As I mentioned in my last post, I had a Baby Shower. It’s kind of funny, but you realize all of a sudden that you pretty much only get two days like that ever, your wedding shower and your baby shower, where there is a lovely party where people bring you presents and it’s all about you. Many wonderful friends came, and a few were dearly missed.
We had NOTHING before the shower. Well, we had a crib with no mattress, but that’s about it. Now, we’re sort of ready! We have a car seat, which apparently they won’t let you have your baby without, TWO strollers, a crib mattress, bedding, clothes, a hooter hider, blankets, a baby maintenance kit, an ergo, and lots of other stuff I’m forgetting. My friends did so well with their presents. There wasn’t anything that we didn’t need.
That night, I washed everything and put it away and suddenly our baby’s room looked like it was ready for a baby. SB kept saying, “Oh my god, we’re having a baby.” Um, yes. Yes we are.
Anyway, here are some pictures of the lovely day. My friend T who is the most Martha-iest of my friends, hosted a brunch with so much yummy food. It was all perfect. I was astounded by the kindness and generosity of my friends. I am such a lucky woman!
So glad you had a good time, but so sad I missed it!
As I looked through the photos I was sort of shouting those pictured in this sad (but so happy for you) way.
Glad it was grand & can’t wait to hear more deets next time we talk.

wish we did more baby showers over here in UK, they look such happy occasions and so useful too. I have never heard of of a hooter hider though – they certainly dont sell them in H&M – we have 2 in Liverpool now too, I’ve spent all evening reading zesty. now i have a laptop i will probably be in touch more as i can sit in front of the fire and browse away without getting cold in the spare room. you look fab preggers x
So sad to be there, but so happy to see so many of my favorite women in one room celebrating you!
