Baby Shower

Yesterday my parents hosted (another) baby shower for us...this time, it was BLUE. ; ) We had a very nice time! Some of our guests had not seen my belly...so I got alot of belly rubs, which is nice and feels good. I'm not one of those "picky" pregnant woman that don't like to be touched or rubbed...just as long as I know you. ; )

Here are some pictures of our day yesterday...enjoy!

We want to say a BIG "THANK YOU" to everyone that was there! We greatly appreciate your support and love. And for all the beautiful gifts that were given for our son/brother...THANKS!!

A big "Thank you" to the following people for making it extra special...
My parents (Carmen & Ed)...for hosting the baby shower and for everything else : )
My mom...for the (once again YUMMY!) cake
Annabel...for the chocolates
Isa...for the macaroni salad and the "YUMMY!" yucca casserole
Edna...for cutting all the fruit

We've waited a VERY long time for our family...and within less than a year, GOD has truly blessed us! I've said it before and I will say it again...these 2 children are OUR miracles!

GOD bless!!
