Baby showers have been an elusive or tough event in my life. I've been pregnant 5 times now, and I've had your traditional big baby shower twice - once for my daughter 20 years ago and another for my firstborn son 9 years ago. And hey, I completely understand that's typically one more than most people! However since my firstborn son arrived in 2002, each pregnancy has presented its own challenges in allowing my best friend to throw her own unique celebrations for each new baby. Mind you, I have no need for new baby products for each new pregnancy and instead appreciate the thought that goes into trying to simply celebrate this new life as well as new stage in my own life. My previous two pregnancies seemed determine to end with nary a nod to my burgeoning belly, esp. thanks to an early emergency cesarean with Landon. Which is why I was so pleased and grateful that my friend was able to finally celebrate (and in style!) this latest pregnancy with all of our girlfriends.
The party was held at my friend Erin's house.
There was wonderful food...
Peg's daughter, Emma, worked her magic as a henna artist...
Beautiful, isn't it? All the names of my family are included in the Tree of Life except the baby's which we were keeping somewhat of a secret at the time...
Fun and laughter abounded...
And everybody had a chance to get "inked"...
Thank you, dear friends.
