First Baby Shower at 29 Weeks!



Yesterday my sweet girlfriends - Kelly, Kristy, Jenny, and Jennifer - hosted a baby shower for me and Kins! These four girls are 4 of my best friends since college and were 4 my bridesmaids that threw me a bridal shower in the very same house a little over 6 years ago. And while Kelly lives out in the 'burbs of Atlanta like us(but in the opposite direction), Kristy drove in Savannah, Jennifer drove in with her 2 boys from DC, and Jenny flew all the way in from Ithaca, NY! It was so special and sooo much appreciated that all four of them were here! We had a great time catching up and laughing before and after the party...ahem, laughing a little too hard a times! And here are we now. I sat in the same chair yesterday to open baby gifts that I sat in 6 years ago to open wedding gifts. Funny how life comes full circle!


This shower was our traditional get-together of Alpha Chi's from college that always celebrate one-another's baby showers, weddings, bridal showers, and Christmas! My mom, Philip's mom, Angela and Kelly (the soon-to-be aunts) were also there! And I absolutely had a blast! It was the first time I was like, "hey, all of this pink stuff is for me...this is real...not much longer before she's here!" We got adorable girlie clothes, useful new-mom stuff, and lots of special new-baby items for Kinsley that will make my life easier for sure. Every detail was so perfect, from the food, to the decorations, to the games...all
I can say is thank you...I feel blessed to know that our sweet girl will have so many of my girlfriends waiting to meet her one day soon!
