Summer has felt so far away since I found out I was pregnant...we were surrounded by pumpkins, fall leaves, and the anticipation of Christmas. Summer would be the time when we would meet our sweet baby and now we are exactly one month away from our due date. Martin and I have been using the past few weeks to prepare and finish up last minute details, but one of the biggest events that I was looking forward to the most was my baby shower! My good friend Marlena along with my sisters and mom put together a beautiful afternoon full of pretty pink things with my close family and friends!
One of my favorite gifts is my Blessing Bracelet. Each guest wrote out a blessing for me and the baby. As they read their card out loud we strung a bead on a string to turn into a bracelet. I'm to wear my bracelet until labor is over and use it as a focus...remembering all those women in my life who are standing behind me and supporting me as I begin this new journey of motherhood.
It was a special day and I loved your bracelet and all the words of wisdom that went along with it.
