The Baby Shower

Have you ever looked forward to something for a long time and then felt completely overwhelmed once it arrived? I'm sure I'll experience that feeling many more times in the next several weeks/months/years. Friends and family celebrated the impending arrival of our little girl with a baby shower on Sunday. It turned out beautifully and I will be writing thank you notes until my hand hurts and then I'll take a short break and start again. ;)

We enjoyed a fabulous dessert bar with cheesecake, decadent cupcakes, chocolate covered strawberries, mini brownies, and fruit salad. Yum!

There was a purse scavenger hunt to see who had the most items on the list. My mom and I got a good giggle out of item #3 on the list. I'll leave you guessing on that one. :)
We even had crafting! Everyone was given a plain onsie to decorate with fabric or markers. I have some craft-a-licious girlfriends!
Of course I opened baby gifts as well. While opening I received some sage advice from all the mommies in the crowd. Thanks gals!
And then my camera battery died. I'm hoping I'll receive more shower photos soon from those with fully charged batteries. :)

Here I am in the nursery trying to figure out where to put everything! I'm happy to say that all the clothes are hung in the closet and almost everything has found a home.
Thanks again for a wonderful baby shower!
