Church Choir Shower...and other news

On Sunday, my church choir which I'm a member of threw a lunch shower for Birc and me.  It was just the sweetest and kindest thing and we had the best time.  We had a yummy catered lunch of chicken spaghetti, green beans, salad, and rolls, along with an adorable cake.  The tables were decorated with little sweet girly touches that I loved, all in pink and white. 





I am always amazed and humbled to receive such wonderful gifts at showers- and this one takes the cake.  So many friends and fellow choir members made handmade things, chose personalized items, and brought useful items like towels and baby lotion for baby Savannah to have.  Every single thing we received is such a blessing to Birc and me and I am so very thankful to be part of a choir family at St. James.  I don't know where in the world I would be without St. James, I tell ya.  I can only hope I give back enough for how much the church gives to Birc and me.



Tracy, our choir director and the one who put this whole shower together, made this adorable diaper cake for us! Birc said, "we do get to keep those diapers, right?" [we recently bought two boxes of diapers, and Birc thought that would last us a month.  Hah-try a few days! Needless to say he is now in shock at the diaper expense coming our way.]
The lady to my left handmade this quilt for Savannah Cate. LOVE that.

Most of the crew! We had such a great time and felt SO VERY blessed.  I can't say it enough.

In other news, guess who went to the doc today and was told she was already 2 cm dialated and 80% effaced [and who definitely WON'T make it to 40 weeks]? This girl.  Yep, looks like a baby is on the way sooner than we thought!

Amy and Birc,

We loved being a part of your journey into parenthood. What a blessing you both are and what great parents you already are to your sweet Savannah Cate. We all can't wait to meet her.

Thanks for sharing the great memories of the shower in pictures and your words.

Much love and blessings to you!
Tracy
