This weekend marked a milestone in my pregnancy journey – we celebrated our baby shower! I cannot express the words to describe it because it went above and beyond what I could have imagined. Perfect would not even be enough to define it accurately.

The majority of this event was a surprise for me! I knew it was being planned but I didn’t know the details of it. My mother-in-law was the head of the operation, with help from my mom and some of Tommy’s family. Everything completely blew me away! From the decorations, to the invites, to the date it was celebrated, to the theme, to the guests…
ALL. AROUND. PERFECT.

Leading up to the party, I didn’t know how to feel. My hormones were getting the best of me and I just didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t know the date of the party until about two weeks before… it drove me crazy! What is the theme, who is going, where am I sitting?! It became a stress factor for absolutely no reason. I knew, KNEW, that once it was time for it to be here, I would be so excited and walk into something so amazing. Amazing being an understatement. I was absolutely right because I lit up once I walked into that room!

Everyone is different in their pregnancy… for me, I have been dwelling on surprises. Overthinking happy moments to come and not being able to see the big picture in that moment because I am stuck with my thoughts. I am typically someone that gets a kick out of them but Pregnant Samm is a different story it turns out. The fact that it was a surprise, that all I had to do was just show up, MADE this experience for what it was.

I could not have been more grateful for the turnout and the work that went into it. It was bright, it was fun, it was magical! There were moments that my eyes filled with tears, being so overwhelmed with the love and care that went into the shower. What a celebration to honor the start of our new family. Everything was thought out to fit me and exactly what I wanted without me having any input into it. I truly don’t know how it was done so flawlessly 💛. I feel speechless, even afterward.

You could feel all the happiness and support radiating throughout the room. Our little girl is truly blessed to come into a world with so much love already. Not only Mel, but I am truly lucky to expand the people in my life and call them my family.

Thank you to everyone for the smiles, laughs and memories! I will be reminiscing until further notice 😊
