Trip home and Baby Shower #1

Wow, What a weekend!!! I finally got to take a trip home to see all my family and friends and show off this little bump of mine!! It was an absolute blast!! Getting to spend time with everyone, one last time before this little man comes, was absolutely amazing!

It was a little overwhelming, though. I say that because up until this weekend, I do not think it has really hit me that in a few short months, we will indeed have a little infant to take care of! Ahhh!! Up until this weekend, Hubs and I have not really done much shopping for Baby Cole.. Not because we have not wanted to, just because we do not live close enough to a big city to just jump in the car and run get a few things! So being home this weekend, it really hit home that he will be here soon!! I guess one "must have female gene" that I failed to inherit was the "shopping gene..." But let me tell you, there was plenty of shopping this weekend!!

And the baby shower... WoW!! To sum it all up, amazing!! I am soo blessed! First because I have such an amazing, kind hearted, loving mom who wants to make everything spectacular!! She put soo much time and effort into planning the baby shower! From the invitations, to the food, down to the detail on the cake!! Everything was perfect!! I could not have asked for a better shower!!

Secondly, I am soo blessed to have such amazing, generous friends and family!! We really received quite a bit of things we needed off the registry.. It means the world to me to have such an amazing support group!! Thank you to everyone that came to the shower!! And those that couldn't make it, you were in our hearts!

So here are a few pictures from the shower:

Some of the decorations...

The amazing diaper cake my Aunt made and shipped all the way from Germany!!
Mom did a few touch ups once it got there!

Every detailed matched our color scheme!! Cole's room is going to be green and brown with blue and orange accents!! :)



The wonderful hostess!!

I absolutely loved this!!

So excited about this!! A high chair that will grow with him!

Because everyone says I am "small" I had to take this picture..
This a friend who is due the day before... She is not that much bigger.. Right?


My brother, Sister in law and baby sister!! Love them soo much!!


And the blushing grandmas to be... :)

All in all, I had an amazing weekend!! I was definitely worn out by the end!!

Now off to Dallas this weekend for Memorial day!! Hope everyone has a great, long weekend!!
