I had my baby shower on Sunday, organized by my sister, Molly, cousin Kelly and soon to be cousin-in-law, Liz. I even had the wife of my 2nd cousin there. Yep, we're a close family. I felt really loved and honored. My monster in law and niece, Hannah, even came into town all the way from Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Although the babies were the reason for the shower, of course, lots of people had Ryan in mind when they shopped. These boys are going to be decked out in "rocker" gear. Onesies with guitars, sleepers with drumkits - you name it, they got it. There were no soccer jersies or mini-hiking boots to honor mommy's passions, but that's OK, musicians are indeed much, much cooler. Roadie even got his own gift, as one guest made a donation in his name to the animal rescue organization where he came from (and where I volunteer). Big brother Roadie cannot be left out of the shower! After the babies come, I'm sure we'll get another dog from there. Right, Ry?
We had maternity photos yesterday, too. We did some at our house and some at the local park. Totally awkward. Ryan and I can't take such things seriously. Bless that photographer for her patience. There was a little girl walking in the park when I had my shirt pulled up a bit to show off the boys and she said, "Mommy, look at that lady's belly!" I actually recoiled more at being called a lady than the fact that my twin stomach has become something to point at.
