My Incredible Diaper Shower

This past Saturday, my great friends Lori, Georgia and Karen hosted a diaper shower for me.  The idea was to help us out with some diapers, but who can resist all the cute baby things out there?  Thank you so much to everyone who came. 
 
I got some beautiful and amazing gifts including our crib sets (thank you Pat and Dick), outfits (lots of matching things!), receiving blankets, burp cloths, bottle sterilizer, gift cards, and two beautiful hand-made (hand-tied, that is) blankets for the boys (thanks Peoria Martins), plus lots more.  

This is all in addition to 1,678 diapers!  We figure these should last us for at least a few weeks, right? ;)  

Thank you again to Lori, Georgia and Karen.  A special thanks to Georgia for opening up her home to all of us.  You guys rock!

We played some fun "twin" baby games.
The girls made a special reduced sugar brownie sundae dessert that I could eat!  They topped it off with Twix (get it? Twix? Two babies?).  They also gave out DoubleMint Gum as the party favor!  Too cute! Or should I say two cute?
Two Cute as a Bug outfits.  Who can resist?

Our crib sets!  Thanks again Pat and Dick!
The boys like the ice cream and brownies!

The preggos. Me, 30 weeks with twins, Heather, 31 weeks, and Georgia, 21 weeks.
Heather and I compare bumps while Georgia looks on.  She's probably thinking "I hope I don't get that big!!"

Then, after the shower, Georgia opened up her pool to anyone interested.  I was definitely interested!

Thanks again ladies!  It was a great day and we are much more prepared now!  Love spending time with my girlfriends!
