Last Friday after work I headed up to American Fork to go to my first baby shower at the Olive Garden there. I was so excited! All of the wonderful women that I worked with at Riverton were so excited that I am finally pregnant that they wanted to throw me a shower. It had to be done early before school got out and we all went different places for the summer, which is why I had a shower at 28 weeks. Anyway, I got some really cute outfits, an adorable swimsuit, some baby books, and this Snoopy quilt. Jared likes the Snoopy quilt. Deanne, the lady who made it, apologized that it was blue, not pink, but I think it's perfect! I was also way excited because Jamie's daughter made me a diaper cake. There are ninety four diapers in this cake! It's not only a great centerpiece, but very practical and useful, too. I took a picture of the center layer so you crafty folks could see how to put it together. All the diapers are just rolled in a big circle then wrapped with ribbon; nothing else holding it together!
Also, everyone from the Special Ed department at Riverton pitched in and got me this Baby Einstein exercise saucer. I'm so excited for Kaitlyn to play with it, although I know she won't be able to until she's around six months. Jared is making me keep it in the box until then, so you just get the picture off the website. Thank you to everyone who made the shower so special, I had a blast: Jamie, Georgia, Susan, Deanne, and Jeanie.
When I got home from the shower, I found that the carseat Jared's mom had got for us had arrived. I immediately opened it, read the manual, and then went and installed it in the car (where is still resides). Jared laughs at me but indulges me in the trucking of the empty carseat around Provo. I had to show my mom and sister!

Ok now I get what you meant by diaper cake, I was so confused!!!
How fun, you're getting all ready! I am so excited for you.
Super cute car seat!! I can't believe you're already 28 weeks!! Time has flown by... well, maybe not as fast for you since you are the pregnant one, but your little one will be here before you know it!
Of course you had to show it to them! It's too adorable not to ;).
fun!! i love that you're driving the carseat around!! better get used to it!!
So fun, Sam! John put up with a few things - like getting the baby clothes organized in a dresser three months ahead of time and getting the stroller all set and ready to go. It's hard not to, even the second time around!
Sam I would have been worried about you if you HADDN'T gone and put it in the car immediatly! Yea for babies only 12 weeks left!
