A Shower For Rachel

My good friend Rachel just had her baby boy. He is so cute. It makes me wonder how women ever stop from having babies. I held him and immediately thoughts of another went through my head. Too bad I am struggling with the four I have. I might be persuaded to give it another go. (that is only if a surrogate mother were involved). He fits in your arms just right. And he is still in that gumby stage were babies mold themselves right to your body. I held him for maybe 30 minutes and he totally gave me those tremors of awe, peace, and reverence that only babies can give.

Rewind....

Three weeks ago almost, I had a shower for Rachel and mystery baby boy (since named Benjamin or Gingermen if you ask Kate). I wanted it to be super special to compensate for not throwing one for her when she had Ashley (she didn't want to do it before the baby, because they didn't know the gender and I went out of town shortly after she was born and then Rachel left town...it just never happened). I found some great ideas on Marthastewart.com. I had so much fun making the cake, and block framed mirror. The mobile was not so much fun. Anyway, here are some pics from the evening. I love when friends have babies. What better excuse could there be to have a celebration!
