Baby Shower

Our wonderful friend Stephanie hosted a baby shower in our honor. She spent alot of time organizing it to create a very special day for us. Aunt Ashly and Uncle Adam came over early to help decorate and prepare the food. They suggested we take a bath, get comfortable and definitely not come out of our bedroom until the all decorations were complete. When we came out, we saw clotheslines filled with onesies all over our house. It was so adorable. The idea was that everyone at the party would take on down, go to the art table and design it, and then hang it back up. Everyone certainly got super creative and they came out wonderful as you can see. Paola and Jay made me a crown wreath with orchid flowers and colorful ribbons. It made me feel like such a goddess. During the party, we had a circle where we chanted a Hebrew song of peace (Od Yavo Shalom Aleinu). We spoke to the group of how we wish to create a world of peace for our baby and all babies of the world. We believe our baby will help bring about that peace. Joshua had everyone close their eyes and imagine they were in the womb. He then shared a story he had created for Baby J called Big Bright Star. Josephine sang a song that she wrote for Baby J. Then we passed around a chalice filled with water and asked everyone to infuse in it a blessing or prayer they had for us and/or Baby J. Once the chalice was infused with the elixir of blessings, we drank the water to fill our bodies with love. It was a dream day and one that got us so happily charged that we could hardly sleep that night. Thank you to all the friends that made this day so special for us. We will always cherish it.
