Surrounded By Love

February was the month of Baby Showers. My friend, Beth Nelson, threw me a baby shower on February 20th and my sisters-in-law and mother-in-law threw me one on February 27th. I have to say that I'm always a little nervous with having parties thrown for me because I wonder who will be able to come and who will want to come and support me. It's a silly thing to worry about, but it always gets my nerves going.

I had alot of close friends show up for the friends baby shower and two carloads of family who came all the way from New Mexico to show their love and support. And that doesn't even include all of my new family from the Bryner side who came to support Bryan and I in our new family! Wow, all I can say is that I am so very blessed. We have so many people who already love this baby girl and have supported us SOOOO much throughout this pregnancy. I am so grateful to know that we will not be raising this little girl alone, but that we have friends and family who will be there to help us along the way.

I am overwhelmed by the love shown to us, especially through these two celebrations. I have posted pictures below of all the great family and friends we had there. And all the family and friends who weren't there, thank you so much for your support and love too!!

We love you all and want to say a great big THANK YOU for your love and kindness to our family!!

Wish we were closer so we could share in these fun times. Just know we love you, all the way from Beaumont, Alberta and wish you the best with the labor and delivery that is coming. You'll be great and it will all be worth it!
