it's raining, it's pouring

My close friends from high school, Molly and Steph, were gracious enough to throw me a baby shower at their apartment this past weekend, and they did a fantastic job. It was the first baby shower I've ever been to, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but I think it was a success. Not only did my little sister fly in from Boston for the occasion, so did Dana and Swenson, my roommates from Boston College. It was so special to have such wonderful friends and family gather to celebrate the upcoming arrival of baby Moynihan. He will be blessed with so much love in his life, not to mention lots of beautiful women.

Here I am with the amazing hostesses,



and posing with my stash after the festivities.



It was fairly traumatic trying to take that picture. Let's just say that if you take a picture of a pregnant women from the wrong angle and in the wrong light, you might miss the curves, and she might end up looking like a big purple blob. And that might make her want to cry.

Finally, here's one of Dana trying out the new Baby Bjorn:



It's hard to tell, but that's Bean's stuffed penguin hanging out in the Bjorn. Since Bean has a slightly unusual habit of sucking on her stuffed animals, it didn't smell too pretty, but Dana was a trooper.

Thanks to everyone who was a part of this awesome weekend!
