Jessica's Baby Shower

For those of you who don't know, one of my best friends, Jessica, is also pregnant! She's about 8 weeks ahead of me and is expecting a little boy:) Last weekend I had the pleasure of attending her baby shower. We live two hours apart, and the fact that we don't get to really experience being pregnant together is a bummer, so this trip was nice to catch up. We made sure to get together the night before the shower to get some one-on-one time.

For the shower, I made a diaper cake. I've been wanting to make one for the longest time! For those of you who don't know, a diaper cake is NOT a diaper shaped cake, but rather a tiered cake made of diapers. Just thought I'd clear that up since I had to explain it to Chris:)

It's funny to see how differently Jessica and I are carrying our babies. She is carrying him low, and I'm really high. This lead to the unanimous conclusion among the women at the shower that I am having a girl?? I certainly don't believe in all those old wives tales, but my mom said that my sister and I we both really high and my brother was practically between her legs. So, we'll just have to see:)

4-D Video Footage

Here is some 4-D video footage of our baby. It's so sweet! It looks like they're going to be a thumbsucker. Not a great thing in my opinion, but my mom insists that it's a sign that the baby will be a good nurser:) Chris and I both have an inkling that it's a boy, but about half the people who see it think it's a girl. And don't try to figure it out either. Both our mothers are nurses and experienced at looking at ultrasounds and neither of them could see what it is, so DON'T EVEN TRY IT!!
