Friend baby shower

Last weekend some of my nearest and dearest friends hosted the loveliest baby shower for me and baby #2. Initially, I was a bit of nervous about being the guest of honor at the party. My typical role is hostess and I wasn't certain how I would feel being on the other end. However, I can honestly say once I was there I felt comfortable, loved and supremely spoiled. It might be all these pregnancy hormones running through my body, but upon reflection I felt overwhelmed by my friend's kindness and outpouring of love for me and our new baby. 

Over the years I have worked hard to maintain friendships with a variety of women and each one has proved to be a blessing in my life. These are the kind of women you want in your corner. These are the kind of women who love you when you are your least lovable, who call and check in and remember important milestones throughout this pregnancy like doctor appointments and ultrasounds. These women over the past couple of years have not only surpassed my expectations of friends, but have shown me new depths of their love. I am proud to be part of such a loving community and feel very blessed for the opportunity to carry another child. Hooray for baby #2!!
