Spoiled Already!

On November 9th, I jetted to Atlanta for my first baby shower.  It was such a special weekend for me.  My grandmother, mom, and younger sister, Katelyn, all made the trip.  I was also able to spend time with childhood friends, college friends, and many family members.  The cankles I got after the flight were totally worth it! The shower took place at Tara's house and four of my closest friends helped her throw the most incredible brunch complete with made to order omlettes and waffles.  Pink and grey vintage details covered my sister's house and it was just my style.  I was so overwhelmed by the sweet gifts I received.  Reese is definitely spoiled already!  The day made the fact that I am having a baby soon much more real. 

The day after my shower, Preston celebrated his one year old birthday!  That same day, I helped throw a baby shower for my dear friend, Kristen.  She is having baby Jackson one month before I have Reese.  Needless to say, it was a fun filled weekend full of parties.  Leaving Atlanta was especially difficult for me this time.  I probably won't be returning until the summer.  For the past 4 years, I have made it a habit to fly down every other month or more.  So...Georgia gals, come to Missouri for a visit anytime!  You are missed!  Little Reese would also love to meet you. 

My two oldest nieces, Reagan and Caroline.  They now play "baby shower" and shove baby dolls up their shirts.  Sorry, Tara and Philip. 

The banner was made by my sweet and talented mom.  She will be the best Gigi to Reese.

This was the mimosa and bloody mary bar.  I was not able to partake, but it was beautiful.  The "R" sign was also a gift from the hostesses.  It will hang above Reese's crib.

My best friend, Maggie, filled this awesome bucket with the most adorable gifts!  Loving all the headbands.

Thanks again to my friends and family for making this time for me so special.  I guess there are some positive side effects to this whole pregnancy thing after all.  :)
