exactly one month and one day until my due date. It definitely looks bigger in real life, but I'm still feeling pretty good, sleeping pretty good and getting things done. We can't wait until little Marissa joins our family.
