Showered with Love.

Today was one of three baby showers little DLR has. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful family. There were so many people that loved and supported us- laughing, telling stories, playing games and eating food. It was a beautiful Saturday, indeed. Even the sun decided to come out and play for the afternoon.

We are still sorting out the tons of photos from today, and will hopefully have some video footage of all the (ADORABLE) onesies, tutus, sandals, bouncers, tubs and everything our little girl could have possibly ever wanted or needed.

My family is so hilarious- and creative! My mom and aunt put together the most gorgeous decorations that could seriously be right out of a Better Homes and Gardens magazine. Not even kidding. All I'm saying is... we Votta's definitely know how to party. I had such a wonderfully long day of driving, middle school musicals and parties. I'll leave you with a few photos from today's shower before I turn in for the night.

We had such a wonderful time and are more than grateful for all the gear we've gotten so far. It's so great knowing our little girl will be brought into the world with open arms and a lot of style.

the birthing of alba mae

From the beginning, this pregnancy seemed so much the same, yet so distinctly different all at once. I didn't get sick, I wasn't too turned away by my favorite foods, I had occasional heartburn here and there and overall, was able to relax and enjoy the experience. What was strange was how differently I was carrying - having been told more times than I could count that I had looked as if I had "swallowed a basketball". I think I was persuaded a few times in my head that maybe this was different, maybe it really was a baby boy. Yet still, in my heart I had an overwhelming intuition I would be holding another little girl in my arms, someone so very similar to her sister yet so distinctly different all at once. My little may flower. Saturday night, the air was warm and sticky. Sofia, Erick and I read stories by a big window fan in her room trying to distract ourselves from the heat in our upstairs apartment. ...
