letters to paisley || 38 weeks in my belly

paisley’s baby shower
Once we found out baby #3 was a girl, I honestly wasn’t planning on having a baby shower. I felt like I had everything we needed. Then a mama friend of mine with 4 of her own insisted on hosting at least a “diapers and wipes” party. I decided that would actually be extremely helpful. […]
