Showered!

On Saturday, we had our second of three baby showers!

They really went all out with our theme.  There was black, green, white, polka dots, and penguins everywhere!

Our amazing friends Gretchen and Colleen (who has the PERFECT party house!) were our amazing hostesses.

My best friend and college roommate, Anna, flew in from Minnesota for the weekend to celebrate with us.  We had such a good time, especially on Friday when we pampered ourselves with coffee, pedicures, fancy lunch at the golf course, and a night out at the bar with some friends from church.

Of course there was a mountain of gifts that just left us feeling so grateful.

There were men and women and coworkers and friends and babies..oh my!

We played the "try to cut a piece of string the size of Nicole's belly" game.  Lucas won, but my co-worker Dan used Pastor Kirby's belly to gauge his guess and it was almost exactly the right size.  I thought it was hilarious!

Addi and Rachel checked out our new gigantic stuffed penguin.  Luckily, it's not even close to as large as the giraffe we bought for Gretchen and Ryan when Addi was born.

We were REALLY excited that the highchair we registered for had come out in a new model...with PENGUINS!!!

Jon got a really sweet print about Daddy's to hang on the wall in the nursery from his BF Ryan and Addi tried out the Baby's new rocking chair.  It's ADORABLE!

I just can't really comprehend all the loving, Seattle "family" we have accumulated in such a short time.  We are truly  happy and feel so lucky and loved.  Thanks to everyone who helped us prepare for Baby V.  We are so grateful.  33 weeks...7 to go???  Maybe?
