The Babyshower!

 




Most people who actually know me, know of my longtime bestfriend Elizabeth (Liz, Lizard, Flizz, etc) Her and I have been wreaking havoc since we were around 12 or 13 together. Times have change, we've both grown up immensely, and we've gone down our own paths... but as we speak Liz is 35 weeks pregnant and due sometime in late February with her first child. Sweet little baby girl Charlotte Grace Welsh! This weekend we ventured together, with good old Caitlin in tow, to the babyshower. I love Liz with all my heart and the thought of a little baby Lizard makes me giddy with excitement. I cant wait for her to get to experience all the priceless, amazing, awe inspiring moments that I know are coming her way. I cant wait for her to hold that little tiny (or not so tiny, 6lbs already!) baby girl up to her chest in the delivery room and fall in love in magnitude that the mind cant even begin to conceive. And then all the little firsts that come after that, first smiles, first laughs, first words, first steps, first booboos, first days of school, etc. I cant wait. I am overjoyed to see my friend get to fall in love with her little baby bump and this little girl that has never met the world yet. I'm also very excited for Dom. He will make a great daddy and its obvious he too is ready to meet her and love her more than he even knows. Its so cute, having experienced all this myself twice now... to see the two of them, ready, but truly, having no idea what to expect, and having no idea how much this is really going to change their lives and them as people. I am proud and humbled to get to be an auntie not by marriage or blood, but by love to sweet baby Charlie, whenever she decides to grace us with her presence in the outside world!~
