Baby Wilson: Showered with Love

In case you haven't heard, the hubs and I are expecting a wee babe. Because of the sizes of our family, we split up the baby showers. His family threw us one and my mom threw us one. We really are so lucky to have such wonderful family and friends that helped make both days extra special. Words cannot begin to express all the love we feel! Everyone was so generous with what they gave us. I don't know what we would do without our family! I just thought I would share some of the photos from both days. :)

This baby is already so loved and it hasn't even arrived yet! I'm so excited that he/she will be arriving very soon. :) We can't wait! Next up, I hope to be posting photos of our finished nursery...

  5. I second Xaarlin's comment - you all look so happy! And I love that dress you had for the second shower! :) It sounds like you both have wonderful, supportive families, which is going to be so awesome as you navigate life as a new parent.

  10. Thanks! The food at both showers was delicious. Both of my families know me well and totally catered the food options to be things that I like. It was really sweet.


    We are getting excited! I might do a post for all the baby prep stuff that has been done. I'm hoping to get the carseat installed today! :)
