Last Saturday, my friends (who started out as co-workers) threw a book shower for Bob and I. Each guest was given a little book plate sticker to go in the children's books they brought. Each sticker has a little tree that matches the nursery and says "Margot's Library." How wonderful to have your own library before you're even born!
Lucky little Margot got SO MANY good books. Some we knew, and they took us way back: Curious George, The Hungry Little Caterpillar, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, etc. Others were new to us, and I'm sure we'll have gobs of fun reading to her.
And there were wonderful little blankets and outfits. It was just a perfect afternoon spent among friends and books.
The only thing I'd change: I look huge in the pictures! Why didn't someone tell me my dress was billowing up around me?! I easily look twice as big as I really am. I've got a few showers coming up: Bev's in Alabama and my mom's in Indiana and I think one Bob's mom, Betty, is throwing. Please, people, don't let me be photographed like that again! I know I'll get to be huge. But I'm not there yet.
Oh, my self confidence is slightly shattered...

OOoooohhhh a book shower! How fun. I wish I could get one of those... but I don't think it's customary to ask for a shower with baby #2 or a year and a half after the baby comes :)
Don't worry... I think all of us prego women have major image issues during these last few months especially. You look super happy!!!!
