My wonderful friends Jenni, Liz, and Lindsey planned an awesome surprise baby shower for me. I was COMPLETELY surprised. I was told that I was going out to dinner for a gir's night because T.D. was moving to Washington and we were saying goodbye to her. I fell for it hook, line, and sinker. My husband drove me to Jenni's house to drop me off so we could "carpool to the restaurant." Once we were at her house, her 5 year old son said that his mommy was "still getting ready for the baby shower." Still completely unsuspecting, I thought to myself, "Silly 5 year old, you must be mistaken, we are going out to dinner, we aren't going to a baby shower." Needless to say, poor Jenni was a little flustered when I saw her and thought that I had figured it out, but I'm so oblivious and trusting that I didn't even get it. I didn't pick up any of the ques and didn't fully realize what was going on even after we got to Liz's house.

Lindsey organized the games and it was a blast having her, Metta, my mother-in-law, and Ericka all visiting at the perect time for me.

Farewell T.D. This picture says it all. We love our friend T.D. and still miss her. We hope that she is doing well in Washington now.

My mother-in-law was a hoot. She had just gotten in that day (she flew in from Utah) and was in on the whole surprise. She didn't lead on at all. She totally hung with us younger girls and played along in all the games that night.

I love these girls. They are so awesome. I think this was the funnest baby shower I have ever been to.

This baby is going to be so spoiled with all the great stuff people gave to me. Thank you everyone for your generosity! Also, I have to call her "this baby" because Jimmy and I still haven't named her yet. I know, pathetic isn't it? We have to middle name picked out but we are still kinda battleing out the first name. I think that I should be able to choose the first name since he chose the middle name, but it doesn't always work that way. Mabe I should talk to him more about it when I have just gone through labor and his defenses are down :) j/k At least we aren't having a boy again because I don't want to have to convince him that we aren't going to name our baby "rock", or "titus," or "coal," or "tuff," anything else that might sound good over a loud speaker at a football stadium. At least most of the girl names he likes are a little more normal than that:)

Haha! Yes, Janny suggested that we build a pyrmid with me on top. These girls are so much fun. They are crazy. You wouldn't think, under normal circumstances, that having a pregnant lady kneeling on you would be such a fun experience, but we had a blast.

Here are some pictures of us surfing down in Waikiki. I have to paddle on my knees because my belly is too big now. Yep, I'm still trying to surf. Why give it up now? :) People's reaction to the "preganant lady surfing" is pretty funny sometimes.

Our wonderful friend Ericka came out to visit. She lives in Utah now but she used to live in Kailua. We love her to death. This was taken at my house. We had a book club with crepes and the works for eating.

We also went to Lanikai and did lots of other fun activities.

Jimmy took his mom on a hike with his boy scout troop on Saturday morning. He didn't know that it was going to be such a rigorous hike. It's a good thing Lynda is a pretty tough lady because it was quite a hike, so I heard.

They had a beautiful view of the Koolau mountains.

Just another cute photo of Jimmy and Carley getting out of the water.
