@CarmCeG Thank you!! Growing out a pixie is tough and I've found curling it for the in-between stages is the best way to avoid looking ridiculous
@nda_roxybabe We had perfect weather! RE the fox swaddles, my friend got the matching onesie for us too so we could have our "Garden State" photo where the outfit matches the background. LOL
@SKZW@jayandplus Thank you!! My MIL has such a great old family home on top of a small mountain. It has such great views and is one of those family homes that feels lived and loved in. It's a good thing we like it there so much because we are "moving in" for 3-4 days while our caved in ceiling is repaired!!
@CubsLove12 Amazing cookies!! Your MIL did a great job. I got my hostess (also MIL) a leather tassel that has a phone charger hidden in it. You can clip it to your purse and never be without a charging cable! Link below!
@fbmandy55 I love that quilt, too! Did someone make that for you?
Nope, Amazon! We are doing a woodland theme nursery eventually. Found a woodland baby swing with raccoons on it too. Some friends have got us woodland animal dolls, blankets and bandana bibs. Baby deer, foxes, raccoons, etc.
Here are some pictures from my baby shower and the loot I walked away it. I wasn't expecting this many gifts and definitely not expecting a lot of people to show up.
Here are some pictures from my surprise shower this weekend hosted by my friend. It was so sweet. The wine bottles are favors for guests to toast with once they learn baby is born!
Just had my first shower yesterday. Was a nice little turnout. mom didn't take any pics of the favors, but we did Easter eggs with a tea light inside for guests to light and say a prayer for baby when he is born. everything was Snoopy theme (that was my nursery theme). my baby blanket is on display my son was a little crazy I didn't get to open any of the gifts, but I did get to see most of the cards. little booger!
@mrscpaleslie beautiful shower. It looks like you got a lot of great gifts. Great pics and a great looking couple.
@beachmommy2b I love the wine favor idea. Tell us about how they surprised you. That's awesome.
@swoodd2012 I love the prayer light idea. I almost cried thinking about how sweet it is to know that so many people will be lifting your baby in prayers, dang hormones.
@MrsCPALeslie How cute are you and your shower?! I love the decor. @BeachMommy2B Love the toasting idea! @SWoodd2012 The decorations are so cute and your shirt! My 3 y/o niece helped me open gifts which meant a whole lot of paper ripping and then throwing things on the floor as she didn't find them interesting, haha @clebl24 Those turned out great! Your sons curly hair, omg
My best friend worked with my mom and my fiancé since December getting guest lists together. Then she had me come over to her house acting like we were going to go get lunch together and everyone was there when I got there.
@nda_roxybabe Beautidul photos! Now I can't wait to have mine done. Funny that you said twig and olive did your photos. I follow that account on instagram and the photos are always amazing!
@thistlenweeds what a cute shower! Love the decorations along with the view.
@BeachMommy2B what great friends/family you have! That is a great surprise!
@SWE2 Small world! They have 2 of mine posted there, haha. One of the photographers is an old friend from my TK days! They had a workshop out here and I snagged the opportunity to work with them.
@chailife34 Thank you! XI clothing (is that every where?). I find them to be a little...IDK whats a nice word...clubbish? but I thought that dress was a great find!
@MrsCPALeslie Beautiful decorations! It looks like you guys scored on gifts! @BeachMommy2B Love the wine favors, but LOVE that cake! @clebl24 Those are precious and beautiful pictures! I love how color coordinated y'all are. You little boy's hair is adorable! @Swoodd2012 Love the Snoopy theme! I'm obsessed with Peanuts. @thistlenweeds Makes me miss Seattle, for a second. Lovely pictures and venue! @mdlorenz I love that the NICU nurses made that! Congratulations Owen!
@nda_roxybabe Those are gorgeous! I need tips and tricks so I can channel your poise when I do mine. I love the desert scenes in the background. You look like a model, truly! Your baby has a beautiful mama. (Your pics took forever to load so sorry it took me so long to give proper attention.)
Just got home from our baby shower feeling so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family to celebrate with! Here's a few pictures. I actually don't think many were taken throughout lol the bassinet has been in my family for 65 years! So excited to use it for our little guy. The bedding set was a complete surprise! I'd found it awhile ago and love it but it was so expensive. My parents got it for us it's all stitched! And I'm too lazy to do any sort of hiding of our faces and pretty sure you e all seen us already haha
Baby shower #1 was yesterday. It was my side of the family (we have a shower with his side of the family next weekend). Pics of the dessert bar and loot are below. We got a lot of stuff! Infant car seat, stroller, pack n play, rock n play, a sound machine, diaper bag (yay!) books, tiny hipster shoes, some clothing, etc. My aunt made an awesome soft book with her embroidery machine, my other aunt made a quilt and some fitted sheets, and my mom knit a sweater. Also love the onesie that says "I do what I want"!
