First Baby Shower
It’s Monday and I’m at home for the day resting from what was a crazy busy but WONDERFUL weekend. Even though I’m exhausted today, I look back at the festivities and would start the weekend over again in a heartbeat! I am so blessed to have family and friends who are so unbelievable, gracious, and generous. The support that I felt from this weekend was a great pregnancy boost now that things are getting harder by the day!
Friday evening my mom and I did some shopping for after baby lounging and nursing clothes, new shoes for my giant swelling feet (size 11 now!!), and a heated back massager for my office chair and car! With some great deals, we got all of our shopping done, picked up dinner, and headed home to lounge for the evening and give the swollen ankles a rest!
Saturday afternoon we welcomed Nicole and Andrew to our house and Brian was prepped for his first official toddler babysitting session during my shower! I’m happy to report that he changed his first real diaper and we returned home to a happy kid after 3 hours – he’ll be a great dad!
The shower itself was so great! An intimate group of good friends, tasty food, CAKE, and very generous gifts! I am so blessed! Special thanks to Darcy, Nicole, Madeline, and Shelly for throwing a great party!
Sunday was a warm and sunny day, perfect for relaxing and chatting with friends! I slowly started to unpack some of the gifts and start some laundry baskets for baby laundry! I knew that you’re supposed to wash the baby clothes before use, but I didn’t realize that all of the other accessories should go through the wash as well! I have piles of towels, sheets, blankets, and misc items piled up and ready to go!
So that brings me to today, I said goodbye the to last of my guests and am now left with a quiet (but clean!) house, and great memories from the weekend. I plan on tackling those laundry piles, organizing the nursery a bit more, starting my thank you notes, and of course, napping! The days keep ticking away, only 45 more to go!

Lisa! You look gorgeous! I love the dress. I keep forgetting to read your blog – I just started using Google reader, so I will definitely add it to the queue.
