When Karen found out she was expecting she bought a few pregnancy books. One night we were over at their house so I grabbed a book and started poking through it. Never again. Well, never again before I have my own little guy in my belly. There's some strange stuff in those things! Some of the drawings of the baby at 6 weeks are downright terrifying. So word to the wise--if you ever want a kiddo, save the books until you're well on your way.
One last thing. This "baby shower" was more of a "big party with all of Karen and Myers' friends and oh wait, she's having a baby so bring a gift!" So while yes, there was a punch bowl, there were also about 20 different types of beer and wine. Oops.
Alright, bring on the pictures.
Ah yes, see what I mean?
I told Michael we just HAD to have a pumpkin cooler--take a look at his work! He's the best. :)
If you squint your eyes and look very, very closely, you will see the tiny punch bowl for the guest of honor.
This was what the table looked like when I thought we had all of the food.
...And then the food multiplied. (It works for more than just fish and loaves, people!)
The glorious cake that Rachel's mom made! Those babies are edible! (Don't worry, none of us felt comfortable eating them either...)
The hosts with the guests of honor.
That's us!
That's us!
Opening the gifts...
I am going to be very honest with you. I included this picture because I think my hair looks good. There, I said it.
Congratulations Karen and Myers!!! :)

p.s/ i am pretty certain you and Michael will make a fabulous honorary aunt and uncle!!
when my friend susan was the pregs, her mom gave her some old 1980 style pregnancy books complete with LOTSA pictures, and while HIGHLY ENTERTAINING, they were completely terrifying!
I LOVE the pumpkin cooler!! Such a fun idea! And I mostly liked the pics because we get to see more of your house. I'm obsessed with people's houses. AND I love your dress! You always have the cutest dresses!
where did you get that pumpkin cooler? I love it!!! great shower!
Beautiful! And I ALMOST bought that dress you are wearing but it didn't look half as good on me as it does on you...hot stuff!
I think your hair looks totally hot.
The pumpkin cooler is such a great idea! I love when showers are more "party" than "shower"...much more fun that way.
(And great hair pic! I have to admit I have done the same thing before...)
i'm a retard! sorry, the pumpkin cooler looked so awesome it looked as though it was fake-as in bought somewhere! :P
Aw so fun! And you seriously look adorable-LOVING the hair and the ensemble-fabtastic! :) And I'm also really digging those barstools you have btw.... :)
Looks like you guys had a great party! I love the centerpiece on the table. Where did you get it?
Love that pumpkin cooler idea!! And, that cake looks good. I sort of want a piece right now...
Best shower ever!!! Thanks for throwing it Aunt Merd and Uncle Mike!!
My husband wanted to have a baby,, but he had an erectil dysfunction problem, so we decided to buy viagra and after that i could be pregnant. All my friend was excited with the new, so they organized an secret baby shower for me. It was wonderful.
