Full term and a diaper shower

This past Saturday, two close friends threw a diaper shower for myself and my other friend (also named Rachel).  We are due within a week of each other, and work in the primary together, so, it made perfect sense!  We were so blessed with so many people coming!  I am a pretty traditional person--I wasn't expecting a shower at all since this is our second boy.  This little guy was definitely showered with love.  And I absolutely LOVED spending time with my sister (who came up for the shower) and so many close, kind friends.  I think being in the church makes it so much easier to be in the military.  We've been in two areas so far that that AF has sent us, and each ward has been fantastic.  It really is about the support and people!

 The spread of yummy food and the diaper cakes.

 All of our friends.

 Another shot of Rachel and I opening up gifts.

 Rachel is seriously so cute. I love her very obvious pregnant belly.

Me opening up a couple of gifts.  Not the best shot...

All the stuff I got... My mom sent the quilt and my awesome sis bought me the cute diaper bag and several shirts for the spoiled boy.

A closer look at the diaper cake.  Evan seriously loved the sock monkey.  We may have to get one just for him so he doesn't steal it from little brother!

 I made this jewelry as a thank you gift for one of the hostesses, Tara.

And this jewelry set for the other hostess, Amy. 

On another note, this Sunday marked my success at getting to the 37 week mark in pregnancy aka FULL TERM!  Why is this so momentous?  Well, because this child hasn't given me any issues at all, while his big brother wanted to come at 30 weeks!  I am so thankful that I didn't have to deal with bed rest with a two-year old.  Maybe that means that my second boy will be a bit more cooperative and obedient than the first one?  We shall see...

And, a picture of Evan wearing Rick's hiking backpack.  Love this kid, he loves wearing daddy's stuff!
