Showered with love...

So Sunday Feb 17 was baby shower day! And Baby B were you ever showered with love, affection and sooooooo much stuff!
It was an amazing albeit overwhelming day.
Nancy, Leslie and Becca did an amazing job - they did a tea-party theme and it turned out beautifully.
There were family and friends from all over and lots of super cute babies/children. We had delicious sandwiches, fruit, veggies, all kinds of other appetizers and of course, a beautiful tea themed cake!

 

We received so many lovely presents and hardly have anything left to buy to prepare for B's arrival!
There were games and prizes and we received the most beautiful present we could have ever asked for. Many of our family and friends contributed pieces to a quilt that Leslie put together. It's a beautiful keepsake that will always remind B how loved he or she is by our family and friends.

Now just a few last things to pick up and we're good to go! If anything this shower served as a reminder of how lucky we are to have such amazing people in our lives. Our baby is blessed already.

And to end, one last pic of momma B on shower day ;)

So Brent and I decided it would be important to have a weekend away before baby B arrives.
We took off Friday Feb 8 to Niagara Falls! It was HORRIBLE weather. So bad that they closed the office early (which has never happened in the 6 years I've worked there!). I thought that we were going to have to cancel but Brent thought we could push through.
It was a slooooooooow drive but soooooo worth it! 4 hours to get there but we were so happy we decided to go.
We had the most perfect weekend. Lots of relaxing, beautiful views of the falls, a shopping trip (and Brent didn't even complain!), casino (no big wins unfortunately), swimming in the pool, AMAZING food... and of course, wonderful company ;)

I'm so glad we made the time/effort to get away together before baby B's arrival. I know there will be so many changes once our prince or princess arrives and it just reassured me that our relationship is more than ready. Baby B - I hope you always know how much your parents love each other and how you will be the perfect addition to our family.
The next vacation we go on will be the three of us!

Happy Valentine's Day
