| My shower contribution: Lemon Blueberry Cake with White Chocolate Cream Cheese Icing |
Mom outdid herself hosting a baby shower for Ramlet and me this past weekend. Platters of homemade finger sandwiches, salads bursting with summer's best produce, and enough carrots on the veggie platter so assure all attendees might get to eat one before I polished off the rest. (Note: I told Husband the other day carrots had a better crunch and a more complex flavor than potato chips. Conclusion: Definitely pregnant. Concern: How many pounds of carrots does it take to turn Ramlet orange?)
Friends from all stages of my life attended or sent greetings. Those present decorated onsies for Ramlet, guessed my belly's circumference (the shortest strings won!), and laughingly remembered nursery rhymes. My three-year-old niece kept the gift unwrapping moving at a brisk pace. The generosity of friends and family overwhelmed me as each package revealed something adorable or practical (or both) for this next part of life.
When's the last time love overwhelmed you?
Yeah! So glad you enjoyed it all :) And I prefer carrots over potato chips as well, even when not pregnant.
