No, no John and I are not expecting; well not one of our own. We are waiting in anticipation for our first niece to arrive! John's brother Pat and his wife Kelly are expecting their first baby March 7. In honor of this joyous occasion, John's mother, sister and I threw Kelly a baby shower this weekend.
Through all the planning, I was having reminiscent nightmares of planning the wedding! With my type A personality, everything had to be planned down to the smallest details. Above and beyond all the delicious food we ordered, I made gluten free PF Chang lettuce wraps and Kelly's favorite dessert; key lime pie. I also took it upon myself to hand make the prizes and favors. And the pressure was truly on considering that I am back in school and still working full time (that is another post all on it's own).
Everything turned out beautifully, all the work was well worth it seeing the joy on Pat and Kelly's faces. We can't wait to shower the baby with love and cuddles! Only 4 weeks left!

Another item I get to cross off my list! #29 "Host a Party". And although I did make the individual key lime pies, I am not considering it my "make a pie from scratch" since I used GF graham crackers which were "pre-made".
Two items down, 28 to go!
