This weekend, Joe and I were treated to back-to-back showers... the first, hosted by my lovely co-workers, and the second, by our wonderful friends. On Friday, my co-workers greeted Joe and me with a great "Buns in the Oven" themed potluck lunch shower, during which we played some hysterical (though embarrassing!) games, and received some wonderfully thoughtful gifts. We also learned that candy can be cleverly disguised as dirty diapers, and got lots of hilarious baby name suggestions from the wacky group... the general themes ranging from famous pairs, to our bosses' names, to various adaptations of some of our fondest AmeriCorps processes! Thanks all for the recommendations... we will definitely have to take Frick and Frack into serious consideration, among others. :-)Then on Saturday, my friends hosted an incredible "Two Peas in a 
Pod" baby shower. This was truly the shower to end all showers! The theme was planned down to every last detail, from the gorgeous cake and cupcake favors, to the decor, and even down to the cups, plates, and baby shower bingo cards. The food spread was amazing, and no one could get enough of the cake - once we could bring ourselves to cut it, of course, since it was so adorable. And in addition to an edible cake, we even had a 
"two peas in a pod" diaper cake! The lovely hostesses Olivia, Shetal, and Missy truly outdid themselves in the planning department, and Sylvie was kind enough to furnish the shower location - in addition to planning my work shower the day before! We received so many fun, functional, and thoughtful gifts from everyone - we feel so much better prepared to become parents thanks to all of your generosity. We are overwhelmed with gratitude to you all!

Throughout this pregnancy, we have felt truly fortunate to have the love and support of such 
wonderful and generous friends and family. Our babies are very lucky to have a such a loving family throughout the country, as well as a tremendous network of adoptive famly right here in the D.C. area! We cannot thank you all enough for being so good to us throughout the years, and particularly through these last few months. Without you, we couldn't have made it through pregnancy... or all that is still to come once our little ones arrive!
