We are quite lucky to have wonderful friends and family members who have made us feel so special since finding out we’re expecting. To that end, several have offered to throw us baby showers for the little guy. I’ve thrown a lot of baby showers in my day, but having a shower hosted for you is a whole new experience. Ryan and I are quite thankful for all the generous people in our lives.
Our first shower was last weekend, a couples’ shower hosted by our friends Brian and Jessi. Brian was Ryan’s best man in our wedding and a really good childhood friend. We’re quite thankful for the both of them.
We lucked out and had fabulous 80 degree weather (In Illinois! In March!), so we got to sit out on the patio and enjoy the sunshine and fabulous brunch food with some of our favorite people. Including both of our parents, who are quite smitten with Baby Dub already.
All-in-all, the three of us (Ryan, Dub and I) are feeling quite thankful! Made for a lovely end to the weekend.
What a fabulous week back in the Quad Cities. You have some very special friends. We are so thankful we were included in this special event!
That looks like the perfect shower on a perfect day. So nice having all those people spoil ya, isn’t it? Those darn babies need SO much crap, even if people tell you otherwise. Btw, your parents and your in-laws all look like they are just the nicest people ever. Can I be in your family? I bring with me a cute kid, a nice husband and fair baking skills. Please submit my application 🙂
How fun!! I have my shower on Saturday, can’t wait! I’ll be curious to hear how you like the Moby wrap – I’ve heard great things but then I was just gifted a sling so I’m thinking about foregoing the wrap. Hmm.
So fun!! You look beautiful, my friend. Love that polka dot top. Also–I hope we’re good enough blog buddies that I can say this–your boobs look awesome. I’m incredibly jealous. (Please don’t ban me from your blog.)
(You’ll love the Moby wrap. It was the only way Quinn would nap in the early days!)
We had a beautiful weekend here, too – I’m so glad you got the pretty weather for your first shower! Looks like fun – and yay for a Moby wrap!
YEAH YEAH!!! Glad to see the ladies love the baby hammock I got you. Sorry I couldn’t make it. Looks like you had fun.
What great weather and great fun! You look fabulous! And I loved the Moby for the first four months….hope you do too!
i seriously can’t get over what an adorable preggo you are! seriously, you are just glowing!!
you really lucked out with the weather!
Oh, baby showers. The true test of friendship. I like the couples shower idea. Make the husband suffer too.
You and your belly are looking mighty adorable!
P.S. That was my last comment…didn’t want you to think you had a creepy anonymous poster!! I accidentally hit it too soon!
Looking good, K!
Yay for showers! And hasn’t the weather been awesome this spring? No complaints around here either.
Aww yay! Looks like you had a blast! Baby’s do come with a lot of stuff, don’t they?
Woot! Moby wrap!! Excellent choice :).
We’ve been enjoying wonderful weather as well here in MO… I love your photos you look adorable, pregnant looks good on you :o)
PS: You’ll have to tell us how the Moby works I’m curious. XO.
I love this weather! Looks like it was a great weekend for a shower. I love baby stuff, especially tiny shoes.
That looks like perfect weather for a shower! And I love that you sat outside! It’s so good to have caring friends.
The weather looked amazing! I love that your husband got in on the action. You’re a lucky lady.
Aw, so sweet!! You enjoy this special time!!!
Looks like the perfect day! Love the pics!
So fun!! You look fantastic, by the way. I helped my sister set up one of her registries and I was also blown away by the sheer amount of STUFF. High maintenance babies, I tell ya. I’m glad you got some help filling the nursery!
Looks like you had ideal weather! How great that you have friends and family so close by. Enjoy all the treats!
