Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy it's my Baby Shower


Five of my sweetest friends hosted the most adorable baby shower for the triplets. I should preface this by saying my friends completely SPOIL me, no matter what the occasion; birthday, Christmas, you name it they always do something. Sometimes I feel like the world's worst friend, because I am never as thoughtful as each of them. So of course they offered to have a baby shower for the triplets. At first I was hesitant to go along with their plan. I really don't like to draw attention to myself, (which I am going to have to get over with triplets) but I just didn't want to inconvenience anyone or have people think I expected gifts in threes. So I agreed to a very intimate shower with close friends.
Angela, Me, Paige & Libby, Julie, Ashley & Molly Kate...just missing Angela & Lucy




Yesterday was a day that I will never forget. It was so special to see friends and family from throughout my life all be together. Old and new friends who are so dear to me, friends that prayed for me, cried with me, and special friends of my mom's who have prayed for me since I was in middle school. I loved the fellowship so much.


I was given SO many adorable baby gifts and of course everything came in three's and matched! Everyone was extremely generous and spoiled me rotten. I hope I can make everyone feel half as special as they made me feel yesterday.

The shower was originally going to be at Angela's house, but in the midst of planning her house sold! So I offered up my house since I am on bed rest aka "house arrest" and 30 weeks along. It was such a motivator to get my house in order before the babies arrive in 5 weeks!! We moved to our house four months ago and we are still getting settled. I have already re-arranged the living room since the shower to make it more comfy for when the boys arrive. It now has a cozy recliner! Anyway, after the shower was over everyone carried my lute upstairs to the nursery. It was so nice not to have to pack and unpack everything.... and way more efficient I might add!

So it was a perfect ending to a perfect day. Thanks to everyone who came and shared this day with me. I will always remember how much time was invested into making me feel so loved.

Here are just a few of the adorable things I received for the boys......
