Two weekends ago, a mix of my high-school and college girlfriends helped shower the baby girl with love in my friend's backyard. It was so fun to see the girls, of course, and celebrate this little lady – she's the first of the next generation.

I failed at getting a lot of great photos from my Sacramento shower (sad!) so I was so thrilled that my friend Katy had her rad camera on hand and was so snap happy. Katy, your photos are fantastic. Thank you for capturing the day. And to the rest of you girls – THANK YOU so much for the thoughtful party.

For the most part, we sat around and chatted. Three of my girlfriends are engaged with weddings in the next six months so there was a lot to discuss there. But we also ate great food, painted little onesies with fabric paint and played some "non-gross" baby games (nothing diapers and candy bar related).

One of the games was the "guess the belly size" with a piece of yarn. Too funny to see the variation. I haven't been to a baby shower in my adult life, so all of these games are new to me and so cute and fun.

Such a fun Saturday. I am so grateful for my girls.

    Awww these pics put a huge smile on my face! Big Congrats to you and Paul! All the best for the remaining months and enjoy every.single.moment that comes along with a brand new baby. Of all the new parent advice that was given to me that was what I really took to heart and remembered .. to enjoy it all (even those sometimes tough and long sleepless nights) because it really is such a special time. Hugs.
