#BABYBADBERG: OUR BABY SHOWER

I’m writing this after our 10 day vacation in sunny South Florida!

We got back a couple of days ago after spending almost two weeks down south relaxing by the pool, hanging with family and friends, and celebrating our baby boy. Since the holidays are coming up and I won’t be able to travel after, we had an earlier than normal baby shower at Sundy House in Delray, Florida. And it was one of the most special days we’ve ever experienced! My mom and Heidy, with the help of some of my friends, thought of every little detail to make it perfect. My best friends Courtney and Christina got my favorite candies for the candy bar and my favorite cupcakes from Publix (if you’ve ever lived in the south, you KNOW they have the best bakery), to the color of the hydrangeas on the table and the geronimo balloons that Heidy made sure I had… everything was so me. When I was in Paris I came across Le Petite Prince and loved it, so there were little hints of the story sprinkled throughout the shower, topped off with the book that traveled to New York, Minnesota, and back to Florida so two of my besties who couldn’t make it could sign it. And I was obsessed with the photo props and candy bags by Debi Lilly! Guests were also asked to bring books in lieu of cards, and I’m so excited to go through them and read the little notes they left inside.

Side note: since I know my mom and Heidy are both reading this right now, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. Words can’t describe how grateful I am for this day.

I’m someone who doesn’t cry often in public but I was so overwhelmed with joy and felt so loved, I teared up thanking everyone for being there. Pregnancy is a long and emotional journey, so to see so many people from my life there in one room, and know that so many family and friends were also celebrating our son from afar, made my heart burst. I know, so sappy right? My brother also flew in from LA to take photos from my shower, which I am so happy he was there for.

Here are a few of my favorite snaps from the day!

Sharing with each other is a different story but… we’re getting there. 😂🚂 🛻 Watching the two of them interact together has been so much fun. From brushing teeth together to wearing the same clothes, Jude has been asking for Heath to be a part of everything he does and it makes me so happy. #heyheathjoseph #heyjudeharrison #thebadbergboys #childhoodunplugged #babyboy #toddlerlife #letthembelittle #boymom #brothers
Name a better day drinking spot. 🍹 There is not Name a better day drinking spot. 🍹 There is nothing like the magic of a summer in Chicago. ☀️ #chicago #summertime #summertimechi #chicagoblogger #fromwhereistand
There’s nothing better than seeing your kids bon There’s nothing better than seeing your kids bond with the kids of the friends you grew up with. ❤️ Always up for anything, Diana was the first friend to visit me when I moved to Chicago 2 months later. We walked the city up and down, ended up at secret bars, and even had a karaoke session to Mungo Jerry on the redline. It was only fitting that as G and I check off things on our Chicago summer bucket list (more on that later) we visit my favorite tourist attraction together with our families (that’s @dpvarroney and @gary.rosenberg far in the back doing their best dad stances! ❤️) Swipe for a throwback from her first visit, taken with a digital camera. 📷 #chicago #summertimechi #motherhoodunplugged #darlingweekend

We’re a little late on taking our 9 month photos We’re a little late on taking our 9 month photos (and we may have missed month 8 🤦🏻‍♀️) but there was no way we were letting this one go by, since this has been our favorite month yet! Heath is officially crawling everywhere and he is FAST. Though he’s still the chillest baby we’ve ever met, that doesn’t mean you can keep your eyes off of him. Once he sees something he wants, he’s determined to get it. He loves to mimic his brother’s sounds and movements (and play with alllll his toys 🤪) and thinks clapping his hands is the funnest thing in the world. 👏🏻 He looooooves to chat and say mama, munch on broccoli, drink water out of his big boy cups, and play in the grass. We’re loving these summer days with you, our little guy! ❤️ #heyheathjoseph #9monthsold #babyboy #childhoodunplugged #motherhoodrising
