Yesterday evening I went out for a nice dinner with Cam, Nantina and Rachael. Cam needed to take off for youth group so us ladies hung out at the restaurant with plans to head off to Alissa's afterwards. We couldn't be at Alissa's until 7:30pm because apparently Alissa had plans (or so I thought!) so we just took our sweet time at white spot.
I had absolutely NO IDEA what was in store for me when we made it to Alissa's front door. Nan approached and knocked while I proclaimed, "no need to knock, I never knock!". All the sudden the door swung open and there were SO many of my friends, my mom and my mother-in-law yelling "SHOWER" right at me!!!!'
I was SO surprised, SO excited, SOOOOO happy!!!!! It was incredible to have that many people I loved (and who obviously love me) in one room! From all parts of my life too, I had friends from Gracepoint Church, CBC, Langley College, Wind & Tide, etc... It overwhelmed me and I kept thinking to myself "is this happening?!" I keep thinking about that moment with a big smile on my face :)
Bubba and I got SPOILED! The gifts just kept coming, and gosh they were very very cute. We got onesies, booties, toys, books, a nursing pillow, a nursing scarf, socks, blankets, hooded towels, stuffed animals, even two nursing tops for me and more. My nieces and nephew got us the Canuck pacifiers that Cam really wanted too!
There was a cake in the shape of a baby, games to play, yummy food out to eat and adorable decorations. I loved all the belly rubs, hugs and smiles. I was giddy all night long and when I got home I couldn't fall asleep for hours because I was so happy :)
So THANK-YOU THANK-YOU THANK-YOU!!! To my fantastic friends Alissa and Nantina for planning and hosting. To my husband Cameron for helping them and keeping it the best kept secret. And to everyone who attended, I love you all :)
I can't wait for you to meet our precious baby Bubba!
