At 32 weeks and 2 days I finally had my baby shower on Sunday, November 19th and it was amazing. I really enjoyed myself after being stressed all week. I lost my father on Saturday, November 11th, worked 8 hours daily as a schoolteacher that week, planned a whole funeral, buried my father Saturday, November 18th, cooked all the food for my shower, and planned the overall baby shower setup. My niece and best friend made my vision come to life and I loved the outcome. I am sooooo tired, but it was all worth it to see my family and friends show up in support of my son, Aiden Douglass, and fellowship with Steven and myself.

Aiden has the BEST PARENTS!!!

More of my students... they love Ms. Starks!!!

Even after you load up dad’s house with gifts and diapers, more people stop by and drop off gifts. I forgot how much stuff one little person can get at a shower.
