Can I just say that we are so excited to meet baby Jackson??!! I am at 35 weeks today, so it may be only 5 weeks away.....woo hoo!!! One of the reasons that I am so excited is that we have had so many kind, generous, thoughtful friends who have given us wonderful gifts and showers for this baby boy. We have had a fun time celebrating him with all of these sweet, sweet people!!!
Our first shower was a work shower that the people at my office threw for us. It was really sweet. They made wonderful food, complete with a baby fruit display :) They gave us cute clothes, gift cards, diapers and wipes and the Snap and Go stroller!!! They really were too, too generous!!!

The whole crew after the shower
Some of the people of our community group and that we have gotten to know through church threw us a couple shower. It was perfect because there was pool volleyball and cornhole for the guys and the girls talked and unwrapped gifts. We had yummy hamburgers and cake. We are truly blessed to have gotten to know our friends the Ratchfords, Maggie, Sallie and Caroline and it was a blast to have different groups of friends come together and meet for the first time. We got some great clothes, cups/bowls, towels, the Boppy and the baby Bjorn!
Sweet banner they made....so cute!

Another weekend, we went to see the Grannies and celebrated with them as well. I really just wanted some time together, but they made it into their own mini-shower. They gave us a portable swing for baby Jackson to play in and Sally's parents gave us a beautiful monogrammed blanket. It was good for my soul to be with these guys and just have a couple of days to hang and relax. They are the best!!!

We found this teepee that was set up for Daye and decided to have a little photo shoot!!

Wow.....
Today was a "Ready to Pop" shower given by my sisters-in-law, Ashley and Brittany, and Ryan's aunts, Elaine and Jo-Annah. They truly thought of everything. The entire shower was themed and they used all the colors in Jackson's nursery...orange and turquoise. It was adorable!!! The food all was themed as well from popcorn chicken to fruit pops to poppyseed muffins, completed with a popcorn cake. I am telling you, it was so, so cute!!!! We got some great things, including our carseat, playpen, bedding, clothes, diaper bag, changing pad, tub, towels, outfits. We only have a few things left that we need for this little guy!!
The popcorn cake made complete with M&Ms (if you know me, you know this is perfection!)
