A very special day when we were back in Texas is the shower that my sisters and mom threw for me, Matt and Madelyn. They went above and beyond anything I ever expected. It was a book shower - to gain a collection of our closest family/friend's favorite childhood books for Maddie. Caitlin came up with the idea and I absolutely loved it! We definitely have a great selection to chose from to read to our daughter now! Friends that I have dearly missed since moving to Alaska made the trip out to attend which really meant a lot to me to have their support and catch up even if it seemed for just a few minutes. So though it way too quick of an afternoon, I am so thankful to have that memory.

| Amy made this awesome diaper cake. Sadly I had to take it apart to get it back to Alaska. |
 |
| I love the banners Caitlin made. They are going to be hung in the nursery. |
 |
They also made these really cool stars...those sadly had to be left behind. :(
It stinks being stuck to traveling with only a suitcase. These would have been awesome in the nursery as well. |
And one cannot forget the amazing food spread.
I wish I could go back and enjoy some more now. |

27 weeks pregnant. We are getting so close! |
It was a bit tricky figuring out how to handle the weight and space issue with our luggage flying back, with all the books, various gifts and shopping I did (I have been greatly deprived, so I thought I actually displayed great restraint overall). But we made it back with only one extra suitcase and very heavy carry-ons. :) Matt is currently working on painting a small bookshelf for the nursery that will display all the wonderful books Maddie received. He has recently informed me he's about done with the painting and "re-doing" projects I keep coming up with. But he has been a great sport about it - because there have been quite a few...
