Dear Conrad,
We had a small shower for you at Poppy and Gigi's house on August 11th during our last visit to Arkansas before you were born. A friend of mine from college, Charity, hosted it. I wish I had a picture of the invitations, because they were very geeky, just like your mom and dad. If I remember correctly, they featured a pregnant Princess Daisy, which probably looked something like this:
I know, son. Your momma is a little weird.
You got lots of clothes at the baby shower, and I was worried about you not being able to wear all of them, but you ended up being a smaller baby so the outfits got plenty of wear before you grew out of them. People also gave us a few things from our registry, like a Bumbo from Gigi's friend Renae, a baby-to-toddler rocking chair from Aunt Christy, and the stroller/carseat combo from Poppy and Gigi. A few people gave us diapers, but I have learned that once you become a mom, you never have enough diapers.

| Cake! The table was decorated with a quilt from Nana, plus clothes that Poppy and Gigi and I had already bought for you. |

| Diaper cake! |

| Aunt Christy. This shower taught me that neither Gigi nor Nana can be expected to take all the pictures unless I'm okay with them being dark and/or blurry, haha. |

August is also your momma's birthday (don't forget that, okay?) and we hit 31 weeks on my 26th birthday. Your daddy snapped a picture of us:
