Baby Shower #2

Last night my work girls gave me a lovely baby shower at Elijah's restaurant downtown.  So much food was ordered and drinks were poured.  Obviously,  I had endless glasses of water!  We ordered Bruschetta, Olive and Cheese Bread, Calamari and Crab Dip to start us off.  For my main meal I had the Mixed Grill which included grilled shrimp, mahi mahi and salmon with a side of vegetable medley.  Boy was it delicious!  That was a wise decision.  

After stuffing our face it was time for me to open my gifts.  One of my best friends, Jen, got me Baby Einsteins Caterpillar and Friends Play Mat.

Everyone else contributed to getting me 3 months supply of diapers and wipes from Jessica Alba's company, The Honest Company.  I pick my diaper design and they my mail them to my house.  How cool is that!  The diapers and wipes are organic which is an added plus.

After we got our check we walked out to the Riverfront to take a few pictures.  It was such a beautiful night!

I look like I have a Butterball Turkey under my dress, ha!  I couldn't ask for a better group of girls to work for.  I am VERY lucky!!!

 

Baby shower

On Thursday, May 9th, Brian's colleagues hosted a baby shower for us. So sweet of them to do that for us...they definitely went above and beyond! We had around 25 people to attend which I was not expecting at all. Tracy got us a beautiful and delicious cake from Apple Annie's....white cake with strawberry filling. So good....yes, I had a piece :) Believe me, I took my time and savored every bite. 

We played one baby shower game that was for Brian. Who drink beer thr fastest out of a baby bottle. It was between Brian, Ben and Don and it was hilarious. Brian won of course! It was difficult gor them...I told B that it will take time giving Vivy her bottle when he feeds her. 

 

 After the game it was time to open gifts. I couldn't believe all the stuff we got. Brian's mom got us a glider that we got a couple if weeks before the shower, diapers, smocked dresses. Brian's Nannie got her a smocked dress as well. Got a much needed breast pump from Holly and Brad. B's sister Carole got a door swing, wipe warmer and Aveeno bath products. From everyone else at the shower we got several Baby Einstein toys, books, toys, Bumbo seat, blanket and clothes. Everyone was so generous and I am so grateful that we have all these wonderful people in our lives. Can't wait for everyone to meet little Miss Vivian!
