Showers and holiday fun



We have been busy celebrating the Christmas season and fast-approaching due date of baby.

Last Friday night was Joe's company Christmas party, which was held at the Empire Ballroom at the Palmer House hotel. Gorgeous! It was so fun to get dressed up (I had to buy a maternity party dress) and talk babies with his co-workers and their wives. Their is a baby boom at McDonough Associates so we're excited that Baby Middleton will have lots of friends his age.

Sunday afternoon my Chicago friends hosted a brunch shower for me at the cutest little place called Jane's. It was great to have all of my friends from different groups together for a laid back brunch. We ate - veggie frittata for me - and then opened gifts. Everyone was so generous and we got tons of cute stuff! Thanks everyone!

We have now taken a class on infant safety and CPR, as well as a class on basics of newborn baby care. Both were very helpful, even the "baby basics" class. It's been a while since either of us has spent a lot of time around babies! We are feeling more and more prepared.
