It's been a while! Like four months since my last post. In my defense, we have been pretty busy around here. Christian started his new internship, we moved to South Jordan, and of course, we've been preparing for baby.
Speaking of preparing for baby...we were lucky enough to have THREE baby showers. Our family, friends, and ward members have been extremely generous and supportive. We feel so blessed :) Unfortunately, I didn't document all three showers (because I'm huge pregnant and lazy). But, fortunately for me, my sister in law is like a legit photographer and took some great pictures of the family/ward shower my mom organized.

Just missing Mom and Steph in this picture! |
The shower was absolutely perfect. We had delicious mini fruit pizza and veggies to snack on as well as a couple of fun guessing games/activities for guests.
We had an "advice tree" where guests could share their baby knowledge and then clip it to the tree with tiny pink clothespins. We also had a calendar and stamps for everyone to guess when baby girl would make her debut. Thanks to everyone who guessed she'd come early! That was nice of you :) Unfortunately as I am writing this, she is two days late...looks like she won't be here until next week...
Aren't these decorations just to die for? My other sister in law, Stephie Lynne, made me this adorable onesie banner. Cute AND practical!

The loot! I had to take a picture of the gifts from all three showers.
The piles of presents literally filled Ellie's little room :) |
I had such a great time at all three showers. Christian and I really have been amazed at how thoughtful everyone has been. A big thank you to all those who planned and/or came to any of our parties. You guys are the best :) Thank you, thank you, thank you!
