Baby Shower #2 at Lindsay’s House March 2, 2008
My second baby shower was thrown on Saturday, March 1 at Lindsay’s house by Mom and my sister. Lindsay invited all of my girlfriends to this shower, and we had a great turn out.
It was a neat shower because there were friends from elementary school (Audrey Fraizier Perrott), friends from college (including my roommates, Stefanie and Audra, who came in from out of town), lots of THETAS and people I have known only a few month but have already gotten very close to (Deborah, Lori & Jaclyn). I think there were 21 women total in attendance, and I LOVED seeing all of those friends from different aspects of my life together in one place!!!!
My sister’s house looked super cute, all done up in pink! And I think everyone had a great time. Once again, little Kendal made out like a little bandit as my friends were overly generous with their love and gifts for our baby girl.
We played a couple of cute games at the shower. First up, Lindsay asked everyone to bring diapers for Kendal in varying sizes and I drew a name for a winner. Kelly Burrington won a basket of Bath and Body Works.
Then Lindsay had this plastic “ribbon” (it was like caution tape) that said “How big is Mommy, How Big is Baby.” Each person was to cut off a strip that they thought would fit around my belly. I laughed so hard during this. Some people (like Emily) apparently thought I was huge! I think Lori and I both could have fit in some of the strips with room to spare. Ultimately, Lori, Audrey and Mandy were the closest with Mandy taking the prize dead on! Check out the pictures of everyone trying their ribbon around me!
Finally, Lindsay had everyone guess how big I was when I was born. Michelle Glass was closest by an oz! I was 8.4 lbs when I was born. (I am hoping Kendal is in the 7lbs range when she arrives!)
While I opened the gifts, Shirley’s little girl Ariani (who is almost 3) was my personal helper! She helped hand me gifts and open them. While she was shy at first, by the end she was so into opening the gifts I barley had time to see them!! It was too cute! Thanks for the help Ari!
I am SO glad little Kendal didn’t come too early yet because I would have hated to miss this special time. Thanks to everyone who came from near and far!!!
