Week 35 - Baby Shower

Hi!

On June 6th some of my very best friends threw me (and Maddie) and WONDERFUL baby shower. It was so nice and elegant and BIG! There were probably 45 people there. It meant so much to me to have my friends from Atlanta, my best friends from NJ, my moms friends from Atlanta and family from Virgina and Buffalo all in for the occasion. This child is already so loved and it means so much to us!!

Here are some pictures from the day. Madelyn received so many gifts - I am STILL trying to sort threw all of them. This child is definitely spoiled but loved nonetheless.















The girls that threw the shower: Heather, Kim, Shelli and Lisa














All of the gifts! It took 2 hours to open them all!















"Prego" amongst the presents




















An afghan my friend Jody knit for Maddie! Adorable!















The "Jersey" sweatshirt my friends from NJ gave Maddie. She's part Jersey girl afterall...


"Nonna" got some cute gifts too!



















Yes! She is spoiled! And YES - that's a tiny blue box. Mom and dad got Maddie her first Tiffany item! A silver rattle!
















The frame that all the guests signed with messages to Maddie! This will be hanging in her room.
Thanks again for everyone's love and support and excitement for our baby girl. We can't wait for her arrival.
Love to all,
A

Hi!
Thought I would post some pictures from the baby shower that my work friends threw me and my other pregnant friend, Stefanie. It was so nice and they got us some really cute and useful gifts. They really all out did themselves.

Things are good here. Getting excited about my "outside of work" baby shower this weekend.

I'm feeling pretty good. Friday was a rough day - went to bed on Thursday with swollen ankles and woke up with swollen ankles. By the end of the day, I had lower back pain. I think I have just been doing too much! Time to start saving my energy and resting...something I am not used to!

Anyway - I'll post more pictures after my shower this weekend.

Love you all,
Alyssa
