Sunday was like Christmas times a million for Joe and I! My parents hosted a BEAUTIFUL Baby Shower for us at Prairie Landing Golf Course. Joe and I were blown away by how generous everyone was and all the wonderful gifts given to us for our little peanut.
We feel so blessed and loved that everyone is so excited for our upcoming addition to our family. It was so great to see our friends and family coming together to spend the day with us. A lot of people said they think I look like I am having a boy, which Joe was happy about, but I still think it's a girl. We'll just have to see :)
Above and beyond all of the adorable baby clothes, books and necessities like a stroller, pack-n-play and bouncer, we received some gorgeous handmade gifts as well. One of my best friends Jenni made us an adorable teddy bear blanket and my Aunt Nancy and cousin Brittany created a masterpiece for our little baby to sleep on. Our bedding is soo cute!! One-of-a-kind and perfect!
Sunday night I came home from the shower and quickly began putting everything away. At the end of the day, I sat in my glider from my aunts Sandy, Patty, Susan, Debbie and Candie and read a little of one of my many pregnancy books. And as my Uncle Joe told my aunt Nancy, “she is going to need another little pillow for the glider to put behind her sore back”(which she then whipped up in an hour the night before my shower!) I put that cute little handmade teddybear pillow behind me and I couldn’t have been happier.
I know this was a long one, but I couldn’t help but share all the details.
Thank you again so so much to everyone who was able to make it, and we appreciate your generous gifts more than you could know!
I will post pictures of the day and of my growing belly soon :)
Due to my lovely husband’s need for knee surgery, we had to get a jumpstart on our nursery. After the surgery, he won’t be up for much painting and putting together cribs, so we thought we would get it all done before he has it.
We finished painting, well Joe finished painting. He did an awesome job and tonight we will be beginning to put together the crib. Actually, knowing me, even if I have to stay up until 3:00 am, I WILL finish it! I can’t wait to see what it will look like when it’s all done!
Baby Santilli already has a job for next year! He/she gets to be a ring bearer or flower girl for my BFF Sara and her fiancé Bill’s wedding. How cute is that?!?
The top photo is the little peanuts profile and little arms and hands. The bottom one is the little crossed legs. So cute :) Made it easier for us to not find out if its a boy or girl, because he or she doesn't seem to want us to know either!
