Miller's Shower (Baby Shower's part 4...)

I had my 4th shower at the Miller's house on March 12th. It was so beautiful! Linda and all my sis-in-laws did such a great job. It was complete with delicious (and beautiful) food, flowers, and decked out with bird decor. It definitely had a Spring feel to it :) I'm so blessed to be a part of this family. Everyone went around and told me why they thought I was going to make a good mother....and it got a little emotional! I'm surrounded by amazing women and I love them all so much!
The great spread! So yummy :)

Me and my mama. Also we played "How big is mama's belly". It's always so funny to see how big some people measure it!
I got some great gifts! The letters are actually supposed to read "E.M" for Ella Miller, but I had them switched for the picture and it looks like I'm making it all about "ME"! Hahaha!

Thanks to everyone who has come to/thrown all of my showers. I feel so loved and supported on this journey. It has certainly been a long one, I'm having a hard time remembering not being pregnant! But I'm so happy that I've been able to experience this and feel my little one grow. It's an amazing, miraculous thing. Adam and I are literally buzzing with anticipation to finally lay eyes on this girl. We already love her so much, it's going to be crazy to feel that love grow once she's here!

Friend Shower (Baby Shower's part 3.....)

My friends Stacia, Helina and Brittney threw me my friend shower. It's always fun to have all of my friends in one room!!! We played some cute games and ate some very good food :) There were five of us all together who were pregnant!! The weather wasn't the best that day, so I really appreciate everyone who came out to help me celebrate! I have great friends!!
Jessie, Ali, Rachel, Me, Stacia, Lacey, Tammy, Brittney, Helina (and her cute boys Bennet and Gabe)
Ali, Me, Jodi, Brit and Lacey are all expecting!! Lacey is due any minute.. Jodi and I are due the end of April, Ali is due in a couple of weeks, and Brit.....well, I'm just not sure!! I think closer to October!

Lindsay and Me :) I haven't seen her in so long, I'm so glad she came!

Ali ad JJ (that's what I call Jessie, but I won't say why:) )

Stacia and Helina...people always mistake them for sisters! I can see the resemblence :)

Tammy and Lacey...I worked with these girls and LDS Hospital a long time ago, but we've stayed in touch and get together at least a couple of times a year.

Beehive Tea Room Exclusive! (Baby shower's part 2..)

So my very best friends Phyllis and Liz through me a special Baby Shower with just me, Phyllis, Liz, Ellie and Jill. We had it at a place called the Beehive Tea Room in Salt Lake....it was SOOOO cute! It's got several rooms all decorated with different old fashioned art work and furniture. It was so nice and thoughtful of them to do this for me, and it was really fun to spend the afternoon with them!

Some pic's of everyone together enjoying our tea and Italian Soda's :) These girls are all like family to me. Phyllis and Ellie have since gone back to London where they live. I miss them so much, but applaud them for doing what is right for them in their marriage. Ella will know how much they love and cared for her before she was even born :) Jill was always like a 2nd mom to me growing up, I think I probably spent as much time at her house as I did my own! And Liz and I have been like sister's from birth. We were born three days apart! Love you all sooooo much!!
Some pic's of me opening presents and drinking my Italian Soda. I got such cute gifts from everyone, thank you so much!!
We had some great drinks, scones, sandwiches, and desserts here. It was all so good!
We decorated bibs for Ella after we were done eating :) I'm sure they will all come in handy!! Thanks again girls for such a special day!!

Fancy Nancy Baby Shower Soiree Extravaganza....(Baby Shower's part 1...)

My mom threw me my first baby shower....and what a way to kick off these fun parties!!! It was themed around a Fancy Nancy Tea Party. It was decorated BEAUTIFULLY, my Aunt Kathryn brought some fancy hats, we were dressed in fancy clothes, and we ate very fancy food! I am so grateful for my mom and sisters and everyone who contributed to this special day, I had such a great time!!!!


I got so many great gifts from my family. My sister Amy made me an amazing quilt, I've never seen anything like it!!
These are some of my family members that came out to support me in celebrating Ella's arrival. I have the best family!!

The beautiful decorations and delicious food. Mom and the girls really went all out...I don't think anyone can deny just how fancy this soiree was :)

Some pic's of me and some of my guests....my best friends Phyllis and Liz came to my family shower, because they are just that.....more like sisters than friends :)
Thanks again everyone for such a great day!!!!!
