We want to say a huge thank you to @nicolevolynets for the baby shower for the ages!!! This was my first experience and I had an amazing time! There's nothing you can't do and @petamurgatroyd and I are truly grateful... 🙏🏼 Love our eclectic fam and can't wait for #babyChmerkovskiy to be influenced by everyone in it! #RoomFullOfOGs 💪🏼 Thank you to everyone who came. The love in the room was apparent and all the babies made us feel at ease about bringing a kid into this crazy world. If our children are half as close as we have been through the years, they will have a large family of loyal friends to fall back on! That's what it's all about after all.... Don't like the world you live in??? Do better! And it starts with how you raise your children 👶🏻 This is an incredible adventure and I can't say it enough how lucky I am to have a partner like @petamurgatroyd to experience it with! I love you for always ❤️️💕 We want to also thank everyone that helped put this milestone of ours together !! Especially @mccarrenbk for hosting us!!!! @starbrightnyc @couturecreationss @shakeandsharemedia @goodiebox_bakeshop #BestInTheBiz #babychmerkovskiy
