Family baby shower for Gabriella 1.26.2013 (sneak peak).

a big shout out to our moms, sister, and cousin.  our baby shower blew our minds.  it was more than we could have ever asked for.  this baby girl is LOVED and BLESSED.  thank you so much!

once i get our photos from john's cousin, i'll write a proper post.  and yes, this baby shower deserves 2.

Work baby shower in honor of Gabriella.

i have the most generous and sweetest co-workers.  they threw my baby shower at cheesecake factory on MLK day.  we were having such a good time, that photos totally slipped my mind until the end of our lunch.  by the time i whipped out my camera, john, jenn, sarah, ileana and alison left already =(

i was 35 weeks here.  look how high my belly was!  gabriella decided to "drop" the very next day.

look at all of ella's gifts!

and best of all, they got me a set of cloth diapers!!

i am truly blessed.  i really can't thank all of them enough.

Lately, my nights and days.

i've been off work now for a little over a week.  my baby showers have come and gone (posts coming soon, i promise). nesting is in full throttle.  yesterday i took a break and headed to my in-laws for nanay and tatay's wedding anniversary.  this is what my night looked like =)

isn't she the cutest?  her and ella are going to best buds.

and this is what my morning looked like.  nowadays, sleep is more like a novelty for me.  i woke up at 4 am and started organizing and washing ella's clothes.  while jojo was fast asleep, bubba heard me and decided to join me and make himself comfortable.  oy vey, life is about to get interesting with 2 dogs and a newborn.
