Lindsey's Baby Shower

  I was very happy that I was able to go to Lindsey's baby shower yesterday in Gainesville to celebrate baby #3's arrival next month! Her first baby shower (for Luke) was when she was living in California, I believe the same year we lived there, but we were still living 5 hours apart and I wasn't able to make the trip. Last time her shower (for Logan) was a weekend I was working, but I was really happy she was able to come to mine for Emma in April 2017. (Also part 2 of mine with pictures with Lindsey, who was my pregnancy twin, --> here!)
   Lindsey's shower was hosted by Camila, a friend from church. She was so kind to host the party in her really pretty home and had cute baby related decorations and an awesome brunch spread set out!

    The sprinkle donuts were a definite favorite for all the kids!

 That wreath on the door is also made out of diapers, not white roses like I thought! So no, Camilla does not keep that wreath up all of the time ~ Ha! Lindsey with her three boys. :)

 
 To add a fun game to the gift opening, Camilla had printed out a bunch of questions for Lindsey to answer and taped one to each gift that she had to answer before opening it. I thought that was a fun idea. Some of the questions were: What craving has been the strongest during your pregnancy? (She said club soda.) What do you think will be the best and hardest things about having three kids? (Best: seeing them get along and play together. Hardest: being outnumbered.) What trait of yours do you hope the baby doesn't get? (Luke answered that one and he said, "I hope the baby doesn't yell at me like you do." Everyone laughed because we all know Lindsey is a kind, patient, and wonderful mom. Even when she is 36 weeks pregnant!) What trait do you hope the baby gets from your husband? (That he can laugh about things easily.)

    I was really happy to see that Lindsey mostly got diapers and wipes, which is what she needs most. On her invitation she even had a cute poem explaining that. "Big brothers have plenty to share. It's just a sprinkle to show that we care! Not much is needed, the basics will do. Like diapers, wipes, and an outfit or two." Michael and I got her crib sheets which she did also ask for.

When the mom asked her daughter if she wanted to help put all of the presents into Lindsey's car, she immediately said, "Yes!" and quickly put her shoes on. I hope she always keeps that helpful quality. It was so nice to see. She was also the one to hand Lindsey each present after the one before had been opened.
