Surprise Skype Shower

This past Saturday some friends and family organized a surprise skype baby shower for me!  The plan was for me to 'test out' a new group skype with Lisa and my mom to see if it is something we can do once the baby gets here.  Well, when I signed on Saturday morning, I was VERY surprised to see everyone on our TV screen!  


As many of you know, I am NOT a fan of showers but this one was fairly painless for me... I think my mom had the hard part of hosting everyone. 


We are very blessed to have such great family and friends and are constantly amazed at their thoughtfulness and generosity. 

Dave started out in the morning saying he wanted to take pics of me throughout the day of everyday activities so Baby Dora can see what life was like before she arrived (I guess washing dishes is an everyday activity)

Shock of seeing everyone on Skype!!

Picture from my mom's house - she had the computer hooked up to the TV so it was easier to see everyone

Dave hooked our computer up to the TV as well.  Earlier last week he went to the store to get the correct HDMI cable and has been obsessing about hooking it up.  I kept asking him what he wanted to watch that wasn't on our TV and he kept telling me Florida games that were being broadcast on ESPN3.com.  Never saw that one coming. 

One of the many FUN gifts we received!  We can't wait to go hiking!!!

I've got to give a TON of credit to Dave!  He could have taken the easy road and let my family/friends plan everything but he truly went above and beyond making it "Laura's Day!" 

Showers are exhausting!  Taking a break before we hit the beach for the rest of the afternoon.
