In seven weeks, my lil' sis, Heidi, is due with her first baby! I still can't believe it sometimes! The little girl, who is 6 1/2 years younger than me, and sat in between Gerald and me on our dates is having a baby. The little girl, who cheered on the sidelines while I cheered, is having a baby! The little girl, who grew up and became my children's second mom, the fun mom, is going to have her very own baby boy, Jax! She is going to be such an amazing mom! We have had a great time celebrating her and Jax with two showers in two weekends.
The first shower was a family and friend shower in our hometown (or large metropolis homecity... that's for you, dad). We had a luncheon at an old mansion. My mom spent so much time decorating and making adorable cupcakes and cakes for this shower. We had a very lovely, girly time!!
The second shower was given by Heidi's best friend, Laura at my house. We had such a fun time eating yummy food and playing games! It was fun to meet all of Heidi's close friends and co-workers! Everyone is so excited about baby Jax!!
Heidi and I made a diaper cake for this shower! We decorated it with ribbon and topped it with flowers. It was so pretty! The party favors were pretzel rods dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with toffee. I didn't make Heidi help with that! :) Laura made cheesecake and wrote Jax's name in chocolate to decorate each dessert plate! How cute is that?!!!
Heidi and her best friend, Laura... They are so adorable and hilarious!
Mom, Me, Big Sis Maegen, Lil' Sis Heidi, Sis-in-law Bethany, and Grandma
Gilli with her Nani, Heidi and Bethany... all enjoying the yummy food!
We can't wait to meet baby Jax! My kiddos pray for him every night and are so excited to get another cousin! It's been a busy time with Hunter being born just a few months ago and Jax coming soon! Those little guys are going to be so close in age and so loved by all their big cousins, aunts and uncles, and grandparents! I am sure lovin' being an aunt again and again!!Congrats Heidi and Andrew! You guys are awesome parents already!
