Baby Shower

I had my first baby shower this past Saturday and I was just blown away.  I have AMAZING friends!  This shower was given by five of my closest friends.  They are all girls that I went to high school with.  We have all been friends since like 5th grade.  I know that I am so lucky to have such lifelong friends.  We try to get together about once a month for girls night.  I love them all so much!!!   


The did a beach themed shower.  They chose this because I wasn't able to go to the beach with my family in August so they decided to bring the beach to me!  This is what was hanging on the door when I walked up.
How cute is that?  My friend Sarah made that for my hospital door and then it will go on Blakely's door at our house.  I love it!!!

Here are some pictures of the food and decorations.  


These were the favors.  You could fill your bag up with all the yummy gummies.  There were lots of sour worms in there...because they are awesome!




This was a parfait bar!  LOVE!


Here is me opening up gifts.  I find that most of these ended up with me having a super weird look on my face...


That is a little Razorback on the booty :)


We got our swing!!



That, my friends, is soft bear.  I got soft bear when I was born and I swear I slept with it until I met my husband and he made me retire him.  My aunt found a newer soft bear online.  AND it is the 30th anniversary edition.  So I had the very first edition and little B has the 30th anniversary one.  HOW COOL IS THAT???
This is Razorback outfit.  I am so excited to put her in this!  Yea for being born during football season!


Me and my mother in law

Me and my friend Katie that is about 13 weeks pregnant...

Me and Keisha.  I think I have mentioned her before.  She has 15 month old Kyndal.  Her water broke at 28 weeks and it was a very stressful time but it all worked out great and Kyndal is just like any other 15 month old..miracle!


Jenny, Courtney, and Keisha

My mom and my mother in law

These are the girls that hosted.  Jenny, Keisha, Sarah, Katie, and Courtney

All of us...

 This might be my favorite picture from the shower...I don't even remember what was so funny!

My family.  Grand, Bob (mother in law), Jenni (aunt), mom, and me!

I seriously had such a great time at the shower.  I feel so lucky to have such wonderful friends who would take time out of their super busy lives to do this for us.  We got tons of stuff and I am still organizing it all.  I am determined to have it all washed and put away before my next shower on the 10th.  Hope y'all have a great holiday weekend!

  2. Looks like you all had a blast! I hope that swing will be a lifesaver for you - it has been for us. The story about the little bear is too sweet by the way.

  3. I'm a new follower of your blog! I loved your theme for your shower--adorable.
    I'd love to know where that second Razorback outfit came from. Our little girl is due in November (thankfully on an off week) and I'd love to have something like that for her (just not for the same team). :-)
