On September 28, My sisters (Tracie, Kerrie and Chanda), my Mom and my Aunt Mary hosted a baby shower for me at the Reagin House in Forney. They did a great job with all of the food and decorations! I had a great time seeing the family and friends that were able to make it out. Here are some pictures from the shower.
Here is a picture of me at 28 weeks.
Some of the decorations:
Isn't the cake so cute?!
This is a plaque my sister had made for Karlie's room. I saw this poem in Greune this Summer at a store and started crying. I told Tracie and Aunt Mary that I didn't care what else went in her room as long as I had that. So they found someone in Canton to make it for me. I LOVE IT!
Aunt Mary made this box and the cards that were blessings for Karlie. After the shower I sat down and read them all! They were very sweet and I got in a good cry reading them.
