Showered with Love

I can't believe how quickly my pregnancy is flying by now!  The first 20 weeks felt SLOW.  The fact that I was nauseous and exhausted probably didn't help.  Now that I feel great and normal, the weeks seem to be going faster and faster!

We only have 75 days until Baby Girl makes her grand debut (plus or minus a few..)!  Now that I am in the third trimester home stretch, the fun begins!  We are putting together (well, actually just starting) the nursery, shopping for decor, and the best part... having baby showers!  

My sweet co-workers put on a joint shower for my friend Jenn and I last week.  I was so blessed by their kindness and thoughtful gifts.  Let's just say that our daughter is going to be well dressed!  I feel so thankful to work with a great group of people!

This past Sunday, my Mom and sisters threw me a beautiful baby shower with our family and friends.  I was blown away with their attention to detail, creativity, and all the time and energy they put into the whole day.  

Thank you Mom (the mastermind behind the day), Dad (the bartender and token male), Cristina (the amazing baker), and Emily (the gal behind all the decorations)!  

                                            I'm not expressive AT ALL.  Nope.  Not me ;)  

                                              But really, how adorable is that peacoat?!

The shower was a day full of laughter!   The best story of the day is by far the story of "The Bouncers".  

One of the places I am registered at is Target.  I am not sure what was going on with Target's registry that weekend, but there were some glitches in the system!  For whatever reason, the system was not "registering" when people bought gifts.  

As a result, I received not one, not two.... but FIVE bouncer seats!  It makes for a hilarious story and the pictures capturing my face are fantastic.  Maybe I should keep all five and just have a bouncer in every room of our house?!  Luckily, my registry is now fixed and I am good to go in the area of bouncers!!

                                                                           Bouncer #3

                                                                  Bouncer # 5 

                 (missing a photo of number four, but I think you get the idea!!)

Thank you to everyone who came and made my day so memorable and special.  I am thankful for all the lovely people in my life and I can't wait to introduce our little girl to each of you!  She already has such fabulous people in her life!
