Shower Thread - AW & PIP Here!

So my bio parents aren't together, and I am my dads only child. He told me today that he is throwing me a "baby bath"( he has no clue what it's actually called lol). I just thought it was the sweetest thing in the world. My dad is very manly man who ride motorcycles, hunts and fishes, a Freemason/ Shriner, etc. So him telling me this just warmed my heart and and I can't stop giggling at it! He is such a sweet man! I can't wait to see him with his granddaughter!

Totally with you here.  My first isn't until May 29th and then we'll be having one after baby is born.  I was lurking on the July board since I'm so close to being a July mom and tons of them have had showers already.

Awe, those are super cute! I'm a major stationary nerd but here people don't do invitations for showers...I'm kinda sad I won't have one for the baby book.

@pcrunk, I did the s'mores favours for my sisters wedding shower! Huge hit. I love the bear theme, so cute!

[dogmama22]

Thank you @pcrunk and @imapenguin! So cute!! I love the woodland animals with both! That cake looks amazing as well and I love the name choice!

That is adorable. I cannot wait to see what his baby bath will be like! Definitely PIP here!

 mrskblack11 your shower looked like something out of a magazine- very sophisticated!

@pcrunk i love your shower dress!

[mrsmonogrammed]

laurenlou83 we has garretts popcorn as my wedding shower favor with a little sticker that said "he popped the question". It was a HUGE hit:)
Your shower looked beautiful!!

[laurenlou83]

mrsmonogrammed, I LOVE Garrett's popcorn!! My sister knew how to please a pregnant, Chicago girl that is visiting her hometown I also love that you automatically knew it was Garrett's!!!

[dogmama22]

@littlechivette your shower looks awesome! I'm so glad you were able to make it back home in time to enjoy it!

[periwinkledaydreams]

dogmama22, Bluedaisy, Mine also seems to be one of the latest pre-baby ones, just scheduled yesterday for May 31st! My poor Mom has sooo much going on in her life right now but her and my SO's sister are insisting on making a shower happen together, and mine and SOs families have never met each other, are both large, and are culturally very different from one another so the whole thing is becoming quite complicated! I am here sitting trying to just feel thankful and appreciative rather than guilty or responsible, and somehow answer everyone's 1,000 questions without "being involved in the planning". Wheww.

SO YES, ladies, while I am all sorts of emotionally anticipating my own next month, please continue to post all of your gorgeous shower pictures!!!

@littlechivette,the bassinet is so cute!

I had my shower on Saturday and had a great time with all my girls. We have no family here, so it was super special to have my friends put this together and my two BFF's flew in to TX from MD and CA for the weekend.

Awkward being the center of attention, but I really appreciated my family pulling all of this together for me and SO.

[sabrinaml]

My shower was in Saturday. I also hate being the center of attention (I'm surprised I wasn't covered in hives during the entire thing!). The grandmas and my husbands aunts put it all together. They based it off of the theme I'm using for our nursery. Here's a few photos that I took and a group shot of some of my BFFs that were able to make it.

Diaper cake

My mom made the cake (actually she made 6 of them, one for each table)



Guess the day, sex, and time Extra will arrive. (Complete with a few baby/childhood photos of my husband and I)
One of the 2 hand made elephants we got for our nursery.

Just a few pics from my shower on Saturday: mum and sister did all the prep and best friend did the games. So lucky for their support!
I didn't take many photos but we had a high tea at my house, nice and intimate.
***poof***
Can't believe my shower is done now: that makes baby's arrival feel so much closer!

[Widget123]

This happened today...

ETA: I was going to share a video of my surprise baby shower reveal at work today.  If anyone knows how to get tinypic videos to work here feel free to holler at me


Eta 2: *poof*

My shower was yesterday and my sister did an amazing job!
Here's the food table. Each food aligned with one of the books, but she ran out of time to set it up exactly like she wanted.

This is the yummy cake! I forgot to get a picture of the side, but it said "Peter Rabbit" and "The Cat in the Hat."

Here are the Very Hungry Caterpillar cupcakes and the favors. It's hard to see, but that is s'mores popcorn that says "ready to pop."

The gift table with my favorite decoration. We actually kept the banner for the nursery.

Of course, since we're team green we had to do guess the birth date and sex.

Here is the actual calendar for guesses and the guest book.

As much as we didn't need more clothes, this was definitely a favorite gift! She actually got me a pack of Cubs onesies that goes from birth - 12 mos so LO will be set for a while with their fan gear!

I love how it all came together! We had the perfect number of people that attended and there's very little we need to buy at this point. So grateful for my little sis!

Edit: I realized our last name was in one of the pictures so I removed it while I edited that spot.

[mrsmonogrammed]

Shower was 5/9 and aside from getting FOUR high chairs, it was amazing!
Tables all set up and ready for guests!


My MIL and I:)

Games! (Price is right, and the "leave a note on a diaper" game)


The haul-

And last picture- My H and I with our moms:)

We were so so blessed with such generous family and friends!!

[nicolec78]

My coworkers surprised me today

[Bluedaisy]

nicolec78, the Starwars size stickers are so cool! I totally want those for my son now!

I always get excited when this thread is bumped with a new post so I can check out all the pictures!

[leenziepops]

[periwinkledaydreams]

[txngrl31]

[pghtruelove]
