Finally wrapping up the Baby Shower posts – I had my shower from my gym friends on Saturday, March 11th and we had a blast. I was 100% less nervous since everyone already knew each other (and a lot of them came straight from the gym).

We had a great time, ate LOTS of lasagna and eggplant Parmesan and dug through gifts. I was so excited to be given a baby carrier (which was then worn at home with Marvin to test it out) among other fantastic gifts.

It was a blast and my friend Cara and her husband Brian did a great job hosting. Sadly (maybe) some of the photos were a bit dark, so the photo of me wrapping myself in tape to figure out who estimated the size of my stomach the best (Haley G – good job!) are not included here. I laughed, though, saying it was probably my worst nightmare in another life – standing in front of 30 people from the crossfit gym estimating how big my stomach was!

I’ve now written the majority of all my thank you notes and have been given about 1,000 gifts. It has been a huge deal for me to have so many people excited for me (us) in so many different ways. Thanks to all of you.
