Bella and I had our baby shower yesterday and it was AWESOME. Nothing different from any other baby shower, we all agree there is nothing overly exciting about any type of shower but for me it was one more thing to help convince me of the reality that i DO have a baby now. Even though I see her and hold her every day it's still hard to believe at times.
When Jamie and I were still in NC i told him how I pictured driving home with Bella for the first time and "It's a Girl" balloons would be hanging out in front of our house, in my mind that's what happens when people come home from the hospital for the first time with their baby. Does it really happen? I don't know but it does in the movies, lol. Anyway no balloons when we came home, of course not, Jamie was with me and our families do not live close by, no biggie. So the day of the shower I go to get my hair cut, i'm driving home, turn down my street and I can see beautiful shiny balloons swaying outside my house. Seriously the smile on my face was so huge, I could have cried (first of many times that day!).
About 20 minutes later I'm in my room changing Bella when out of the corner of my eye I see my shiny pink balloons float away!!! haha..I was sooo upset I yelled "my balloons are flying away!"...the next thing I see is Jamie getting in the car. About 15 minutes later he comes home with new It's a Girl balloons. I'm not sure he knows how much that meant to me, I know it seems so simple, it's usually the smallest details that are so important and for me that was huge.
The shower was great. The weather was awesome. I had a great time seeing everyone and them meeting Bella for the first time. I have waited and dreamed of this day for so long and honestly it was a bonus having Bella there vs being pregnant, I absolutely loved it. We received so many awesome gifts, two won the Tear Jerker Award! lol
My Aunt Annie knew I wanted to remember this whole journey so she printed my blog and made it into a book...YUP, tear jerker! I absolutely love it!
How she found this, i have no idea. Mel, this is so awesome!!
