Baby Shower #2

Last weekend my friend SiRui threw a baby shower for all my friends. She absolutely went to town on this shower and I can't even imagine how much planning went into it! I kind of failed at taking pictures of this event (thanks to my friend Katie for snapping some pictures! :) But let me tell you, there was some amazing goodness happening. There was chocolate fondue with all sorts of delish dippers (just imagine everything you might want to dip into chocolate, including potato chips), mini hot dogs wrapped in bacon and an array of drool-worthy, yummy dips!

I was so excited to have all my friends in one place showering Baby and I will warm wishes and some fantastic new mom advice. I love having so many friends who are moms and can tell me all the nitty-gritty secrets about having a baby and being a mom.

The game in the top picture is pin the sperm on the uterus :)

  What's a shower without some super awesome surprises?: 1. SiRui planned onesie tie-dying, and she even got onesies in all different sizes up to 24 months, so baby can rock the tie dye for years (Voldy had to be involved in the picture taking :). That picture is just a very small sample of all the onesies created! | 2. My sister-in-law, Heather made us a photo collage of baby pictures of Dave and I... how much did I cry when I opened this? So much. | 3. SiRui also planned an adorable canvas on which everyone wrote wishes for Baby and our family. The finished product is so cute! | 4. My friend Dawn does wood burnings and made these super cute wood burnings for the baby's room, I can't wait to hang them up! Look at that sheep. | 5. Back in August my friends and I went to Alpena, and while in an antique store I fell in love with the vintage baby quilt above. Those sneaky friends of mine totally distracted me and bought the quilt while we were there! I love them :)

Today my wonderful mother and sister-in-laws threw us shower #3... it may be another week before I get the pictures up since being 37 weeks pregnant makes me so tired I never want to move again, but I'll try to be a little more ambitious about it :)

Also, a great big congratulations to our friends Keith and Emily on the birth of their second daughter, Claire! She was born on 11/6/12 and I can't wait to meet that little lady! (Dave and Keith have been friends since they were 8 years old, Dave has already decided that if Baby B is a boy, he and baby Claire will be getting hitched in the future. Watch out Claire! :)
