Karen's First Shower! or Where are We Going to Put All This Stuff?

Karen had her first baby shower this weekend at the Chado Tea Room in Los Angeles. Here she is with (l-r) Stacey and Ali, the organizers of the event (thanks, girls! you made the mommy-to-be very happy!) and below you can see the arrangement of tables and the delicious treats. We got all kinds of stuff, but nothing impressed Jay more than Grover's brand new array of New York Jets onesies care of the one and only Ali Bell. I guess Grover has no choice in his/her choice of favorite sports teams (there have to be some traditions left intact, no?).


Then, the following night, we ventured up to the Valley and were treated to a delicious meal over at the Erlich's house (this place has been Karen's home away from home for years). We had an amazing meal (mmmm...squash soup! was it spaghetti squash I wonder?) with amazing company. Then, after dinner, we were completely floored when they presented us with not one, but both of our car seats! Thanks Erlichs! Now we just need the new car to put them in.

Karen is now in Week 29. Check out the Bump Watch photo below in the usual location against the wall by the door, but this time with balloons and baby gifts! By the way, tomorrow night we go for our second three-hour-long birthing class. The good news is Jay didn't pass out last time.
