April Showers Bring May Flowers

I can't believe I failed to explicitly mention my baby shower in my last post!  That's ok though, because it really deserves a post of its own!

There are very few pics where I don't look like a dork (even though M said "you look pretty!" - poor guy doesn't get to see me with my hair done or with makeup on very often lately).  Anyway, here goes with the photos. 

Baby's first Nana card!  (Nana cards are always specially hand-colored!)

Could newborn sized clothes BE any cuter?

This blanket was so soft, I wanted to lay on it!

Ladybug butt!  It's even cute blurry!

I'm really having a GIRL!

The handmade-by-grandma blanket!

Hellooooo everybody!

The handiwork of a talented sister

Yup.  Dork.

It was a wonderful time!  I got to see some of my favorite people, eat some seriously good food, catch up with friends, and "ooh" and "ahh" appropriately over all the cute girl things (and all the little baby baby dolls this girl received! so cute!).

Amigurumi doll made by my sister (she learned how just for me!)

My sisters and mom outdid themselves, I was honored by those who were there in person and in spirit.  I'm never really sure how to adequately respond to the generosity of so many people coming together to make me feel special.

I think the way I respond immediately is by eating my weight in everything sweet, like the cinnamon chips and cream cheese nutella dip my mom made.  And cake, mmmmm cake!

White cake with strawberry mousse filling and buttercream, with pink lemonade cake balls on the side!

And then there's this little gem:

They make bottle feeding look good!

A HUGE and extra special thanks to my sister for being the mastermind and hostess with the mostest! 

It rained and poured with the generous thoughts, presents and presence of so many we love; now we're ready for this little May flower of ours to bloom!
