Well this post is out of order but wanted to post some pics of my two baby showers. Thanks to my mother here are some to show all the fun we had!
FRIEND BABY SHOWER APRIL 9TH
My friend Pauletta flew in from San Francisco to help head up this shower for me with many of my other friends. We used her sister's house in Magnolia which is gorgeous and has an awesome view of down town seattle. It was a great turn out. I felt like I didn't get a chance to talk with everyone but it was fun to have everyone all there at once! I had two friends who flew in and couple who drove a decent distance just to come for my shower! I love my friends!
Part of the old Swedish Clan: Me, Leah, Jennifer
More of the old Swedish Clan who all left me: Kelley & Erin
Just one of the gorgeous views from Pauletta's sister's (Dani) back deck!
That is one expensive view!
How large is my belly Leah? Wow how fat do you think I am?
Pretty close!
Of course Pauletta needs to grab me inappropriately!!
Did you win Jen?
Everyone hanging out watching me open up presents: Jennifer, Kelley, Lisa, & Robin.
My High School crew: Jenelle, Becky, Ingrid, Kara, Erin, Kristin.
Wow Becky I love the handmade quilt! I love the colors too! I can't wait to use it.
I love my crafty friends! Awesome job Erin on the hat and matching booties! Braden is so lucky!
Ingrid and me
Cute outfit Leah...now he's all ready for church!
The whole gang together again since at least a year! Leah, Kelley, Erin, Me, Pauletta, & Jen.
All my Swedish girls: Dayla, Leah, Kelley, Erin, Alison, Pauletta, Lisa, & Jen
My mother and me!
Awww...so glad we didn't get my feet in this photo! I actually look pretty good which I don't say often about myself!
FAMILY BABY SHOWER: APRIL 10TH
My sister had the privilege of planning this shower for me. I promised her there wouldn't be another big party that she would be responsible for next year at this same time. Last year it was my bridal shower. I guess next year it will be Braden's one year birthday that I will be responsible for!
My cousin Terri & second cousin Stephanie with her first boy, Landon. Nannie is getting a chance to hold him before he squirms around.
Landon is checking out his Great Great Grandmother!
Had to get a picture with the party hostess with the mostest!!! My sister always knows how to throw a good party with good food. We never go home hungry!
I'm glad Megan's mother-in-law, Bette, has been in town last two years to help throw these parties. She's a hard working and I know my sister appreciates her help!
Party goers! Cameron, cousin Missy, Makenna, Grandma Ann, Aunt Shirley, and Bette.
Aunt Shirley's handmade crocheted blanket for Braden. I know her grandkids love there's so we'll see which blanket he picks out as his favorite!
I can't believe Makenna is sitting down and not helping me open up presents!
My brother-in-law, Steve, had to get Braden some Broncos fan attire since he is originally from Denver Colorado! Had to laugh, Cameron said he'd be a Broncos fan now from the start!
Cameron was my present helper. I greatly appreciated someone standing in my corner with me so I wasn't completely by myself.
The Craft girls: Megan, Alison, & Jacquie
Mom and her two beautiful girls: You did a good job mom!
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED IN THESE TWO PARTIES. IT WAS FUN! BRADEN IS SO LUCKY!
You sure do have a whole lot of loved-ones! How blessed! Now to get that boy here so you can start enjoying him and feeling better! Bedrest stinks! Hope you're still doing well.
