The Ellen Show

As most of you have either seen, heard, or watched, we had an amazing time on the Ellen Show this week and were blessed beyond words at the amount of gifts we received. For those of you who haven't heard, here is the story of how we got tickets...

A couple of months ago I received a facebook message from my old Pt Loma roomate telling me that Ellen was doing a show for first time pregnant moms and that I should try and get tickets. So I went to the website and applied to be on the show and also sent an email to Jordyn (my sister in law), and my 2 best best friends, Leslie and Steph telling them to try and get tickets as well. So to make a long story short, I got a call the next day from the show and they interviewed me over the phone and then asked if I wanted to be on the show!!!! I was so excited! I asked her if I could just have 4 tickets for all of us and she said yes!

The day was filled with anticipation and LOTS of waiting, but when it was finally time to enter the studio and tape the show it became apparent that it was going to be WELL worth the wait! When we first entered I was being really goofy and dancing and they told me to sit on the aisle which was awesome because I totally got to dance with Ellen when she came up the stairs. For those of you who didn't get to see the show, here is a rundown of the items we received: a brand new Fridgedare dishwasher, a daiper bag, monitor, bottles, slew of organic baby products, baby bjourn, shoes, hats and blankets, a car seat, $100 to Shutterfly and a digital camera, a crib and bedding from Target, 6 months of diapers, and an Uppa Baby Stroller! It was one of the most fun, exciting days I have had and I was so grateful to get to spend it with my three fellow preggers! We will remember this memory forever! We didn't get to take a camera in the studio, so we didn't get to take too many pics, but here are a few from the day!
