Baby Shower & 35 Weeks!

I had an amazing baby shower two Saturdays ago. It was so nice to see everyone who came, visit a little, and enjoy the beautiful weather. Angie Bristow was kind enough to host it at her lovely home on Utah Lake, and my mom and mother-in-law did a great job of planning the perfect party! We had fantastic food and a great turnout. We are so grateful for everyone's generosity! Our little baby girl has more than she needs for her first few months. Here are some pics from the party:
Angie and her daughter, Katie, who were such awesome hostesses!
Chicken salad croissants, desserts, and a chocolate fountain - yummy!I had a great time visiting with everyone (left to right): Shanna, Diana, Jacki, and Ricki. Ricki and I were discussing baby names.So many adorable gifts - outfits, blankets, socks, toys, diapers, baby care items, and more... thanks to everyone!Here's the baby's crib quilt that Cornell and I designed and had his aunt Nyla's skillful help putting together. You can kind of see the crib bumper below in this photo. I'll post a crib picture soon, so you can see what it looks like all together. Nyla is finishing the quilt now and it will look so great in the nursery.Saunders girls from left to right: My cousin Julie, aunt Ann, aunt Sal, me, my Mom Bonnie, and cousin Shanna.

Oh, and here's another belly shot from today - I'm about 35 weeks now. This geometric shirt really makes me look enormous (LOL) Oh well, that's how I feel.
I have an ultrasound scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 13 to see how big she is and start checking more closely on my progress. After all this time, it's really almost here!
