1st Shower

Hey lovies and new lovies from ICLW!  I hope your weekend is going great.  Yesterday, we had a family shower/cookout with my mom's side of the family.  This is the 1st of 3 showers.  We are very lucky and very appreciative of the people in our lives that want to do this for us and our little bun in the oven.  We had a lot of fun.  We played Nursery Rhyme Jeopardy (guys vs. girls).  Guys won.  I seriously need to start reading Nursery Rhymes.  Then we played who could drink the most from the bottle in 2 min. Hilarious.

The shower was given by my cousins' wives and they did a great job!  Instead of cards, everyone was asked to bring a book for Ava's library.  This is so exciting for me because I LOVE to read!  I AWAYS have a book with me.  Even if I am standing in line somewhere I will get a page or two read.  She got some oldies, but goodies and some that are new to us.

(PSA:  I found out yesterday that Dolly Parton, yes Dolly, has a program that you can sign your child up to recieve a new book every month until they start kindergarten.  Here is the link.)  We got a lot of so cute outfits and my mom and dad brought a pack of diapers.  What's so great about that?  Well, my parents have been buying a a pack of diapers for EVERY WEEK we have been pregnant.  Yes, you read that right, we already have 30 weeks worth of diapers.

Now I will leave you with some pictures.

We got a cute neck rest for her head in the carseat.  It's a pink dog. (I'm excited, apparently!)

Purple dresses with a sweet cardigan!

Great aunt and 2nd cousin.  There are 5 generations on my Great Aunt's side of her family.  That's amazing to me.
