Baby Montgomery had her very first shower this weekend. We flew down to South Carolina for the occasion. It was so wonderful to 
be able to go to school (Royall Elementary) on Friday. I spent the day visiting with friends and students all day long. My old students were all very excited to see me. Some were also very surprised by my baby bump not knowing that I was pregnant. On Saturday, Joni Tarte hosted a beautiful "keepsake" themed baby shower. The table (as you can see) was beautiful! Hanging from the chandler was silver baby keepsakes borrowed from Joni and Georgie's family. They were absolutely precious. Each was tied up with pink ribbon and were accompanied by a little babies breath. The lovely ladies in first grade each prepared a salad. It was a special treat because a few of my students were able to come. Caroline Gatchell came with her mother. She is in third grade now alon
g with Elizabeth Singleton and her sister Mary Hampton who I've stayed with while their parents vacation. It was a beautiful day for a shower. Sunny and 75. We spent the lunch-in chatting, opening gifts, and eating delicious dishes. I did not want the day to end. It was an absolutely perfect day! Our entire visit was very special to me. When I said good-bye to friends it became apparent that the next time I saw any of them I would be a mother. :) I
can't wait! The rest of the weekend was spent with Dad and Tangie. On Friday, we met Don and Bev Brown for dinner to celebrate Bev's birthday. We went to the Japanese Steakhouse in Florence and at our table was an OB specialist. He was giving Grandma and Grandpa Newman tips to help induce labor. They of course want Baby Montgomery to come while they are home for Christmas. If she's anything like her bullheaded mother and father she will come when SHE is ready... but I'm willing to try anything. :) Not even 30 weeks in my belly and Baby Montgomery has done so many wonderful things! After this weekend we can add an airplane ride to the list. (Thanks Mimzey and Dan-o) Baby Montgomery had an appointment on Thursday. Everything is going perfectly. Her h
eart rate was 141 (perfect) and she's growing at a good pace. Right now she a little over a foot long and weighs a bit over 2lbs. My belly is growing at a quick pace as well. You can see quite a bump if you look at the picture where I am opening Elizabeth and Mary Hampton's gift. :) I would like to close with a quote about friends in honor of my beautiful friends in South Carolina. "Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born." Thank you, ladies for sharing your worlds with me.

Ry,
Your baby shower in SC was southern elegance. I can tell by the table, a genteel time was had by all. I hope you are having fun putting the babes new things in her room.
