2011: The year of the baby

Holy cow do I have a lot of pregnant friends!

Here is a list of my family and friends (off the top of my head) who are currently pregnant or just gave birth this year:

My favorite cousin Jen (she and I are 2 weeks apart in age): Gave birth to Rylan in April.
Liz Myers Gleason: Twin girls due in July.
Lacy Rieger Akkerman: Baby boy due in August
My cousin Tarah: Baby girl due in September.
Megan Hartwig Williams: Baby girl due in late October/Early November.
Maegan Manning McNeely: Baby boy due in October.
Christy Meyer-Litchfield: Baby ? due in November (Update: BABY BOY!!)
Me: Due in December!

And those are just the girls that I'm close to! It seems like everyone is having babies and what a blessing it is to have so many pregnant friends right now. :)

For the past 5 days I've been in Longview visiting my folks, seeing friends, and I also got the honor of co-hosting my dear friend Lacy's baby shower. Lacy and I have been friends since 3rd grade and I love that we can go months without talking and pick up just like we saw each other yesterday. Luckily we're usually in touch a little more than that. Lacy's baby shower was so cute and she was literally showered with gifts - more presents than I've ever seen at one given time! How wonderful to prepare for the arrival of sweet little Camden Drew Akkerman. :)

Here are some pics from this weekend:


Lacy's cake - it was an "All Star" sports theme - so cute!

Pregnant friends!

Daddy caught me laughing - Abby, Jen, and me after dinner.

Me and Baby Rylan. He was so good, except for right here. He got a little fussy because his bottle wasn't coming fast enough. :)

Me and Ms. Abby, my God daughter. She's so funny!
