Our little one is so loved and s/he doesn't even know it yet! We feel so lucky and blessed already with this miracle and then we have all these wonderful friends and family that are so supportive and happy for us.
Here's a recap of the fun baby showers that were held for us thus far...
My high school girlfriends, most of which live in Chicago, came to visit for a weekend back in January. It was so fun to see them and catch up! During their visit, they threw me a surprise shower and brought lots of goodies for sweet baby Day! I don't have a picture from the shower part but we did document the weekend with this pic...baby Clara even made the trek!
My college friends threw us a wonderful dual, couple's shower. My friend Krystle was due 7 days before me so we decided to have a joint shower which was super fun! These event planner girls know how to bring out all the stops...here are few pics!
