My lovely friend Katie hosted a baby shower for me on Saturday. It was great. I got to see lots of girlies that I don't get to see very often, including my mom. The spread was delicious - mimosas for the lucky ones who can indulge in such things (I'm not jealous at all...), and quiches, fruit & pastries.
We played the game where you have to measure the preggo's girth. Yeah. I have no idea so I guessed an astonishing 62". Not even close, thank goodness. If you're curious, Lauren got it right on the nose at 46". I'm really curious how much more I'll expand in the next weeks. Scary!
Then it was pressy time.
Mom, me & Alisha
Tons of sweet cards, most of which with penciled in corrections to make them twin-appropriate. :)
Beth, Janice & Heather, tying knots on a few baby blankets.Apparently they love that - the babies, not Beth & Janice. :)
Lauren & Caroline, looking cute and thin (damn them!)
Ooh, feel these blankets!
Heather & Katie had to feel too
Surrounded by presents!It was amazing. These babies are almost completely kitted out.
I really can't believe how generous everyone was (AGAIN!).
And I had to add a picture of the cake.The bakery perfectly matched it to Katie's shower invitations.
So cute and very tasty!
Mom and I spent much of Sunday sorting through and washing all of the absolutely adorable clothes, blankies, booties, mittens, pacifiers, and various baby gear with much ooh'ing and ahh'ing. We had a grand ol' time doing it.
But Lani's favorite is definitely the swing. Ha ha!

actually i do love tying knots. i went out after the shower and bought enough fabric to make 5 of those blankets for all my friends with babies! i've been tying knots all weekend!
OMG You are pregnant with twins and I think I still have more girth (afraid to get out the measuring tape and see). Curses to you skinny chicks!
And I think you did a FANTASTIC job on the bathroom! WTG with the home improvement handyness!
Ha ha! Drchik, I've never considered myself to be a "skinny chick" but thank you. :)
