Burkleigh's Baby Shower..

Has come and gone and I can't believe it! That only means time is ticking away and she will be here soon.  I can't tell you how excited that makes me feel.  I have waited my whole life for this moment and I am so ready to meet her, hold her, and welcome her into this world.  But, I am also trying to take it one day at a time and really enjoy these last few weeks. I have seriously LOVED being pregnant and I just can't believe it is almost over with! 
Sunday was such a special day for our family.  My closest friends and some of my moms sweet friends hosted a shower for us and it was truly awesome.  Down to every little detail.  The bow on the mailbox, the front door deocoration, the diaper cake, the flowers in the antique baby carriages, the framed invitation, the yummy snacks, and even the antique bassinet. They did such a great job and I am so blessed to have these sweet people in my life. 
The wonderful hostesses






Both my grandmothers were able to come up and even a few of my aunts.  It  was fun seeing some friends that I don't get to see very much and we were spoiled with so many wonderful presents.  Wow!  It was overwhelming!  I think Burkleigh is just about set now.  We just need the car seat and that's about it.  The hostesses also did a surprise for me and had all the guests bring a book instead of a card to help fill her library.  I LOVED that idea and her bookcase is overflowing with books now. What a great idea! It was a fun day and we are truly blessed with wonderful friends in our lives.  Thank you all so much for celebrating with us.  There is no doubt Burkleigh Ann is loved by many!
