Baby Shower

I picked the day of the shower blindly when I was 3 months pregnant at work. I remember sitting at my desk and looking at my calendar telling Stacy, "I think we should have it on April 15th since it's a month before we're due." Stacy nodded her head wrote the date down on her calendar. Slowly, we were madly pinteresting everything we thought we would like for the shower from food to decor and etc. Our imaginary shower on our pinterest boards were amazing, but they didn't compare to the shower we had .






Everything fell into place. The  invitations, the food, the decor, the rsvps and etc. Waymon and I decided that we wanted our shower to be coed so that it was for us and not just for me. The more the merrier. The location was our home so that we could finally have a gathering in it. 












People were arriving on that beautiful Saturday afternoon. It was such an amazing feeling to see all of our family and friends celebrate our little girl with us.  Friends brought their yummy signature dishes to share. Friends helped us set up the party. Friends and Family helped make us make our vision come alive. Grandpa Willie killed it on the grill with burgers and brats. Grandma Tracey and Grandma Esther mastered mingling with everyone at the party while cleaning up. Stacy, H's godmother<3, surprised us with the most beautiful cake for her. Our guests showered us in gifts tailored to baby girl. We've never seen so much pink! 








There were no traditional games, instead we had people write on diapers for us:) Everyone loved mingling while they ate. A perfect day for our girl was the best thing we could've asked for. We've never felt so blessed to see everyone pour into our house laughing with us and genuinely so happy for our family. Words cannot explain how happy we felt that day. It was exactly what Waymon and I wanted. We cannot thank everyone enough for helping us everything, stopping by and sharing our happiness. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
