Here is a picture of our oldest and our second daughter out at Hell's gate state park where we headed for the evening after the shower. We had a camp fire and smores, like we needed more sugar. Sig is due in late August.
Here are Sig and B. B is due August 3rd but they think baby will come early as it is measuring larger and lungs more developed. Sig has heels on as B is much taller. All three of the girls have red in their hair, well except Sig who is a red head and B died the end of her hair blue to bug her mother who hates that kind of thing.
We had a great time at the shower. Lots of old family friends and I was surprised to realize how many are in the health care professions. At least 1/2. We had a lot of laughs.
Here is B with the 100 bill Aunty Kay sent.
Sig with her Aunty Kay diaper money!
All the yummy food and loads of gifts, it was embarrassing the girls received so much. |
Cake pops, dipped strawberries and mock tale punches, yum |
Look at these beautiful peonies someone brought the girls., I love peonies.
Me getting ready to go to the shower, I am already tired and it has not even started! |
I was touched by the turn out and by the generosity of friends. We had a good laugh over the fact that Sig (D#2) has never had any celebration of her own. As the middle child she always had to share her big days with some one else. There are quite a few years in age between the girls. The oldest was able to graduate from High school and college and then when Sig graduated from High school the eldest graduated from Law School, so she was well over shadowed a bit. Then when Sig graduated from her dental program which was a 5 year degree, the baby B graduated from High school, so she shared that. When Sig had her first baby the eldest was having her last baby so they shared that celebration and now Sig is having her second and she has to share with B who is having her first. She just never gets anything of her own, but all the girls just love each other and they really don't care. They just laugh about it.
To say that I am wiped out is an understatement. Having company for 4 days is rough on this old woman. There is a ton of laundry, sheets, blankets, towels to wash. It is raining hard all week so I cannot dry anything outside and will have to make several trips to Lil sis's.
I have plenty of sewing to get done today and everything is picked up so if I want more money I had better get to work!
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
