Pregnancy and Baby Showers...

I had no idea being pregnant would be as wonderful as it was. I loved being pregnant, of course that is probably because I was never sick and other than being tired at times, I felt great. I was a very happy prego. I remember the first time I knew for sure I was feeling Chance moving around. I was overwhelmed with emotion, that was probably the most incredible feeling I have ever felt. As I got further into the pregnancy I would just sit back in my chair and watch the show he put on in my belly. He had the hiccups a lot and several times I would get them too. I loved going to the doctors for peeks at him through the sonogram or just listening to his heartbeat at my regular appointments. This baby boy for the first time in my life showed me what pure true joy was. On one hand I could not wait to meet him but on the other I loved having him all to myself and with me all the time.



September brought the baby shower. My sister Renee and Ms. Cass had a very nice "family style" baby shower at the Ferndale Club for me. The theme was Mexican food. I love Mexican food so I was pretty excited. There were tons of presents for the baby. Chance was given over 60 outfits! Gifts came from far and near. Some were shipped from Nevada, West Virginia, Tennessee, California and Arizona. It was amazing to have so many people celebrating my little man. There was even a margarita fountain (I really wanted a margarita) but Penny hooked me up with virgin margaritas not the same but good! I am still not completely on board with the family style shower but it was an awesome day. Thank you to all who came or sent their love.
