This past weekend I flew to St Louis, MO for the first time to meet my friend E and celebrate the pending arrival of her baby girl. We created a mommy group online almost 4 years ago and all bonded over making babies. We've supported each other through multiple pregnancies, miscarriages, and children. A few of us made the trip to MO for the shower to celebrate. We left our kids behind and turned this into a girl weekend. It was awesome.
Upon arriving in St Louis I started taking pics of signs. I love pictures of signs, I mean how do you remember where you were if you don't have pics of signs?
A, me and R, the three of us made the trip to attend the baby shower.
Everything was pink, I loved it. The guest of honor choosing the best baby made out of play dough
How cute is this. Her theme for her baby's nursery has owls in it
And all of us with the mommy to be
35 weeks and 15 weeks, can't believe that we are actually pregnant together and hanging out
After the shower we went back to E's place and celebrated some more :). The non preggo had wine while the preggo had sparkling grape juice. Yum yum
We sat on the deck and chatted away until the rain chased us back in
We spent the rest of the day talking about everything, reminiscing about the good old days when we started our group and talking about future meetup. It's crazy how these girls have become great friends of mine. Their support throughout the last few years has been amazing. We didn't go to bed until almost 1 in the morning.
The next day we chilled some more, had breakfast together before we headed to the airport. My flight was later in the day so I chilled with E a bit more before going home.
It was such a great weekend. I loved hanging out with my online friends turned real life friends. I missed my boys a lot and it was nice to come home to these smiling faces
Oh and my hubby too. I love my family. The boys were alive and in one piece, hubby did good :). By the way, this is probably the last pic of hubby with glasses, he got Lasik yesterday and is finally 20/20. I am so happy, I didn't care for those glasses.
Girl weekend was a great success. I Hope you all had a great weekend too.
How sweet!!! i love genuine friendships!!! Following you now!!! Your family is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! Glad you were able to get some time away to hang out with your gal pals. That's always fun.
ReplyDeleteYour boys are just so cute! How did your hubby do with Lasik? A friend of mine had it done and she said it took a while for her eyes to adjust to light cause it was very sensitive. Hopefully, hubby is doing great.
