As far as Andrea and I can tell we are pretty close to being ready for baby. We have had some really fun showers and have very generous fiends and family!! We have gotten gift cards, diapers, wipes, handmade blankets, diapers, wipes, burp cloths, diapers, wipes, clothes, diapers, wipes... well you get the picture :-)

My string is the one hanging off the table.
Ok, so I guessed a little bigger than I should have....
I mentioned the "College Shower" in a previous post but didn't really go into detail. The college shower was a bunch of Andrea's friends from college and the friends we have made through that group, it could have also been called the volleyball shower. It was at a park in Chapel Hill and was also co-ed. We cooked out and played some games, like guess the celebrity mommy and then played a water balloon toss game, which was just the primer to the water balloon fight! It was very enjoyable and the water balloon fight made all the guys who said baby showers were dumb eat their words... I think.
The Baby Toss Game... aka water balloon toss.
Andrea just caught and exploded a water balloon
in her face... she was soaked!
The simple joys of Helium.
The "Family Shower" was held at Eno River State Park (aka my office). We cooked out at a picnic shelter and played a few games. My family apparently is not good at guessing belly circumference, as we were all too long. We had two tables full of gifts which was incredible!! There were also quite a few mommies at this shower so we got advice and gifts that have personal experience behind them, which was very nice. Gifts like a remote control music playing car mirror (so you can push a button to entertain baby instead of reaching around and wrecking your car) to a device to turn anything into a bib (think kid friendly version of the alligator clips and chain used at a dentist office).

I put a bunch of pictures from the family shower and my parents visit in the album below...

It's always fun to play the baby toss game. I play it all the time with my youngest and so far he hasn't broken.
