What a great weekend!

Good morning, everyone! :)
Ian and I went home for the last time before Baby Bally arrives - and it was an awesome weekend!! :)

First, we are driving up to my mom's house on Saturday morning - and when I walk in - there was a surprise baby shower for us!! :) It was such a fun and wonderful surprise, and everything was so beautiful and yummy!! Thanks to Mom, Mary and Linda for planning it - it was perfect! Ian and I are also just very grateful because there were so many people from different areas of our lives that came together - and they were all just so generous - it was amazing! What a great way to start the day on Saturday :) Plus now, we have almost all of our 'gear' - and our house is FULL of baby stuff!! But honestly, people were just so generous - and the shower was just perfect! So thank you!

The second part of our weekend was also awesome - as my Dad bought us all tickets to the Cubs/Astros game on Sunday - So fun! It was a little chilly, and although the Cubs rallied in the end, they didn't quite pull it off... but, spending the day with family at the ball park was something that I absolutely LOVED. It was great being able to chill (sometimes literally!!) all together and just enjoy the Cubbies - my dad is such a generous person - so thank you Dad for everything!!! :)

I think my family is pretty much ready for this baby - I know Ian and I become more ready everyday - My dad will make an awesome Grandpa - Mom will make a terrific Granny - Linda will be a great Nana - and Bob and Carol will make a terrific Grandpa and Grandma Bally - not to mention all of our brothers and sisters who will just be perfect as aunts and uncles! :)

Anyhow - awesome weekend - thank you family!!! You are the best :)
Love
