Treat Yo Self

This past weekend my mother and sis-in-law invited me out for a girls day!

We met up and trekked down to Walnut Creek for a shopping spree at the "good" maternity store - A Pea In The Pod.

The goal was to get some comfy loungy clothes and a dress for my shower (actually the dress will be for 3 big events I have 3 weekends in a row in May/June - a wedding, my shower and another wedding).

My MIL said she'd up front she wanted to buy a little something for me on the trip, she's so sweet.

Oh these gals...they are GOOD shoppers.  Good shoppers + a good store + well, me...it was an expensive, but oh so fun day.  My MIL surprised me by picking up the entire tab which I was not at all expecting.  

Dress #1 we bought - SO cute and flattering

Dress (SPLURGE) #2 Nicole Miller - HOT mama!  This one is for my shower!

We then headed out to a fancy, yummy lunch at Lark Creek before going home.

While the shopping was fun, the hanging out was the best part.  I don't get to spend a lot of time with these ladies because well...life is busy for all of us...but it was nice to be invited out, spoiled and have a day for just us to laugh and talk and grow closer.

I came home with my new clothes (and a bouquet of really pretty flowers too from them ) and a deep satisfying sense of gratitude for these two ladies who care so much about me and baby boy B.
