Baby boy Duran was showered with love at a baby shower hosted by Cihan Duran. The shower was held at a particularly special time as mom-to-be Merve and dad-to-be Alper Duran had just finished studying for their medical and dental board exams. The couple, who are both from Turkey, first met at the library of Istanbul University, and moved to the U.S. together. Alper was accepted into the radiology residency program at UTMB, and Merve was accepted at Rutgers University School of Dentistry. The future grandparents are thrilled to welcome the first grandchild on both sides. Pictured are (from left) Munevver Duran, future grandmother Cihan Duran, dad-to-be Alper Duran, mom-to-be Merve Duran, future grandfather Ahmet Duran and Elif Duran.
