Last Baby Shower

This past Monday I went to my second and last baby shower before Alethea is born. I was shocked when asked what date would work best for a baby shower here in St. Louis. I wasn't expecting to have another shower since we have only lived here a short time. I was approached by our elders wife in August and told that it is tradition for the elders wives to give a baby shower for the members of their fold and she wanted to host one for me. Jacob and I were thrilled! I couldn't believe that there would be women at our church that would want to come to my baby shower. Being new to the area I didn't think we would have such a welcome.
Well, the shower was Monday night and I couldn't feel more blessed. There were over 20 women there, some of who I had met only once, some who I knew fairly well and many whom I had never met before.  I was shocked and have been overwhelmed with all the support we have here in St. Louis. I know we have a TON of support back home and am so thankful for everyone, and now it is nice to know that there are also a local body of people who care about us and our child as well. We are so thankful for everyone here, the support and love we have received from our congregation and feel that we are blessed far beyond what we deserve.  Please enjoy some pictures from the shower! Again Thank you to everyone!!
