While I was back in Iowa my mom and sister put together a baby shower. Since Olga couldn't make the trip back to the US, I was the stand-in mommy and I have to say that I did quite a nice job (although I did this sans belly!). I have to admit, I was very skeptical of this idea, but I had a great time visiting with family and friends and they didn't make me change any diapers (see pics below)!! I'm not sure I can thank everyone enough for putting the shower together, as well as for all of the very nice gifts that everyone gave our little girl. We even had Olga and her mother, Svetlana, join in via Skype, so they got to see and talk to everyone! Below are some pics from the shower.
Look what daddy bought our little girl. Her first Polo outfit!!

My cousin Jennifer with her newest niece, Ellie (It's amazing that we were able to get Ellie away from her grandma Liz!)
Me trying to get into the Baby Bjorn. It took 3 of us to get me into it!! I even read the instructions....REALLY!
Time to change Ellie's diaper. Notice how I'm right in there helping...not so much. Have to take this slow.
