Shannon's baby shower






One of my closest friends Shannon is having a baby boy very soon. His name will be Brady. This past weekend Myself and three of Shannon's closest friends and her sister threw a baby shower for her. We did a couples shower. It was in the evening and it ended up being so much fun. The guys played poker (they had to buy in with a pack of diapers). Shannon was able to get tons of diapers for Mr. Brady. All of us girls sat and watched her open gifts. We played The price is right with baby items, We played the game where you put the baby in ice cubes and whoevers baby breaks free first yells "My water broke" and they win :) We also played a fun game where you match up candy names to other random things that sound like that candy.
I think everyone had a good time.

I do want to ask for a special prayer from all of you. Shannon (the one we had the shower for), she went into early labor last week. They were able to stop the contractions by giving her a shot at first, but then they started back up. They then tried some intravenous drugs that did stop them. She's been sick off and on this past week and although she is no longer on bed rest was told she may or may not make it another 3 weeks or so. She was 34 weeks when she went into early labor. So its not too terribly early but still. Please keep Shannon and baby Brady in your prayers for a safe and healthy delivery.
