last weekend my mom was so kind as to throw me a baby shower. it was perfection. the theme was pinkalicious...and boy was it. its funny, but when i picture our baby girl, although i see her as feminine, i really don't see light, fluffy, infant PINK. is that weird? i think automatically bright colors, orange, green, teal, hot pink, but not like flowery, soft baby, pale pink at all. it is weird. of course, i buy it still. and i love love love seeing it splattered all over her ever filling closet. but its funny how in my mind she just seems vibrant. not ahhhhh so sweet pink. nope. wowza pinkalicious pink. so, the shower was just right!
there were tasty salads, pink cupcakes and some delicious punch concoction that reminded me of my favorite, the shirley temple, in all the right ways.
we played games, shared laughs, and i was so so so blessed to walk away with some amazing gifts i cannot wait to show our baby girl.
naturally there were only a few sacred photos taken at this event, one of me with my bra coming out of the side of my dress. ew. another with my eyes closed and my hair i think maybe tied in a knot in the back of my head. um, ew. and a third where i swear to god, i had FOUR chins. EWWW. so sorry friends, those will not be posted. but don't fret, later on that evening, i had to return to thank my mom once more for all her amazing work, and retrieve my fancy new camera i forgot (and did not use), and my sweet husband caught a shot of me, in all my baby-shower-day glory. although, still not what i my reverse anorexia has helped me see myself as in my own silly mind, it was the winner of the four sacred shots taken that day. and, i feel it only fair you all at least get to see one. you're welcome.
thank you, thank you, thank you to all of those who took time, traveled, and smiled right along side me. we are so lucky to be so loved and feel beyond blessed to have shared such a special time with you.
