Your First Baby Shower - Food and Decor

Baby Girl,

After getting such great news at the doctor we could truly celebrate your baby shower this weekend.  I can't wait until you are old enough to see and appreciate the pictures from your first party.  Your Aunt Jenelle, Aunt Reagan, Aunt Dinah, "Aunt" Christen, and my mom spent a lot of time preparing for this day.  Your Aunt Jenelle and Aunt Reagan did so much to make this special for you and Mommy.

Once I got put on bed rest it made them re-think what to do for the shower.  We decided to have it a little earlier than we had originally planned just in case you decided to come earlier than we wanted.  We also decided since I was put on bed rest to have the shower at our house, and this weekend our house was overcome with pink, tulle, and shower goodies.  Below are several pictures of the decorations and food that were brought over for the shower....
 Here are the cupcakes from Gigi's and the chocolate-covered pretzels on the desert table.


 These are the pedifores from Peggy Ann's bakery (my favorite) and cookies your Aunt Jenelle found from a lady - they were so cute!  They were in the shapes of onesies, strollers, and booties.

This is your diaper bouquet your Aunt Christen made. It has 84 size 1 diapers that we will be able to unroll and use when you get a little bigger.  Next to the diaper bouquet  were party favors for everyone who came to the shower.  Your Aunt Jenelle bought OPI nail polish called "It's A Girl." 

These are "diaper" waters and pink lemonade on the drink table.

 This was at the front door for everyone to see as they came in.  And another picture of the table with the party favors on it.  Your Aunt Reagan found this cute box to put the nail polish in as decoration.


And finally, one more picture of the precious desert table with 10 different types of deserts.  There were chocolate covered pretzels, pedifores, 2 different types of cookies, another type of chocolate pretzel, rice krispie treats, pink M&M's, pink Hershey kisses, Gigi's cupcakes, and one other type of candy and marshmallows as decorations.

This is just the first post about your baby shower.  You can see what a great job everyone did helping to get ready.  It was absolutely perfect!  Just goes to show how many people love you and you aren't even here yet.  We are so excited to meet you and were so excited to celebrate your arrival this weekend.

Love,
Mommy
