Our church held a baby shower for local area moms this Saturday morning. Our Preschool Director did a fabulous job, as always, putting it all together. I had a lot of fun seeing old friends again and hanging out with all those pregnant gals.....and quite frankly, I was thankful not to be pregnant! Aren't these the cutest centerpieces you've ever seen?
Whitney Capps from Proverbs 31 Ministries spoke. She was great - I'll post more on that later.
Debbie read a great definition of a mother, which I will post later as well. Tons of prizes were given out: $50 Babies R Us gift card, MOPS membership, Dream Dinners, ceramic hand prints of your baby, and a Vera Bradley bag, just to name a few.
Check out these fun games: The first was pick up the duck - on the bottom either "boy" or "girl" was written to find out if they are having a girl our boy.

The second one was disgusting! It's the "Guess the Poop" game. It's actually candy that is melted and put on diapers. Gross! 
Each mom got a free lunch provided by our kitchen staff - yummy chicken salad on croissant, sesame sticks, fruit and dessert. Also, each mom got to go home with a gift- a diaper filled with goodies - book and cd and all sorts of fun stuff.These ladies had a great time and hopefully came away with some 
biblical advice. I pray they also came away knowing that our church is there for them when needed, but most importantly, that God is there for them. You truly cannot be a mom without the help of Jesus. I am finding that out more and more each day. I always thought the newborn stage was hardest. It isn't; it's just different - each stage is. Thank God our church has been there for our family each step of the way. It was a great morning and I was so thankful to have been part of it.

My sister-in-law went and had a blast! Sounded like a lot of fun. She brought a friend that doesn't go to church, and said it was a great outreach event. Thank you guys for putting it on!
