Here is the 1st shower. I'm in a Life Group through my church, and a couple of weeks ago they surprised me and Jeremy with a baby shower. One of our members, Jenna, made that beautiful cake herself. That last one with Jeremy looking so stoic is from a game we played where the men had to stuff their shirts with balloons and then bend over to tie their shoes without popping the balloons. Quite a hoot! (Sidenote, in case my mother reads this: this was a surprise shower, so I wasn't exactly dressed for success. I wouldn't normally wear a white t-shirt and a pony tail to a baby shower!) :-)
I'll pace myself and post pictures from the other showers later.
This past Monday night I noticed for the very first time that my feet and ankles are swelling! Yuck! I was hoping to avoid that unattractive part of being pregnant, but alas, no. I was walking home from Life Group (it's just a few blocks from our house) and I kept thinking that my legs were really tired and achy, as if I'd just run a marathon or something. When I got home, about 30 minutes later I happened to look at my bare feet, and Holy Cow! They were all puffy. Today's Wednesday and they're not back to normal, so I'm guessing I'll have 10 more weeks of this. Lovely.

haha, i like how you included the little side note for your mom. :)
btw, i don't know if it actually helped or was a coincidence, but my doctor told me i should drink a gallon (yes, a gallon) of water a day when i was at the end of my pregnancy. of course the end of my pregnancy was july and august when it was literally 100 degrees everyday. anyway, i actually did drink a gallon of water everyday and although i stayed in the bathroom about every 10 minutes i never had problems with swelling.
TeeHee. Your mother did read this. In spite of all my "lady lessons," you still are a little tomboy. (And I love you for it!)
