How does one get back to normalcy after having the best week ever? This is what I'm trying to figure out right now and I honestly can't help but feel that it's going to be somewhat impossible to do. After two baby showers, a wonderful surprise birthday dinner, AND a birthday bbq bash, I can't just jump back on the train of normal life, now can I? No, I certainly cannot. Well, thank goodness today is sunny & warm or else I just would not have gotten out of bed at all.

On days like this, there's really only one thing I can do to get perked up. Retail therapy. I know, it's a total cop out from doing anything really, truly productive, but I really need to go buy some more items for the nursery, I swear! One of the items that Steve and I just can't seem to agree on, or rather we just can't seem to find the perfect one, is a mirror to go above the changing dresser. I'm determined to find "it" this week so we can cross it off the list. I also need to purchase cloth storage bins. You'd think they'd be easy to find but I'm looking for a very specific kind and they are just no where to be found. That will be another elusive item that I need to hunt down this week.

While I search for some of these nursery items, check out a few photos from this past week's festivities.

Me and Steve at his lovely office shower. All I have to say is that his coworkers are the sweetest, most thoughtful people ever. Check out the beautiful cake below. And, they all pitched in to give us our dream stroller!

This cake was SO good! I ate about 2 more slices when we got home.

Nothing like opening presents on your birthday. The gorgeous flowers were from Steve's dad & Susan and were delivered to our house the morning of my birthday. And the other 2 gifts are from the hubby and my bf, Alicia.

Couldn't believe the hubby got me something from Hermes?! Still kind of in shock over his gift. I mean I dropped hints but didn't think he would remember or actually get it. SO glad he did!

My beautiful friends who surprised me with a fabulous birthday dinner.

At Reynolds Tavern in downtown Annapolis for some afternoon tea with some amazing ladies. And yes, we've picked out "Victoria" to name our little girl! How cute is that bunting banner?

My amazing friends who threw me this lovely fête!

Thank you to all of our family and friends who gave me the best 30th birthday celebration AND baby shower celebrations a girl could've asked for! I am truly blessed and grateful to have such an amazing group of people in my life. Love you all very much~

Love,
