Showers and More Showers!

The last two weekends have been consumed by baby showers! I could get use to all the attention I am getting with this baby belly and especially considering I'm a thing of the past once Harper is actually born. He will be in the lime light as he should be, because he's going to be such a beautiful little boy.

My mother had a shower for me on May 15th for all my friends in the Pasadena and Los Angeles area. It was so lovely and she really out did herself with everything. The menu was amazing, the decorations were elegant and cute, and all my friends and old neighbors who came topped it off for a wonderful Saturday! My mom had been working so hard on her beautiful backyard to make sure it was ready for the shower and the weather couldn't of been any better for it. The garden was beautiful with lots of flowers, not to mention the blue hydrangea's that were on each of the tables. It was just so lovely! Thank you mom for making it so special. Oh and your homemade apple cupcakes, were a complete hit. Can we say incredible??? I just want to thank all my friends and old neighbors who came to celebrate with me for making it such a special gathering and for all the wonderful gifts you got Harper. I can't wait to show him all of great things he has had waiting for him!

My mother in law, Susie, and her good friend Patty threw me my second shower on May 22nd, this past Saturday. It too was amazing and couldn't of gone any better. It was primarily Susie's friends, but I did invite a few of my OC friends and although not all of them could make it, it was great to be able to spend time with Stephanie and Irina who did make it. Thank you ladies for coming and being part of the celebration! We had belini's (mine were made with apple cider) and the most amazing lunch that Patty prepared for all of us (tea sandwiches included, which if anyone knows me well enough, totally makes for a happy girl). We had lunch outside under the pavilion and later moved inside for the opening of gifts. Harper got so many great things and I can't believe how generous everyone was. I honestly feel so loved, however it may be Susie that is so loved, but since I'm now family the love trickles down in this instance, HAHA!! Susie made an incredible flannel blanket for the baby with surfboards and woodies on it, too cute!! Thank you everyone for making my baby shower so special, it was a lot of fun and I'm glad I got to spend time with everyone of you!

I still have one more baby shower to go with the family on June 5th and I honestly can't imagine what I am going to do with all of the baby items we have gotten and are still to receive! I had no idea babies came with so much stuff! His closet is already packed full of diapers and clothes. His drawers are even stuffed with onesies, shorts, board shorts, little cute shoes (two pairs of high tops which may be the thing that make his mama melt the most), and even blankets! I have no idea where all his things are going to go in the kitchen, nothing has a home yet in there. We have bottles all over the counter top right now. Organizing that still needs to be done.....I'll get to it eventually. I managed to get the swing and the bouncer put together for him today and tonight I'm packing my hospital bag. The hospital bag is just in case he decides to come early, although I'm hoping he hangs on till July 4th. Either way, he's going to be my All American boy with a due date of July 4th!
