Operation Baby Bwick Baby Shower

A huge thank you to everyone who participated in the baby shower!  We had so much fun opening each gift and feeling the love from everyone.  We really appreciate all the gifts and we know the baby will too.

Also, thanks to Jessica and Ralph for spending the day with us and acting as photographer and official tape cutter.

It's hard to tell who is more excited to play with this, Donovan or the baby.  Thanks Grandma Connie and Grandpa Rob!

Thanks Grandma Doris and Grandpa Galen for the changing station, sleep sack, and mattress pad!

Much like changing a diaper, unwrapping the changing pad was a two-man job.  Thanks Grandma Doris and Grandpa Galen!

Thanks again to everyone!  We look forward to sharing the first baby pictures in just a few weeks.

A Baby Shower

Last week, my bestie Jessica threw me a fabulous baby shower with all of my closest friends here in Italy.  The afternoon tea theme perfectly fit the dreary, rainy day as we spent several hours sipping tea, opening gifts, and celebrating little Baby Bwick.  

"Baby Love" cupcakes

Lots of yummy treats

Many kinds of tea to choose from

Gorgeous flower arrangements

The adorable favors

I can't wait to read to the baby!

Guessing the size of my belly

Beautiful wishes for the baby

This baby is already so loved.  Thanks for the awesome shower Jessica!
