First things first: proper cuddle time with me and my Quinn. Actually, it’s her Quinn, but he is most definitely my sweet little buddy (and he likes chillaxin’ with his finger in my necklace so that gets me some points). Then came my shower. This was thrown by my NJ-based sisters and Mom (I get another up here thrown by my local sister–sah-weeet!). It was a brunch to the nines. Apple fennel sausage, hashbrowns, zucchini and goat cheese frittatas, artichoke and ham stratas, buttermilk cheddar biscuits, parfaits, fruit kebabs, a bloody mary station, champagne cocktails, coffee cakes, apple cakes, lemon curds, chocolate cappucino muffins (all made by them!)… oh my. It was a pregnant girl’s dream. I can’t thank them enough for showering me so brilliantly. You guys are the best. I felt pretty darn special.
Your dress is way fab! Is it even maternity?? I think I was able to get away with wearing a lot of non-maternity stuff until just a couple of months before the babe was born. I get the impression you might be the same way. 🙂
aww, you are such a pretty lady.
i agree with reagan! and they did an excellent job with the shower.
@charmingly ordinary, it's not! love that (since maternity things get marked up way too much, say i!)
@reagan, as are youuuuu.
@kim, and you. they really did. it was a blast. not just for my tummy.
What a gorgeous shower AND spread!
You had me drooling at the word "brunch." We all know how I feel about brunch.
But really, you look gorgeyfaysh.
You look gorgeous! #hateyou
Oh my gosh… You are just beautiful. I agree – your dress is fabulous. Where, oh where did you get it? I have so enjoyed your blog, thanks for sharing your life with us.
What an awesome family you have for throwing you probably the best baby shower ever. That food sounds like it was to die for!
You, my dear, look super adorable in that dress. 🙂
I have that same dress! And wore the heck out of it when I was prego. I got mine at forever21 🙂
Looks like a lovely shower with so much GOOD FOOD!!
@ballerinagirl, forever 21 it is!
@ladylee, i love that we both maternity-it-up in the same non maternity dresses.
this looks beautiful and DELICIOUS! you are a lucky girl to be surrounding by such loving and supportive women! xo
I'm going to be the one that comments on how fab your boobs look. Mine are still pretty much the same size. What the what?
Funny lemon curd story. There was a woman with a crush on Mike who made him special order her a case of lemon curd. So now whenever old bitches (his age?) flirt with him, I do a rendition: "Miiiiiiike, would you order me a case of lemon cuuuurd?"
He hates it.
you look fantastic!
i have that dress too bridge!! great taste we have (:
the shower looks so so yum. way to go moms and sists!
I like the little onesies as a decoration! That's a cute idea.
You look great! Love the dress. And the food…yum!
Ok, I'm seriously in love with that great dress you've got on! And this shower looks adorable and such fun! 🙂
My stomach is rumbling just thinking about/looking at all that amazing food. Can I throw a shower for myself just because?
And I'm just gonna go ahead and say it, because I feel you'll appreciate it, but your boobs look fab!! Hooray for pregnancy boobs!
You look so pretty!
ADorable! Every last detail is perfect!
I'm gonna second E- nice rack! You are beautiful, duh.

What a shower!!! All that food looks amazing!!
Wow! This is so elegant! I love the spread. And your dress is gorgeous!
Oh, Bridget, what a special and memorable day! You're glowing from delight because of so much love…and GREAT food.
I meant to comment this every week you write to your babe but don't get to it because one of my kids does something to divert my attention and makes me forget even my name. Anyway, I find it so sweet how you write to him. No fancy big words, just a sweet note from mommy. I would have loved to have that from my mom. Such a small act and such a huge treasure. I just might have to copy you next time I'm pregnant 🙂
1. kate, it looks amazing! well done.
2. boobs…i'll say no more.
3. wish i could have been there.
It looks like it was lovely! I hope you got to rest afterwards! And that dress, holy pretty!
you look so beautiful 🙂
