The Shower in Absentia (or, Happy Birthday Mom!)

Last Saturday, Mama Elms and Pepa teamed up to throw a huge baby shower for Shawna and the baby. It also happened to be Mama Elms' birthday. Unfortunately, Shawna's being on bedrest prevented us from straying that far from the UCLA hospital to attend. So they soldiered on, with Pepa opening the gifts for Shawna, since Pepa was unable to open presents at her first shower prior to Goo's birth.

In addition, Shawna and I also decided to reveal the name we have chosen for the baby (something we've been keeping under wraps). So Amy and Britney Clemmons came down here last week and Shawna, as part of a video she made to thank those in attendance, revealed the name...Elizabeth Ryan Elms, named after Mama Elms. We figured that would be pretty apropos since it was her birthday

How sad she couldn't go to the baby shower! Aaron told me Shawna was on bed rest..how miserable. I'm thinking of you Shawna! But at least it's almost over, you guys will have a baby soon!

I'm glad Pepa was there to open presents for Shawna..I love that Pepa.
