I have dreamed about this day for years, the day I would be showered. I filed it away with all the other sacred moments I couldn't wait to have one day. I woke up this morning with butterflies in my stomach in disbelief that I would be attending MY baby shower that day, one of my dreams would be coming to life, and most everyone I loved would be there.
I picked out an outfit that made me feel beautiful and planned how I would do my hair months prior My mom and mother in law graciously planned my shower and put so much love and intention into every detail. There were lots of flowers, textures, bright colors, and gluten free/ dairy free food. It felt like me and I walked around savoring every detail before the guests arrived.
I got so many good hugs, adorable and amazingly generous gifts for our baby, and sincere well wishes for our adventure ahead. I was surrounded by people I love and that love me, mothers I admire and will glean from, friends that are like sisters, and sisters that are my best friends, and a room full of people that have prayed relentlessly and fought beside me to become a mother. I couldn't have asked for more.
