Last weekend I took my two personal days off of work and, after securing an aisle seat on the airplane to ensure easy access to bathrooms, headed to Colorado for a much too short long weekend. I never imagined I'd be so far away from my family during my pregnancy, so it was nice to have at least one weekend that resembled what I used to picture. My sister and mom planned an awesome baby shower where we played all the cheesy games, ate lots of food (yummy guacamole!), opened a mountain of gifts, and most importantly, where I was able to see and talk with so many people who I haven't seen in far too long. 
Julie (Auntie) and Me
Julie bought the sash and necklace...aren't they pretty?
The cake was topped with Cabbage Patch figurines that my grandma bought in 1987
The onsie says it all

The grandkids were a little more cooperative for the picture
