February 7th, I had my first shower and it was a blast! The girls from church hosted and they went way above and beyond anything I could ever ask for! Everything was perfect from the food, to the blue and brown decorations and even an adorable diaper cake. The hostess also surprised me by making a scrapbook. They divided up the pages and each contributed one or two layouts of many of Reed’s first milestones, including the holidays, bath time and even his first haircut. Then came the biggest surprise of all and at this point I literally broke into the ugly cry and couldn't hold it together! The hostess also got me our stroller. Now, I know you are thinking oh that is so sweet, but really have you seen the Bob strollers? Well, this is the stroller we have decided to go with, it is a jogging stroller that is still able to hold an infant carseat. They are pretty pricey; Josh and I were even a little embarrassed to ask for something so expensive. We went ahead and put it on our registry hoping to get some gift cards to go towards it; never expecting to actually receive it as a gift. So after looking through my scrapbook that the girls had made, fighting back tears the whole time and then thinking the shower was over. I look over and see the stroller coming my way and I lost it. They had already done so much and I had already opened so many gifts from everyone, I just couldn't believe it! The shower was perfect and I am so blessed with amazing friends! I am so excited I get to share motherhood with each one of them. Thank you so much Ashley, Amy, Lauren, Tara, Jennifer, Sydney, Laurie, Shea, Leslie and Jamie for the best shower ever!
Look at all the yummy food!
Perfect homemade cupcakes!
All the girls!
