Third Baby Shower

Today was my third baby shower. This one was at Jess’ house and was with Michael’s family, including my mom and grandma. When I arrived, I was very impressed how much Jess took our nickname of Emma and incorporated it into the shower. For instance, there were party favors of a pea pod filled with candy, there were melon balls lined up on the peel, and the cake had a pea pod on it. She also had my favorite foods there (chicken salad sandwiches, spinach artichoke dip, and buffalo chicken dip). Everything was great!

We played the toilet paper game, where you guess how many squares it would take to wrap around my belly. The total was 12 and I won! I swear I didn’t know ahead of time that that was the number. Michael’s cousin also guessed the same number so she won a gift (Sweet Pea samples from Bath and Body Works). Jess is so creative!

I then opened all the presents; the majority from your grandmas. They are spoiling you rotten and you aren’t even here yet! I got a lot of clothes, safety items, and some bath items. Michael and I appreciate all the gifts we have been given; we honestly didn’t expect to get as much as we had, but we are very thankful for our friends and family for helping us prepare as we get closer by the day to meeting our daughter. I appreciate how thoughtful and creative Jess was in planning the baby shower. I can’t wait to plan future play dates and events with her for us and our children.
