Here are the professional photos from my baby shower last week! It was such a wonderful day and I will remember it forever :) I'm so glad we did this for our last baby. I never had a baby shower for number 1 or 2 and then Jonathan threw me a surprise one for Alessia last year (which was completely unexpected...but also planted the seed in my head of how fun it would be to plan one myself!). So I knew when we got pregnant with our fourth baby I wanted to go out with a bang and do something really special! I won't lie, I have got some unexpected criticism online for hosting a baby shower for our fourth baby...mostly from people who seem to have missed the point of why we had one. It wasn't to receive gifts or expensive presents...obviously those that are closest to us know better than that and are aware that we have everything we need. This was just a celebration of our last pregnancy, an intimate get-together for our close friends & family and something to look back on with fond memories.

DeleteWas that your sister in law and niece from the states. My goodness when did she grow up? Everything looked beautiful!!! I didn't have a baby shower with any of my children (they are grown and older then you Anna lol). Its something I regret to this day, like you said more for the memories then anything else. So glad so many of your family was able to come and celebrate with you!

ReplyDeletePS I wish I knew who was who. I recognize you mom and Jonathan’s mom and sis. And of course you sis too. And Sabrina. And Annie I think. She used to work for Gleam....but all the others I don’t know.

You’re an amazing Woman, Wife and Mommy Anna as well as so very beautiful inside and out which makes you glow. I get so much happiness from watching you and your family go about your daily lives. Sending tons of love 💕 and many prayers for a safe, expedient delivery. Marci 🤗💗🤗
