AW: My shower! (XP on PAIF)

Pardon me as I am a complete AW... I am still on cloud 9 (and still absolutely exhausted) from my shower yesterday and wanted to share!

My Mom has been planning this for months, and it was obvious with the meticulous detail and awesome DIY projects. My Mom loves Pinterest, so there were some ideas she borrowed from there - a bathtub punch with floating duckies, decorating onesies and disposable diapers, "guess how many M&Ms in the bottle" and other low-key games like that. She made diaper tricycles (instead of a diaper cake) with Pooh and Tigger dolls riding them!

It was, of course, Winnie the Pooh themed! Because, well, duh! Even you all could have guessed that - somehow I missed the obvious and thought she was doing Dr. Seuss (which still would have been great, but Pooh is my homeboy). She tied it in with primary colored polka dots, which was awesome. It was a total surprise and I loved it!

So many wonderful family and friends came, including two guy friends. I felt very loved! We got lots of books and outfits and blankets and some toys!

My aunts pitched in to buy us our crib and mattress (shipped to our house) and my parents bought our bedding set (gray, navy, and teal with anchors!). I am SO overwhelmed with gratitude!

    @misslizzy82 So I have to admit...every time I read your posts now, I read it in a stereotypical drunk Nascar-lover voice because of your siggy...and so this one the "you" in my head was totally flirting with @southernyankeegirl  

    Maybe I WAS flirting with her :)

  • Thanks ladies! The anchor set is from Babies R Us - it's a 3 piece set (skirt, sheet, and blanket) and has other pieces for sale separately (my Mom also bought the mobile and mesh bumper). It is SOOOOO cute! I love the gray "rope" (which is really soft) around the blanket.

    High Seas - it's under Boys Crib bedding. The photo looks more like an aqua anchor, but it's a much nicer teal color in real life.
