I DID IT

EDIT PICTURES ARE IN NOW!!

Below are some of the pictures of clothing that my little miss got ! The first picture is a tag blanket custom made for her with her name in the centre. I also am very excited about getting a hamper for the nursery thus the picture...











I did it.. I made it to a baby shower without baby in arms (newborn that is) & without it having to be rescheduled or sending exhausted hubby solo.

YAHOOOOOOO!! Now this baby can make her appearance. I think this is the most prepared we've ever been for a baby. Guess Practise does make perfect (except she doesn't have a crib to sleep in yet.. but hubby assure me that he'll find the missing pieces soon)

My shower was WONDERFUL.. Hubby had the house inside / out looking beautiful! I actually sat back & let the individual hosting my shower take over my home & decorate & move what ever she wanted to make the party work for her. It was great to sit back & let someone else do the work. I thankfully had a little cute distraction - her 12 week old baby, she kept me busy!

Being new to this town & my 3rd baby it was surprising how many people actually came. It was a GREAT afternoon. There were no silly baby shower games, no ribbon/bow hats.. Just lots of food (most of which I couldn't eat Gestational Diabetes diet & all) & Great conversation. Oh & did I mention LOTS of great gifts for baby & even a few for me.

To start the gift opening off a delivery truck with a dozen long stem pink roses showed up... initially everyone thought this was from hubby who was long gone onto the golf course however when I opened up the card it was from a GREAT GIRL FRIEND out of town. She had wanted them to arrive in the am to be there for when the party started but this was just wonderful the way they did arrive. How thoughtful is she! Then the gift opening started.

Little miss got great sleepers, cute little outfits, baby wash/lotions, diapers, wipes, receiving blankets, warm cozy blankets, crib sheets, change pad cover, hamper, garbage can, baby monitor with two receivers, picture frames, photo album, rattle, pacifiers, face clothes, robe & slippers & hooded towel everything mostly pink.

Half way through the gift opening the person passing me the presents changed her position to be in front of me & grabbed her camera as soon as she handed me a gift. I opened the card to find out this was from my Girlfriend who had just send the roses. It had a gifts wrapped for each of the 3 misses, box of thank you cards in brown / pink & then a gift certificate for a pedicure at the spa.. YAHOO... you know I'll be getting my pedicure done before this baby is due .. because everyone is looking at your toes during labour..LOL.. It's great to have a such a thoughtful friend even if she's in a different country. It was almost like she was right there with me!

Mama got a new hand made diaper bag, new tea mug, fluffy cozy socks & candle.

Even the two big sisters got a few gifts.. It was a GREAT day.. I just wish I could say the same about Hubby's golf game.. that was not soo good.. I guess that's what happens when you only get out 3-4 times a year.. Maybe next year he'll get a chance to play more.. Hard to imagine with 3 little ladies & this yard but one can hope!
