I showered.. we had a rain shower.. then we celebrated my shower..

May 15th, 2011

my first diaper cake :)

whew.. that’s a whole lot of showers for one day!! Today was my baby shower.. and I felt the love!  we gathered.. we ate.. we caught up.. we ate some more.. (there is one cupcake left staring at me from across the room that has my name on it ;) my baby was spoiled.. and now.. I rest.. while my legs continue to buzz..

there is something so sweet about receiving gifts from your loved ones that are such a reflection of yourself and your soon to be baby.. everything we received were things that I had either thought of buying.. or had in my hand and wanted to buy.. or just because they know that Spotted Cow is my favorite local coffee shop.. 

to be honest.. I never thought I was making it to this shower.. I 100% thought my bundle would be here.. but alas.. she is not.. although I still have a couple of hours ;)  I feel like now this child can come.. Olive was very confused why the “peasants” coming into the house were not for her.. so daddy took her to Toys r Us  to get a treater of her own.. I always love seeing what they will come home with.. in this case.. a Thomas the train cell phone.. and her first.. gulp.. purse.. and she freakin loves it.. keys.. lipstick.. and a comb that all fit nicely inside.. 

ok. do these new giant lips have to go away!! I am lovin them.. 

Thank you to everyone who came.. especially those who hopped on a plane from Utah.. thank you for the love and surprises.. Thank you to James and Dom for the fun party! and the decorations that I am SO leaving up for the next couple of days..  

ok.. time to rest :)
