Baby Shower

On August 22nd, I had the most beautiful baby shower that I could have hoped to have. All of my friends and family were there to make it an incredibly special day. My amazing mother-in-law and sister-in-law were instrumental in planning everything and truly taking all of the stress off of me because I didn't have to lift a finger for the entire event. Jena also helped to plan the shower and my Dad was kind enough to pay for half of the food. A special thanks too to Tracy and Danielle and Val who helped with the decorating and clean up, and to everyone who helped to cook. I just showed up that day and got to enjoy myself! It was really fun opening all of the lovely and generous gifts, and getting to see all of my loved ones, old and new friends alike, gathered in one place.

It was an emotional day to begin with being just about 8 months pregnant at the time, but Jena made it even more so when she gave Baby Emma the afghan that my mother had knitted for Brody before he was born. It was such a sweet gift and it truly touched my heart. I know that my Mom was there watching us in that moment.

Kim also gave Baby Emma a lovely and sentimental gift - a Disney book called "Lady" that her grandmother (Emma's namesake) used to read to her when she was little. Her sweet inscription to her niece was just beautiful.

I honestly couldn't ask for more generous and caring friends and family. Baby Emma is going to be surrounded by so many people who love her! Thank you everyone for making my shower such a happy and memorable event. I love you all.
