Surprised & Tickled Pink!

I don't get around to blogging much these days, but decided to give an update as to the latest happenings. At the beginning of March I kicked off my new Arbonne business. Auntie "Zu" (as Nolan likes to say) and Kylee flew in from Texas to consult my launch. We had a great girl's night and I learned more about the business and loved sampling all the products they have to offer. That same weekend, we had scheduled a girls day to go to a tea room. When I pulled into the driveway to pick up my sister I instantly knew I was not having tea. My sister and best friends surprised me with a baby sprinkle shower for our little girl. I was so surprised by the amount of people that flooded through my dad's house, all the decorations and the beautiful handmade cake my sister made!

I spent the afternoon surrounded by my closest family and friends and was overjoyed with how excited everyone is to meet the newest addition to our family in May. I can't thank everyone enough for spoiling our little girl! Little miss Madelyn received so many thoughtful gifts, outfits and homemade accessories for her nursery. She is so loved already!

I can't thank my sister and best friends enough for surprising me with such a wonderful day devoted to Madelyn. From the invitations to the games, and everything in between, you girls all took so much time to plan that perfect day and I am forever thankful to have you in my life and my babies lives.

The beautiful cake my sister made! Amazing!!

Aunnie made her first personalized item!! :)

Everything was decorated so lovely!

Surprised and overwhelmed by the amazing people in my life that planned the baby shower for me and the amount of people that flooded throughout my dads house!

This little boy is so excited to be a big brother and I can't wait to see him fit into the role, but at the same time it is so hard and scary to think about him not being my only little baby anymore!

I can't thank you girls enough!

Thank you!

Jessie only a few days away from meeting her daughter, Taylor!

Maddie & Taylor = BFF's!!! :)

I honestly spent all weekend with these girls and no one slipped! How did I not know about this secret you all were planning?! Next time Auntie Sue and Kylee come to MD we will all go to tea! :)

Madelyn is so very loved! We received so many generous gifts for our little girl -homemade gifts/quilts, personalized gifts, a mobile from Aunt Gin that incorporated angel wings so that Maddie's Grammy is always watching over her. 

Aunt Barb made a clothesline with the most adorable baby girl clothes and in the middle of the clothesline was my mom's pink O's hat that she got many years ago at a Mother's Day game my sister and I had taken her to. Instantly overwhelmed with emotion I thought of my mom outside gardening in that hat and felt so happy to have her as part of the special day. 

I really can't thank everyone enough for showering our little girl, spoiling Nolan in the process and including my mom. I have the most amazing people in my life.

Surprise is definitely the theme here because a few weeks later I walked into a meeting at work and was surprised to see that two of my co-workers and dear friends of mine had surprised me with a baby shower at work also! I know I said this already, but Madelyn is just so loved. I can't thank my co-workers enough for throwing me a shower to celebrate Madelyn!

We are only a few short weeks away and finishing the final touches on her nursery. I can't wait to post pictures and tour you through hew room. Stay tuned! :)
