Shower Pictures

Full of joy & Joseph!

These are some wonderful pictures from our shower that my dear friend, Maria, took for us at our baby shower for Joseph!

I wish it did not take me so long to post these pictures, but now seems like as good a time as any to share them!

My favorite onsies!!! Thanks Maria!

My heart was overwhelmed with gratitude just seeing everyone who wanted to celebrate Joseph with us!

I could not stop crying when I walked into the door for the shower! I had already prayed 2 rosaries and spent time in adoration before coming to the shower but I could not believe that I was going to a shower to celebrate a life growing in my belly! My heart did constant flip flops throughout the afternoon!

I was so thrilled to see Lynn!

Yummy food!

Showered in love!!!

Flowers added that special touch and reminded me of my prayer companion, St. Therese!

My wonderful friend, Michelle, wrote a poem that Carrie read about lighting a candle in prayer for Jospeh when he was born. There was not a dry eye in the room after the poem was read and every guest took a candle home and prayed for Joseph on his birth-day!

Little diapers filled with nuts :) My mom and aunt made these!

Little pacifiers!

Best cake balls ever!!! Thanks Maria & Carrie!

The cake was so yummy and rich!!! I did not check my sugar after this!

No baby boy in LA can live without his own camo alligator :) Thanks Laurie!

My favorite homemade quilt made by my favorite lady, Lynn!

He has worn this onsie out! His daddy loves it!

Everyone brought a book to build up Joseph's library and this is one of my favorites!

Joseph was definitely worth the wait! I love that little boy who was kicking me that day! Sometimes it does not even seem real that I am his momma and that I was ever pregnant!

Michelle, me, Carrie, and Kim! Joseph is so loved by these three ladies!

What a fun photo!!! There really is a baby in there!!!

My sister-in-laws, Crystal & Tiffany, and my mother in law, Peggy.

We are on top of the world!!! I feel like we are in the movie "up" with all the balloons! Our hearts were so light, it felt like we were flying above the clouds!

A dream come true!
