Months ago a sweet family friend, Ms. Sandra, told me she wanted to throw me a baby shower. I must admit in that moment I was excited because she has always done things over-the-top and just beautiful. Even steak dinners at her house with the singles group years ago were always over and beyond what a typical dinner would be. She's someone you'd want to throw a party and have an invite to. :) It was so thoughtful of her to host a shower for me. I cannot even remember when I met Ms. Sandra, I've always known her and her family. Her son and I grew up together and when I go to their home, I feel like I'm at my own house.
We enjoyed a beautiful brunch with all of my favorite lady friends in attendance (well, most of them...some couldn't make it due to prior engagements). We had a great crowd there to celebrate Miss Lilly Rose. There were "Lillie's" and "Roses" everywhere, beautiful china, tea cookies and lots of yummy brunch foods to enjoy. I was a little occupied visiting with my guest that I didn't get but a few pictures on my phone before anyone arrived... not doing good on capturing the memories these days but I at least have a few to document the day.

The stroller arrived! A gift from some of my New York
I should have gotten a picture of the fireplace after everyone had arrived to show all the goodies for Lilly.
Lillie's and Roses
Mom & I after the brunch was over. Not the best picture BUT it's all I have. Don't you just love the swollen and exhausted look? You should see my feet! ;) I do hope it's normal to start swelling so badly at 32 weeks. I drive these days with my shoes off, It's that uncomfortable. I'm thinking a pedi and flip flops are in my very near future. Seeing that the high is 80 degrees today, Thanksgiving week, I can get away with that living in Florida
Speaking of Thanksgiving, I'm so excited to see family and enjoy turkey and dressing with loved ones. We'll have Jordan
