Our church has a ministry for expectant mothers called Great Expectations. They partner the mom-to-be with a mentor mom, someone who has already "been there done that." The mentor mom then follows you through your pregnancy, keeps in touch with you on a regular basis, brings you a gift from the church when you're in the hospital and arranges meals to be provided for you and your family for several weeks after you come home with the baby. My mentor mom's name is Wendy, and she has been a blessing! Last weekend she kept Mason so Seth and I could have a date night. We have not been able to do that since we moved to Mississippi in March. And not only that, but she contacted the girls in our small group (There are seven couples in our small group, and we meet once a week for food, fellowship and Bible study.) and planned a baby shower for Hannah Kate. It was really a fun time with the new friends I've made since we moved here.
So check out this centerpiece! Is it not gorgeous?!? Jenni, our small group leader's wife, hosted the shower at her house, and her mom made this arrangement! The carriage actually belongs to her little niece, and her mom filled it with the beautiful hot pink roses. Wendy made the cake. It was strawberry cake with cream cheese icing and so yummy!
We received several really cute outfits for Hannah Kate. This one is a pink sleeper with little monkeys all over it. It came with a matching bib.
One of the girls in my small group does monogramming (I know - how awesome is that?!? And if that isn't enough, Jenni is also a photographer!). She monogrammed a couple of bibs for Hannah Kate, along with this cute little onesie. You can't tell from this picture, but Hannah Kate's initials are monogrammed in the middle of the flower.
