My Baby Shower


The delicious brunch and cake (minus a great egg, cheese and sausage casserole)
On Saturday, my friends Arcelia and Tami threw me a wonderful baby shower. It was just perfect! They thought of everything including a diaper cake, games, favors, balloons, punch, cake, it was very special. This is a picture of all of us there. I'm so lucky to have such great friends! Thank You everyone for making this special party to welcome our new baby girl!

Yikes!
Arcelia & I
Kristen & I

I was "showered" with such great gifts. Diapers and more diapers, wipes, soothies, clothes, Burts Bees lotion, soap and diaper cream, aquaphor, a swaddler, book, ornament, blankets, a handmade tutu (so cute), a handmade blanket and vintage onsies, a knit hat, baby legs, booties and more, I'm sure! This baby is just as spoiled as Liv!
Olivia and I took all of the gifts and set them up for this picture.

A few of my friends sent home gifts for Olivia. That was so sweet and she loved it.

These little "pacifiers" were so cute and tasty.
The yummiest punch I've ever had!!!
I'll post the recipe later (will take it from Arcelia's blog...shhhh)
Keeping the pink and orange theme...

Arcelia made me this beautiful diaper cake! It has the cutest little socks tucked in and adorable winter booties on top. Our January baby will sure use those!


These are the favors Tami made. They were spiced nuts from a very special family recipe she has. It was so special of her to make these in honor of our new little girl.

Thank You! I think I'm past the cute pregnant stage into the huge puffy last few weeks. I really wanted to get real pictures taken, but too expensive. I'll try to have Rob take some. I miss you!!! xoxoxoxo
