Last Friday, my sweet friends hosted a baby shower for me and my friend Cassie. Cassie is due in July with her second baby (also a boy) and it was a great opportunity to celebrate these new little men together. Of course, I did not expect to have any type of shower with this pregnancy, being the 3rd time around and another boy, so it was really such a nice surprise to have a little party.
Traci and Elizabeth set up this amazing spread. I wish I could send you some of Elizabeth's pound cake, this preggo went back for seconds.
Cassie hasn't picked a name yet and we aren't sharing Baby3's name, so the girls made these letters for our last names and everyone signed the back. A meaningful keepsake for sure!
Cassie and I did not plan our outfits, we just happen to show up matching really often. We actually unknowingly went to brunch at the same place two days later, wearing the same colored purple dresses. Weird.
I wrote a post a few weeks ago about some of my favorite gifts to give and this burp cloth was one of them. Cassie is an Oklahoma State fan and I just know Baby J will be spitting up because of Oklahoma fans all fall long.
I also got her a giant wine glass, because when you are about to have 2 under 2, it is important.
A sweet little outfit from Traci for Baby 3. This one is coming with me in the suitcase just in case we aren't in a house before Baby comes.
The Ladies

| Me, Elizabeth, Andrea (also pregs with a boy, due in September!), Cassie, Jenny, Nikki, Gina, Traci, Baby Charli |
Cassie and me with the lovely hostesses. My dress is from Target when I was pregs with B. It is a non-maternity one in a bigger size. The necklace is Traci's, it is probably j.crew or somewhere else fancy like that where I don't shop. (I love my friends' closets)
And finally, this is what happens when you walk in the house with handfuls of gifts.
Thanks, Bubs, that was helpful.
12ish weeks til we meet this little dude.
Can't come soon enough!

PS I am reading and appreciating all your comments this week, but time is just so short getting ready for the move and spending time with all the wonderful people we know in Monterey. I look forward to catching up on all your blogs soon and thank you for all your sweet words in the meantime!

Awe, what a sweet surprise! Love the pictures. You look so beautiful! Love your outfit. Can't believe it is only 12 weeks away, I still remember watching the video when you told your other two little ones!
I am so glad you ladies enjoyed it so much and so honored that I could throw this for you two! I can't believe how soon he will be here, but it makes me sad because that means we will both be in our new places (but luckily not TOO far from each other...) And I literally laughed out loud at the last picture of Bennett! HAHA! Typical Bennett fashion! ;)
What a great surprise Kate. You look so beautiful. I love your dress, all of it. So you're pretty much on the last leg of this pregnancy. Congrats.
You have great friends. I'll be thinking about you while you get ready to move. I wish I were there to help you with your kids! So you could pack without "extra" hands. :) Take care,
Shauna xo
I definitely have that same dress :)
You are lucky to have made some many lovely friends in your time in California, I'm sure you will miss them.
So fun!! I love those Hershey kisses!
Looks like a wonderful shower with many great ladies! You can't even tell you are pregnant in these pictures, you are so tiny! Good luck with the move, hope everything goes smooth.
What a wonderful day with friends! And you are just so beautiful. I hope your packing is going well, no one here should blame you at all for wanting to soak up the last few days in Monterey!
You look gorgeous! Congratulations and good luck with your move!
What a nice surprise! You both look great and love your dresses.
What a wonderful group of women to throw you a shower.
And a good gift giver always goes with the oversized wine glass. ;)
What a great shower!
I'm having a shower for my SIL in June and I absolutely love the idea of the signing the back of the letters. May have to steal that idea.
Great food assortment too! You gave me some ideas for sure!
I love baby showers they are so fun, looks like you ladies had a fabulous time. I can't believe your already down to 12 weeks left.
What a gorgeous shower! And none of y'all even look pregnant, so more pound cake for everyone please. Don't starve the baby! ;)
Girl friends are just the best. It's so nice that they'll be able to keep up with you through your blog and other technology. That little white jumper is so precious, I love it.
Good luck with the move, hope you get lots of help.
