Baby Showers Rock!

Well, now that I have a baby I think they rock! Today it started snowing real hard so I took the Metro downtown while Daddy and Alexa hung out. Why? Because I had a baby shower to go to! My friend Shazia's baby shower!

I have no pictures to share. Because this blog is all about Alexa, not me! But in honor of the baby shower topic, I made some lists that might be helpful to the soon-to-be moms out there -- you know who you are!
