It was an awesome baby shower. I didn't get to take any pics cuz hubby took his phone, so I will describe it as best I can. We sat by lamp light and candle light, the girls made tissue paper balls that hung from the ceiling and hung up/ laid out little baby clothes and blocks and books to decorate. It was adorable! The table with gifts had a baby scale with two little dolls laying on it, sitting on a quilt.. then all the gifts were arranged on one side of the table, bigger gifts on the floor in front of the table.
They had set up the chairs in a circle around a rocking chair, which is where I sat. The table with food was part of the circle. We had this amazing creamy potato hamburger soup in bread bowls, with a salad and a blue ginger ale/kool-aid punch with pineapple sherbet and little rubber duckies floating around in the bowl,(we had orange slices and cherries on toothpick in the glasses), and cake pops for dessert.
First we played a game. Seeing who could put on a diaper the quickest/best while blindfolded. Haha, it was pretty easy for me since we used cloth diapers!! It was really fun to watch everyone fumble with the baby doll and diaper!! Then we all sat back down and the girls who put on my shower passed out index cards and clipboards so that everyone could write down some advice for me! It was great, they put them all in a cute little photo album for me. Then we just sat and talked for a bit.
Then came the presents! Each person brought me their gift for baby. It was nice, because it helped me put names to faces, since I am still trying to learn everyone's names. We got a lot of blankets, which I thought was awesome! We got a couple of little sleepers (pink and blue!), a towel wash cloth set, a little towel, robe and wash cloth set, a water soother, crib blankets/sheets. We got a bumbo and play tray, a portable swing (now we have two, one for the bedroom and one for the living room), a booster seat/high chair (now the kids each have their own), I got two nursing covers, a baby's first year calender (had one with Rayven too) and a baby food grinder. Also got an adorable picture of Noah's Ark to hang on the wall. I think that's all..
Oh and another boppy pillow that has a little velcro attachment that goes between baby's legs and up around the waist to help keep them sitting up!!! (makes it a total of 4 boppy pillows I have
) I had a great time, it was so nice to have some adult girl time. Like a ladies' night out! Especially since Rayven spent the evening hanging out with Daddy and the guys! I did miss her though and she missed me as soon as she saw me, LOL!!! Guess she was having a good ol' time!! I'm glad she didn't seem to miss me that much, but I think it helped that she was with her Daddy!!!
Hope everyone is doing well and sorry if I forgot anyone! I will try to take pics of the blankets and such as all the big stuff is put away in the shed until we get into the house.
I don't get it surely it's grown out past the split in 6 years, but it's still not "right".
