Aunt Mimi, Grandma Judy, and Grandma Gigy hosted a shower for all of our family and friends in St. Louis. It was our last significant trip before being confined to the DC area for the last couple of months of pregnancy. The next time we make it to St. Louis will be for Baby Pitlyk's baptism - yikes!
Carrot cake -- yum!
Baby's first Cardinals gear -- very important!
The Chiklettes and Isaac Basi started a band!
Babies Pitlyk and Hodes meet for the last time in utero.
NEW YORK SHOWER -- April 4, 2009
Cousin Jessica, Aunt Maryalice, Grandma Gigy, and Aunt Mimi (via phone and e-mail) planned a beautiful shower in Pelham, NY, for our friends and family in NYC and New Haven. Thanks to everyone for making the trek to celebrate Baby Pitlyk's imminent arrival!
Direct from the Pelham Bakery -- it doesn't get any better!
Aunt Maryalice went all out, stocking Baby Pitlyk's wardrobe!
Bruno Spampinato favored me with some smiles. I LOVE him.
Louisa and her little man.
The Yalies, before they took off for "law prom." It was so nice of them to take the time to fete Baby Pitlyk so close to graduation! 
The New York City contingent!
INDY SHOWER -- March 14, 2009

The Hodes girls are ready to go!
The cake was DELICIOUS!
It was a St. Monica youth ministry reunion!
There were *six* pregnant ladies at the shower -- Belinda, Mary, Sarah, Resa, Jen and Emily. Wow!
