Baby Shower Time!

Today marks week 32 of pregnancy! To celebrate this mile-marker, my dear friend Alisa, along with my mother-in-law and cousins, hosted a very special baby shower for Ken and me.

Thank you to our friends and family (near and far) who blessed us with oodles of adorable baby outfits, bedding for the crib, lots of diapers, baby bathtubs and shower products, a carseat (!), toys, words of encouragement, books, and delicious food! We also got a kick out of the more creative presents. For example, the bottle of tequila and earplugs gifted to Ken, and the massage certificates given to me.

It was incredibly fun having a co-ed baby shower, particularly when the guys had to play a "what's in the diaper" guessing game.

On a separate note, I would have to say that things started to get a little dicey when Ken's mom brought out the large, present-shaped piñata. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Ken swinging a makeshift bat - blindfolded and disoriented - whilst in the downstairs living room of cousin Kim's house. Yes, there were children present, and yes, we totally broke the piñata open. Thank you again to Ken's mom for sponsoring this activity. It was awesome.

Baby girl is already so loved by her community, and we are excited to greet her in the next 8 weeks (depending on when she makes her debut.)

Here are some photos of the day’s festivities.

Again, thank you all so much for blessing us in this way!
