Showers, Showers, Showers, and Showers

We are so blessed to have to many friends and family that wanted to celebrate the arrival of our little man. I ended up having 4 different showers. The showers started in January, and I just finished my last two showers on February 6th and 7th.
My mom was able to come for the last two showers in Columbia. It was wonderful for her to be here and help. She got the entire nursery organized, my hospital bag packed, all the gifts put away and now we are ready for Cohan to arrive!!

The first shower was in Springfield, IL with friends and family. It was thrown by my mom's two best friends, Margie and Leslie, and my sister, Abby, and sister-in-law, Sarah. It was so fun to celebrate and get advise from all my family and friends. My Yukon on the way home was packed to the brim. I was not sure we would get everything to fit.


My next shower was a couples shower for all my friends at work. It was thrown by Abbey Matz, Betsy Rice and Ann Denney. They had the awesome idea to make soups and breads. It was perfect. Everyone had a great time and we were excited to spend time with great people!
My third shower was with all my girlfriends and moms of my friends. It was February 6th. It is always so fun to get everyone together and catch up. This shower was thrown by Kenley Barnett and my sister-in-law, Beth. It was so fun to get together, celebrate and get ready for Cohan!

My last shower, was for all the Columbia friends of my mother-in-law. It so fun and great to see people that I normally don't get to see. It was especially fun to have two showers in one weekend.
Now we are just waiting and ready for him to come. Bets were made at all the showers and everyone thinks that I will go early... and I am A-O-K with that!!!!
