I feel extremely blessed to have such wonderful women and friends in my life and felt very honored that so many of them wanted to give me & baby a special shower. I owe a very special thanks to Parrish, who put such hard work into organizing and the decorations, even while being ready to pop with her very own baby #1. Also, a huge thanks to Jessica, who hosted the shower at her place, even while being 5 months pregnant and with a napping almost 2 year old upstairs. There are so many other woman who contributed and helped make my shower just perfect including Izzy, Mel, Alison, Brooke, Sarah, Blaire, Carol and Anna. Thank you all for being such awesome, amazing women. I feel blessed to call you all friends!
Here I am all gussied up for the shower at 33 weeks:
Here's Rowan Thor, Mr. Bear, and Cheeta Cub preparing for my shower:
Here are some pictures from my shower. The food was absolutely fabulous with all of my favorites - crabcakes, kale salad, quinoa salad, fruit salad, deviled eggs and more. The decorations were beautiful and perfect for a gender neutral shower. (I know I made it hard on Parrish by not finding out the gender of the baby, but she rose to the challenge, of course!) The cake, made by the fabulous Anna of Lovely Lady Cakes, was beautiful and delicious. The candy favors were perfect for this sugarholic!
Many thanks to all of my favorite ladies who contributed, who attended and who made me feel so very special. I couldn't have asked for a better day!
