I showered!

Saturday was my baby shower!  I had such a wonderful time.  My sister-in-law, Kim, coordinated and planned the shower and my friend, Laralyn, came up with the games.  It was a small, intimate shower, and we had a lot of fun with the games we played and it was wonderful to be able to chat with everyone and I felt so special.  I couldn't believe how generous everyone was--even friends who couldn't make it sent along beautiful gifts. 

The shower was at a cute little tea room and chocolate shop on Chicago's north side.  We had different teas, cookies, chocolates and tea sandwiches which were all elegantly served.  All the guests seemed to get along well and I didn't have to do anything except enjoy myself!

Unfortunately, the pictures I took at the shower didn't turn out, so hopefully someone else took some and will send them to me!

We received so many generous gifts that I can't share them all here, but I did want to show off some of the personalized gifts we received--it's so cool to know that our daughter is the only little girl who will have these!

Our friends Kelly and Jason sent out a beautiful needle pointed bib that says "Somebunny loves you" and has bunnies jumping all around and colorful little flowers on it.  We love it and it means so much that someone took the time to make that for our little girl!

Also, Kim made some adorable onesies!  The first says "Aunts Rock,"

the second "Photo with Baby 25 cents,"

and the last says "NEW!" on the front and "SCENTED" on the bum--so funny!

We loved all the cute little (and big!) things we were lucky enough to receive and having all of her baby things together makes it feel like she's so much closer to being here.

It was a wonderful day, and thank you again to everyone who made it so special!
