Keeping Up With The Knables: Our First Baby Shower!

This past weekend was my first shower in Baytown, hosted by Aunt P French, Aunt Suzie, Nicole, and Candace. The shower was at Peas-N-Honey in Baytown, a cute little tea room/gift shop. If you are ever in Baytown you should definitely stop by... super cute place! They served brunch, tea, coffee, and mimosas! I felt so blessed to be surrounded by people who have influenced my life in one way or another; having them there to show their love and support was very humbling.

I have to say though, after the shower and being back at home with all this 'stuff' kind of made it an emotional day for me! I'm not sure what it was... how blessed I felt? how real it made it that this little guy will be here soon? or a combination of both? Michelle (Tim's mom) and my parents helped bring back all the gifts for Dylan. That evening my Dad and Tim put together all the gadgets. Tree and I took tags off of all the clothes, bibs, birp clothes, little socks, etc. It was an evening I'll cherish, mundane as it was, it was special to have my parents there to share in the joy and excitement... and laughter! I laughed so many times at Tim and I trying to figure out how to use some of these things!

If you know me, you know my dogs mean the world to me. I am extremely attached to them. As the living room filled with strollers, pac-n-play, jumpers, and car seats... my pups just laid on the couch with their little eyes just wondering around as if to say "where are our new toys?"... I'm a sap when it comes to those little girls! It made me realize (more than before) that my pup's little life is about to change too. I got this guilty feeling and made a promise that I'd do all I could to make them still feel special and loved as much as I do now. I know, I know those of you that have had babies and had dogs first are probably calling me nieve... maybe I am... but it makes me feel better to think that way! :)

Here are some pictures of the shower... it was a great day!
