a mini shower for two

I have the sweetest friends in the whole world. We have a tradition that we meet at Davenport's for a little baby shower for each baby born after the first {which of course gets the big shower}. Instead of meeting at the restaurant, I made my friends come to my house because I'm beyond huge and can't sit in chairs. lovely, right?


anyway, I don't have a lot of pictures of myself pregnant because I was so scared that we would lose them and it would be too hard to see pictures. again, lovely right? but my dear friend Amy told me to suck it up and pictures were going to happen. So I made my friend Kate get in the picture with me. she's always dressed so sassy and I'm in the ONLY shirt that fits me. It's an extra large by the way so I'm not really sure what will happen if I outgrow this one!


and then I was forced into the side view shot. I will be eternally grateful to Amy for making me do this. At the time, I was hesitant:


but now I am thankful. can I get a "WHOA MAMA!!"
