If I ever needed confirmation that I grew up in the best church home, with the most supportive, Godliest women I have ever known, my recent shower in Nashville was proof. So many women came out to shower me with blessings, gifts, and words of wisdom and encouragement for Avery, and I could not have been more humbled by their outpouring of love and support.
 |
| My wonderful mother (I do not know what I would do without her throughout this whole process!), Ash and Nana. Sweet hostesses. |
 |
| Cupcakes for a sweet baby girl! Made by the same fabulous lady from church who did M's groom cake. |
 |
| Aunt Kay, Sandra and Morgan. So grateful they came! |
 |
| 2 of my favorite people on the planet. |
 |
| My flower girl at 7 years old! Where has the time gone? And precious Maddie Clendenin. Apparently M and Russ had dressed her that morning :) |
That Saturday night, Heather and Russ and Aimee hosted a college friends' shower at the Clendenin's house. M and I had been looking forward to this shower for weeks, because it had been ages since we had seen a lot of our friends. It was fun to have both my friends and his friends gathered to celebrate Avery! We are so incredibly thankful for such a wonderful support system. We just cannot wait to move back closer so Avery Grace can grow up around all of our friends!

| I have the most wonderful friends. |
 |
| Pi Delta Family Tree |
 |
| Everyone wants a baby bump! |
 |
| We can't wait to move in with you :) |
 |
| Could not have better friends! |
While we were there we also got to have maternity pictures taken by the talented Erin Thacker. Here's one of our faves. At 31 weeks :)
I know I'm still way behind posts. Work has been exhausting and claiming every ounce of energy I have. The nursery is almost completely done. And we've started childbirth classes, eeek! 7 more weeks!
