More new beginings

For so long Molli and I were the only ones with little ones!  I'm so glad the others are catching up!  Beth and Phil are excited to be welcoming their little one at the end of January!  The girls and moms got together to shower her and wee one with love!

Beth and Ginny

Mom always does such a wonderful job of hosting the baby showers.  She loves doing it for the girls - not sure what she's flinging around with her arms... must have been a great story.  :)

Amy and her bacon!  She has LOVED the stuff as long as I've known her.  Her mom had to limit her to one pack of real bacon a month the rest had to be turkey bacon.  So it was very appropriate for her to bring chocolate covered bacon.  Yes, sounds so wrong in so many ways!

Our little mini me's Maici (molli's) and Kaid

My oldest (not by age of course, because we are still so young) friends

Beth, Amy (don't worry, Luke's food source didn't go anywhere - ha sorry Amy, couldn't resist!), me of course, Jen, Mere and Molli

A great tradition started back when we were 6.  Mom always came up with the craziest games for us to play.  Here we are at 30, still under the power of mom's crazy games!  Who can drink 3 ounces out of a baby bottle the fastest?

Molli perhaps?

Mere?  maybe the wee one in her belly will help with this?

Jen trying out her lactation pointers by using massage.

Janna with her experience with "instructing" hundreds of new little ones in the suck, swallow, breathe technique?

Amy while taking a time out to feed her own hungry baby as he got jealous watching us drinking and not him?  (trust me Amy, I could have posted a picture worse than the one above  haha!  Julia - turn the camera off when it's feeding time!)

Beth, after all she's going to be doing lots of feeding soon?

And the winner is?  Cheers!  That's harder than it looks!

All of the girls have gotten a personalized bib, burpie and paci clip set from me.  I can't wait to get a picture of all of the babies wearing them - (bring them all to Mere's shower!  We'll get one!)

Sweet little Luke - he was so good and was awake for most of the shower!

Jen and Kate playing - sweet baby moments!

Mom's theme was so cute!  It was even complete with a little barn and animals.  Mom painted the little barn and it wasn't complete without the "smilie" on the back just like one on the way to our old high school.  cute!

How precious is this kid!

Two of my earliest friends.  Buds since 1st grade!  Both expecting babies!  So thrilled for them!
