Baby Shower–It’s a Boy!
Hello Friends! No friends, I’m not preggers. Someday! But for now I am in a near-constant battle with Chemistry and I’m pretty sure it is better done sans kiddos. I get my baby fix at my nannying job and occasional babysitting. And soon I will get it through my little nephew! My sister Courtney is…
