Two of my bridesmaids and nearest, dearest friends, Jamee & Lindsay threw the shower for us. It was beyond beautiful and way more than I could have imagined. Then there were the guests. I'm still in shock that so many people were able to make the shower.
I mean, lets be real. Baby showers aren't fun. Neither are wedding showers. But you go to show your support and love for the person it's being thrown for. And there are always people who are busy or can't make it (or just hate showers in general- can't blame them). But in this instance, I invited all of our close friends and Chicago family and was blown away to see that almost everyone came.
It's a double whammy for me, being that we just got married. So just a short year ago, we were asking everyone to come to our wedding showers and bachelor/bachelorette parties, and then travel for our wedding. Now here we are, asking everyone to now shower our child too. It's been a whirlwind of a year for us to say the least. Yesterday just shows how many amazing people we have in our lives. We are beyond lucky.
Here are some pics our friend Nicole was able to capture with the new camera from the day:
Beautiful flowers from the hostesses.
Table setup.
Gifts galore. So many thanks to so many people!
The cutest little baby crasher there ever was!

Our photographer, Nicole.
Although I hate balloons, these ones were perfect.
Thanking everyone for coming. And crying. Hormones.
Guests gather.
Surprise visit from my amazing better half and personal present mule.
"Mom's Sippy Cup" will definitely get a lot of use once baby girl is here.
What'd you do after your baby shower? Oh, you know, went home and drilled some shit.
I should try out for HGTV. The Pregnant Bob Vila.
Enjoying some cocktails with grandma Shay and auntie KK.
Cutest gift presentation ever. Onsies, leggings and socks wrapped up as cupcakes, from cousin Cathy.
