Celebrating Baby Boy #3

My Aunt Vickie and cousin Brittany gave me a baby shower today to honor Baby #3. I was hesitant to have a shower since this is my third baby boy and only a year after Preston. I like the idea of celebrating each baby but didn't want people to think I was asking for gifts. However, they insisted and I gave in. I made sure to keep it small and only invited a few close friends, family and girls from my bible class at church.

I received a few gift cards to Target and Walmart, diapers and wipes, some essential bedding for a 2nd crib (mattress pad and sheet), and a new floppy (needed when you have 2 kiddos in high chairs at the same time). My other cousin, Brandi, also made me a few burp clothes that are super cute. Brittany made me two scrap books. One is for teddy bear pictures and another one is to mark the milestones of his first year. She did the same for Preston and I know she puts a lot of time, effort and love into it. Aunt Vickie gave me a new bear to take Baby's picture every month and the bear is huge! Both Carter and Preston have had a great time playing with the bear today.

I don't have any pictures yet but will post some after Brittany emails some over to me. They did such a great job and it was great to see Brittany's new house. She made cupcakes and had the best lemonade, which is one of my weaknesses right now. The day was a lot of fun and very much appreciated.
