Baby Shower

Recently was my baby shower and I had such an amazing time. My sisters and mother in law put it all together and it was adorable. The food was great and seeing everyone made me so happy!
I even got to see my aunt Debbie who I hadn't seen in years, and that was a great surprise.
I do feel like I didn't get to introduce people correctly or have long enough conversations with everyone but I guess that's normal supposedly, LOL. The favors were little vials of loose tea that said drink me, like in Alice in Wonderland. The baked Ziti was to die for and the meatballs and chicken francese was delish! I cant even pretend to forget about the pastry tarts...O.M.G. One of the cutest and my favorite touches to the party were the ball jars with pink lemonade with adorable straws to drink from. It definitely made me smile!
I didn't get to try the tea sandwiches because they went so fast but i heard they were pretty special :)
We played a few games and the gifts were very cute. I also received some amazing gifts and I couldn't be more thankful! We were lucky and the weather actually turned out to be perfect and quite warm! I loved every bit of my shower and I owe a very special thanks to everyone who made it out to spend the say with me and an extra special thanks to Maureen, Tara, Nancy, Jaynie, Taylor, Dineen and Mo Flax. You ladies are the best <3 xoxo

Looking forward to: finding a dress for my shower

Shopping is hard.

Hello! So I've been trying to find cute, flattering clothes that will fit my belly and I've been having a hard time.

Every time I go into a maternity section the clothes are awfully boring and way overpriced. So I've been settling for leggings and maternity tank tops to pair with my already loose fitting clothing. Its so not fun. I love fashion and dressing myself but not right now. I honestly want to lay in sweats and Tommy's super soft teeshirts all day long. And as for the days where I feel like dressing up, well, that changes quickly. Which is also why I'm having such a hard time finding a dress for my shower. I tried on a few this weekend and like an idiot, I grabbed a small in one dress and was QUICKLY baffled by how far up my legs it didn't go! Haha. Granted I did find one dress that I loved and was perfect for the theme of my shower, THE ZIPPER WAS BROKEN. I should have bought it anyway and just had it fixed but I didn't because I knew the dress was on Forever21.com. OR so I thought. It's gone. So now I don't know what to do. LOL But I did get this great sweater, It was perfect for describing what was inside my belly.
