a baby shower!

over the weekend my little sister threw me a baby shower! && let me just say that it was all that i dreamed my baby shower would be and more!

completely beautiful && wonderful.

she made 100% sure that every little detail that my heart desired came to life && that i felt so special. on top of that, we felt SO SO loved by all of the guests that drove, flew, and took time out of their lives to celebrate our little blessing… including my mom who surprised me by driving in from arizona to be there! talk about the greatest gift ever :) God has blessed us with SO many amazing people in our lives && i am just so thankful for their generosity && love! i really don't even know how to describe how grateful i was && STILL am. thank you, thank you, thank you to EVERYONE who made this weekend truly great! i love you!

my bump, my bump, my bump... check it out!

happy monday to you!

people are starting to notice my baby bump! While it may have been slow to show up in the beginning, I think it's making up for lost time now & I couldn't be more thrilled. Someone I didn't even know told me I had a cute baby bump going on this week! Never did I ever think that someone telling me my stomach was anything other than flat would make my day, but the bump is beaming, loud & proud, & I'm feeling more beautiful than ever. What is more beautiful than the little life that is inside of me?! These days, I can think of nothing. I love him so much, and I can't believe that in a few short months, we are going to meet our little blessing in person!

 

Also, today, i felt one of the biggest kicks ever, & could feel either the heel, elbow or fist that it came from! weird! aaaaaand, i think we are getting closer to a name... But THAT is a secret my friends :)
