I had my first baby shower for sweet baby K on May 12th-- my 27th birthday! This shower was hosted by my sister and a dear family friend, Karen Grahl, in Georgia. Having lived in Georgia all of my life, it is only fitting to have a shower there for all of my Georgia family and friends to be a part of. It was a beautiful shower and one that I will forever cherish. So many of my family and friends were there to support me and my growing family and I am so blessed to have them all in my life.
My mom, Avery and I drove up to Georgia on Thursday, May 10th and on Friday, I was SO sick. I caught some virus that literally had me in bed or hugging the toilet all day long..... I couldn't believe the terrible timing of it all. Not to mention, being almost 34 weeks pregnant with a virus that doesn't allow you to keep anything in your system is absolutely terrible. I ended up in the urgent care Friday evening getting a liter of fluids and some finagrin. I slept the rest of the night and by Saturday morning (shower day) I was feeling like a new woman!! I am so glad I was feeling better for my shower; though unfortunately, I got my sister, Brock, Cheryl and Mrs. Karen sick. I feel terrible about that!
Baby K was showered with so many wonderful gifts at our first shower. Thank you all for your love and support- it means more to me than you will ever know.
