LaRae's Sip and See Shower!

I was really excited to have a baby shower for LaRae. I had a surprise one at work at Medsource when I was pregnant with Lincoln and since I had another boy did not have one with Vance. Aunt Michelle gave me so many NEEDED hand-me-downs from clothes, furniture, bedding, toys, etc so I hardly felt like I needed anything when it came to having a boy. I had the things I needed for a girl and got lots of great hand-me-downs from Alyssa but I wanted lots of bows and all the fun accessories that come with having a baby girl. We also wanted to celebrate LaRae getting through all her sickness in her first month so we had a party. We held the shower at Julianne's house and my Mom ran the party. Julianne, my Mom, and Lys all helped with the decor and food.

It was so fun. LaRae and I were both spoiled. I loved it. My favorite gift was from my Mom. She had Alyssa print off a picture of my Grandmother Glenna LaRae and framed it to go in LaRae's nursery. I really wish we had a surviving picture of Sheehan's grandmother Viola so LaRae can see where she gets her first and middle name. I'm so grateful for all the family and friends that we have that love us and support us.

It needs to be documented that I sent an image of exactly like this baby balloon art jokingly to Julianne and said, "I expect nothing less." Then she managed to figure out how to make it! It was unbelievable. She is so smart and talented. 

Our good friend, Cindy Schonberger, gave us this blanket for LaRae. Baby Rae was just coming out of the RSV when I took this pic. I was so excited to FINALLY just enjoy my newborn without worrying about her health. The sun was shining and my baby was feeling okay!
