Getting ready for my nephew

We had the baby shower for my youngest sister on Sunday. She's due to have her first baby in 2 weeks. (Yeah, we waited kind of late for the baby shower, I KNOW! Spring Break and Easter kind of got in the way.) We're kind of lucky she hasn't gone in to labor yet, ha! Poor gal is getting all those nervous feelings of having the baby . . . getting everything ready . . . I wished we could have had the shower sooner for her, but it just didn't work out that way on the calendar.

So I borrowed a camera (mine is still broken) from my other sister and took some photos. These are my sisters, my sister-in-law is on the left end and my mom is on the other end. I am standing between my sister in the white jacket and my pregnant sis.
















Here is a view of some of the food:

































My mom did all of that (except the iced cookies). I think she should cater professionally.


Here is a diaper cake that one of my sisters made:

It was a lot of work, but it paid off in the end. Now I just get to wait it out and see what kind of adventure brings my new nephew into this world. I'm looking forward to holding him. And I'm looking forward to seeing my sister be a mommy! We need another one in the club.

Hi Reality Mama! :) Catching up on your posts a little bit today...I'm behind again and will try to comment individually later (I know I don't HAVE to comment all the time but I like too.) Anyway...the baby shower pics were great and you guys looked adorable! I'm sure it was worth all the effort and time you put into it! Great job! :)

Good old Mama Dodds...is anything she CAN'T do? And her beautiful, crafty daughters didn't fall far from the tree. Can I just say how seeing YOUR sibs all grown up makes ME feel old? They're not old enough to have babies!!! :)
