Once Upon a Shower

Today was Ella's first shower hosted by Allison and her mom Sylvia. It was a fantastic shower and I could not have asked for more.

I would first like to say thanks to Allison. To throw a shower is hard enough but Allison who is working full time, taking classes full time and on top of that had car trouble this week and her phone is broke went above and beyond, like always! Whenever someone offers it means more to me than people could possibly know. The time, energy and money that it takes to throw one is immense and I do not take it for granted!

It might have been a stressful time for her but it was such a great shower. The theme was Once Upon a Time and the gift of choice was a book or a toy (along with other great stuff). Ella is set for her reading time and play time. The turnout was amazing and I am so thankful for everyone who showed up. Kyle, I and Ella feel so loved and we cannot express our appreciation and love for everyone.

Each appetizer was themed after a book; it was very creative.

Thank you so much everyone. We love you all and again are so grateful to have all of you in our lives.

New Zulily Outfit - HELP IT'S AN ADDICTION!!

I am getting so excited! My showers start this weekend. I cannot believe it's already that time and that I have hit my third trimester. It seems just like forever ago that I found out I was pregnant (no, I'm just kidding). Anyways, I know with showers come a lot of clothes and I shouldn't be buying any but I just can't seem to help it!

This is Ella's newest dress. Ballerina Pigs!

P.S. Zulily, is a great place. Two of the 4 outfits in my last post have come in, however instead of sending me the black and white striped they sent me this black and white gingham with a yellow flower. It's cute but not as cute as the other one. So, I called telling them they sent me the wrong outfit and they didn't have any of the ones I ordered in stock so they refunded me the price of the outfit and gave me a $10 credit on my Zulily account and I get to keep the outfit. So, I guess they aren't perfect but they make up for it.
