Baby Shower


I had my first baby shower this past weekend. I was so thankful for the friends and family that made the effort to come on Saturday! Ben and I received lots of presents to help us start our family. Here are some pictures of the event.

A funny story about the dress I wore. The last time I wore it was two years ago at a wedding. I saw a very pregnant lady wearing the dress but it was NOT a maternity dress!! I was so embarassed (insert my nickname "queen of awkardness") that I refused to wear the dress again until I was pregnant. So I got my chance for the shower!

A quick picture of me and Ben at the shower. I made him make several "appearances" at the shower to say hi to our friends!





Me and Kelli! She is obsessed with baby shoes and gave me 3 or 4 pairs that she had collected over the years. I can't wait for our baby girl to meet Kelli. She is the sweetest soon to be 12th grader that you will ever meet. Plus, her mom (Nancy) was the photographer for the event. She takes great pictures! Thanks Nancy!
Mom and me! You can see just how pregnant I am getting... To reference an earlier blog post -- I do have an audi and made several people feel it just for fun!

The Barab girls. It could have been a family affair (minus Jeff who is traveling around the world right now) except that Dad HAD to see a museum that morning and consequently missed the shower. :)
We had five pregnant ladies at the shower! So we felt the need to document that. From left to right, Laura Krauss, Laura Matthews, me, Diana, and Stephanie. As you can tell, some are more pregnant than others!

Mom, Livy Anne, and Kate (Ben's sis). This is Livy Anne's token surprise face! She has been doing it for a few months now and it absolutely never gets old!

This is my new ALL-time favorite picture of Livy Anne. She is 17 months old now. People keep saying she looks so much like Whitney and me. I think she is the cutest! Plus baby girl Solomon has a playmate.
