Johnston/Buessing Baby Shower

Ann's sisters Mimi and Audrey threw me and baby Johnston a baby shower at Ann's (Grandma J) house in Stockton. Kirk's family from the Johnston and Buessing sides as well as family friends showered us with lots of great fun and baby gifts. We are now ready for this baby to come (at least in terms of gear).

We played fun games including guess the type of chocolate bar...there were melted chocolate bars in diapers which looked realistically like poop. Everyone also had to guess the size of my belly, which turned out to be 39 inches (wow, more than I wanted to know).

Audrey treated us to yummy home-made taco salads - even the taco shells and tortilla chips were home-made. Ann's sisters surprised her with a granny gift including a house-coat, granny glasses, shower cap, knee-highs and a pull cart. Ann was a good sport and put it all on while uncontrollably laughing the whole time. I decided to be nice and not post those photos!!!

The Johnston guys (Cliff, Kirk and Eric) were hard at work fixing the back fence while we were having a good time. We let them take a break and enjoy taco salads too! :)

Only 5 more weeks until our due date!

Hi Kirk and Laurie,

You guys are looking good. We can't wait to see you and the baby. You might also consider bringing hard candy to the hospital -- much better than ice chips, especially if you end up having a c-section (they wouldn't let me have solid food or juice for 24 hours after the c-section).
