Baby shower day...feeling so grateful!

So today is my baby shower, at a pizza parlor I might add!!! The whole time ive felt a little funny about my shower because it has felt like im just asking for gifts, but my aunt and friend insisted on planning. However, today I just wanted to discuss my feelings of joy since it seems the reason for a shower keeps getting misconstrued. I woke up this morning with overwhleming joy to see all of these dear ladies in my life. I dont care about the gifts or the party or the games. I am so grateful to have so many people that want to come together to celebrate my entry into motherhood with me. I just feel so happy to spend the day giggling and laughing and hearing their stories about their kids or funny pregnancy stories. Im just excited to eat this pizza (hehe) with all these people that care about me and my little family and want to be apart of us growing. My DSD (dear step daughter) has even found this reasoning as well when she woke me up this morning and said happy baby shower day...everyone wants to come see your belly!! :) Wamred my heart and really just made me realize the true meaning of a shower or birthday or any event of friends and family coming together!!

    Have a great time! Once you get all the gifts your gratefulness will go to a whole other level. This little girl's room is almost completely furnished and her closet too. We've spent $20. Everything else was a gift. Blessed me more than I could ever think.
    And I agree. Seeing people I hadn't seen in years and just hanging out was wonderful! Enjoy your day!

    I love this post!! I feel the same way about my shower, it's been a few months since I saw my dad, and I absolutely can not wait to see him, have him meet my family and extended family and my friends (the whole 3 of them there are lol!) .. But I'm really just excited to see everyone and grateful that they all care enough about me and DH and DD1 to come celebrate DD2 coming. I didn't have half the amount of family with DD1 that I do now, so I'm really thankful for the opportunity to have everyone meet!

    I feel the same. My shower is in a couple weeks and I'm so excited to see everyone. I live out of state and a lot of my family is spread out so just getting to see them is the best gift I could ask for.

    Such a nice contrast to some of the shower posts I've seen on here! I loved my shower thrown by friends. My MIL's friends will be hosting a second one for me, and even though I don't know these women that well, I am very touched by the gesture.

    Today was my shower as well. And I couldn't agree more it truly opens yours eyes and let's you appreciate all the good loving supportive people I have in my life. Plus hanging out with family & friends for the day is never a bad idea :)@SashaDenn25 glad to hear you enjoyed yourself as well

    I had a work shower and my boss made every food imaginable--it was amazing! Every girl deserves a shower. ❤️

    I know what you mean. I was in tears at my baby shower because I was overwhelmed by the amount love I felt from friends and family. It was probably part hormones but it was mostly gratitude to have everyone together to celebrate our new addition to the family!
