puppy dog tails...

Amber, me, Mary, and Jessica




just some of the food and yummy cupcakes



Last Sunday I had my first baby shower hosted by my friends Amber, Jessica, and Mary. The shower started off with bang when one of my oldest friends walked through door...Katie! Or should I say waddled through the door....being that she is 2 weeks away from her due date! I had no idea Katie was pregnant too! Katie and I went to preschool, elementary, junior high, high school, and then found ourselves as college roomies! We always said we'd get pregnant at the same time....who knew?? Anyway, after holding back happy tears...the shower began!

I had a wonderful time chatting with my friends and talking about all things baby! I have never seen so much wonderful food at a shower before! Not only that, Mary made sure everything was pasteurized or preggo safe! Thanks friend! Mary and Amber should go into party planning! Jessica had lovely tulips throughout the house! We played nursery rhyme games and guessed how many diapers were in a box. Baby Boy's room is really started to look like a nursery after receiving so many gifts. A big thanks to all of my friends and family!


Baby Book
Books about sleeping and eating your vegetables for dessert!
an adorable "cow" bath wrap Alex is modeling....don't worry I'll wash it before baby arrives!


Little Giraffe blanket and burp cloths...they are so pretty I'd hate for him to spit up on them!



When I got home was putting away his things in his room, I found another little surprise waiting for me! Months ago while shopping I found a hand painted picture of a golden retriever puppy. It was perfect for his room! Of course, I fell in love with it! I couldn't bring myself to buy it being that I thought it was expensive. However, I couldn't quit thinking about it. So as I was putting away baby boy's things, I found it on his shelf! David had bought it for me and surprised me! What a sweet husband and daddy-to-be! I can't wait until my rocker is here so I can rock and enjoy his room and new painting!

I had a wonderful time with you and all your friends at your first Baby Shower and would have not missed it for the world!
Everyone had so much fun and we shared a lot of good laughs together.
I loved all the gifts for my grandson and am very thankful that you are blessed with such wonderful friends.
Blue is definitely Alex's color (haha).
I love the "puppy" picture; just too sweet.
