billy's sister niki is pregnant with her 1st baby and i helped throw a shower for her last weekend. i think it went amazingly well! the theme was "under the sea". i totally ran with it. i found the perfect under sea invite and then made this diaper cake which i was very proud of. i also bought little turtle, starfish and shell mint molds. back to the diaper cake.. my original thought was just buying little squirty bath toys and putting them on the cake, but after a visit to miss niki's, i saw she already had those, so i set out to make my own sea creatures. i had no idea how much i would enjoy making them! i got so excited after i completed each one and thought they turned out so cute. i actually kinda miss them! like they were my little friends. :-) but am happy to hand them over to a sweet baby.. who i can't wait to meet and see what he or she looks like.
it all takes me back to when i was pregnant with jamie.. oh the anticipation.. and oh how niave i was! but it was such a wonderful time.. i miss being pregnant.. i loved it, even though towards the end it gets uncomfortable, and those first 3months are soo tiring. we definately want more kids, but for now, the 4 of us is quite fufilling! i think just holding niki's baby (if my girls will allow!) will be enough for me at the moment.
