Last weekend my sweet girlfriends threw me a beautiful baby shower and it was a blast! Sara, Rosa, Behnaz, Kata, thank you so much for making me feel so loved and giving me such a pretty day.
It was wonderful to see so many of my lovely friends – Carla, Christelle, Sara, Missy, Irene and everyone who came out – thank you for celebrating with me! And thank you husband for hanging out until all the gift opening awwwwes got underway. Oh my goodness and I got some awesome presents! Mom, thank you for my glider (Brad has claimed it as his) and Rosa, I will cherish the beautiful blanket you made for our little girl – you amaze me.
Thank you Sara for these gorgeous pictures, your photography skills make me jealous. Love you:)
And here’s my big ole belly at 33 weeks. The swelling arrived a couple weeks ago. Flip flops are the preferable shoe choice (although the straps still leave deep indentations) and I went to Macy’s yesterday to get a $15 wedding ring that fits my new sized fingers. We just finished our birthing classes this past Sunday and are feeling more prepared than ever. Only 6.5 weeks left… I am so excited!
And by the way, I have huge respect for pregnant bloggers who still post all the time, I don’t know how they do it. I am generally just beat and when I get home from work the last thing I want to do it get on the computer. I’m glad they do blog throughout their pregnancies though so I can read about how they are dealing with being pregnant, decorating their nurseries, etc. I am such a taker. I promise, I have kept little notes about all the prego posts I want to do – just haven’t finished, or started, drafting them yet…
And another by the way, one of the websites I obsessively read until I finished all the posts was The Glow. It’s like a pregnant lady’s guilty pleasure – that and a bowl of spicy spaghetti later followed by brownies dipped in hot chocolate.

Hi Apollina,I am new to your blog but have quickly come to love it. Your living the life I would one day like to live in DC. If I could make a request, I would love to see a blog post about how you and Brad met… Kind of like a portrayal of your love story. If that too intimate I understand. But keep up with the blog, I love it!
I was so happy to see you and Brad. I cannot wait to meet the little one.
Hi Whitney! Thanks so much for writing and for your kind words. That’s such a fun idea to write about how Brad and I met, I absolutely will! Brad actually wrote out the story of our meet-cute a couple years ago (complete with visual aids), maybe I’ll just post his story and let him tell it in his words. It’s nice to meet you Whitney, so glad you enjoy the blog!
app!!! you are gorgeous. I am glad you finally updated! If you think you don’t have time now just you wait *wink
you have great friends! A few things that I loved about this post. Brad’s ridiculous hair?! ha what the. Also the picture of you smiling at the camera the Happy Baby sign got cut off and it says “Appy Baby” which is perfect! maybe thats what I will call her, my little appy baby. wish we could have been there! love ya!
Aww I wish i could have come! Looks so fun!!
Hello! I love your blog. Were you on TLC’s “Something Borrowed”? If that was you, your familyis too cute. Congrats on your baby girl!
Hi Zara and thank you!! Yes, my sister went out for the show and got on! It was a lot of fun taping (back in October) and she just got married last weekend. She looked great in her red dress:) There are a lot of parts they cut out (of course) and crazy edits on my Mom but all in all it was a lot of fun – tv is a whole other world… So fun you recognized me!
Michelle, you’re hilarious! I didn’t notice the the appy baby but I love it. Isn’t Brad’s hair nuts? It’s getting so long and it’s pretty cool;) He had just taken his hat off for the picture, he laughed when he saw I posted that pic:) I wish you were there too, hopefully I’ll see you next month!
