Brown and Blue Baby Shower

Last Friday my sweet friends Darby and Stephanie threw me a baby shower. When I walked in and saw all the brown and blue decorations I was seriously giddy. LITTLE BOY STUFF IS SOOOO CUTE!!! At least it is to me, after being surrounded by pink ponies, mermaids, fairies and princesses the last 5 years. ; )

Darby made this adorable diaper wreath. It's so dang cute I couldn't bear to take it apart so for now it's hanging up in baby boy's room.


Stephanie made this awesome diaper cake with all kinds of goodies like binkies, bottles, tiny shoesies and little socks hidden in there.

BLUE-berry cupcakes to go along with the breakfast food theme

And an amazing spread of breakfast foods like homemade scones, an egg and sausage casserole, fresh fruit, sticky cinnamon buns, and candied bacon. So yummy!

The two amazing hostesses, Stephanie on the left and Darby on the right. (and Big Baby proudly featured in the middle ; )

It was a great night of food and friends, and so much fun opening little boy presents.

My friend Laura made him the coolest little pirate blanket that was wrapped in this box. Referring to my Halloween costume she wrote, "Fer the buried treasure within the pirates booty! argh!" So awesome, cute and creative!

Group shot of my wonderful friends and supportive ward family.

When I came home with all the little man clothes and boy stuff (hello first Tonka truck!!) Taber was SO excited. Every time he'd see an outfit that was particularly "manly" he would say, "Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!"

I'm so happy our little guy decided to stay in so I could go to my baby shower. Today I saw my doctor and I was dilated to 4cm and 80% effaced. She said this baby is ready to come and he'll probably come fast. She scheduled an induction for Thursday morning so in 3 days or less, we'll finally get to meet him! Can't wait!

Four centimeters?!?! I can't believe you're not in labor yet! Wow, you are so lucky you have a body that actually likes to let your babies be born and not try to trap them in there forever. ;) That's awesome, it is totally going to be fast once those contractions start.
Love all those cute boy clothes, you had a huge turnout at your shower! You are so loved everywhere you go. :) Can't wait to see pictures, good luck, it's so soon!! Woo hoo!!

What a fun shower! I love all the manly clothes. I think my favorite is the little ties. Church is the one place that you can dress them up...other than that they're mostly in t-shirt and shorts. Good luck with the labor and delivery!

Bec and Ryan said...

good luck with the delivery and all that goes with it! I hope that it all goes smoothly. I'm excited to see pictures of your little boy!
