It won't be long now! According to the "Countdown to My Birth" calendar we are at 33 weeks and 2 days, which means only 46 days until my due date, June 6. However, my doctor has informed me that I am technically full term at 38 weeks, which means she could come as early as May 23! I kind of wish he had not told me, because now I am sitting here expecting her to get here at the end of May. He also told us she could go as far as 42 weeks and still be completely healthy :(. I choose to ignore this because the thought of staying pregnant until June 20 makes me want to curl up in a ball and cry. And then I remember I cannot curl up in a ball anymore. I know, I know...I should just be enjoying the experience and all that. I really am trying. And, of course, I am not going to try to force her to come out until she is good and ready. I am just getting SO big and uncomfortable. But you guys don't want to hear about that, so moving on to the real reason for this post: my fabulous cousins threw me a baby shower last weekend and it was so lovely and fun it deserved a photo dump on el blogo (for my English speaking friends, that's the blog).
Note the pretty puffy flowers hanging from the ceiling. I am trying to incorporate the pink ones into the nursery decor.
Of course, I was a huge fan of the food table. The coconut brownies were a particular favorite.
Guest gifts: the envelopes had flower seeds in them. Adorable.
Games were played:
I had to choose the best rendition of a baby made out of play dough. These were the two finalists. I ended up going with the blue one because it showed extra creativity (sucking her thumb). Props to the runner-up though. It was very cute, although somewhat turtle-like.
Baby Girl was spoiled rotten! Look at all these gifts!
Then of course, the obligatory family shots:
The Yadaos... and
The Rammelsbergs. A slightly smaller group :). Baby Ramm was lucky to have her Grandma and Aunt come all the way to the Tri-Cities for the shower.
It was all around a great time. The Bambina is extremely spoiled. I can't wait for her to come out and meet her amazing family. Thanks so much to Michelle and Lesley (and the Aunties and Grandma) for putting on such a fun event.
Hey that was my turtle-like play dough creation! Thanks for the invite. I had fun. So excited for you two. Congrats!!!
