My WONDERFUL friends and coworkers, Monica and Jasmin, threw me a super cute baby shower with all of my coworkers.
It was really fun! Funny games: putting celebrity children with their parents...I regret to say I got second place, haha :) The other game, I didn't even ATTEMPT. They had like 9 jars of baby food with the labels covered...and each had to guess what they were! And it wasn't like it was "peaches" or "sweet potatoes..." NO. It was like "fruit medly," "chicken, potatoes, and wild rice dinner" and hard ones like that! The most anyone got right was 4!
Ok, so I have all these pictures, and will highlight the gifts, but I have to say there were a couple of gifts that I was like....WOAH....that's creative. NOT that I care any less about all of the others! You guys are so great! I'm totally spoiled.
Here is the delicious coconut-pineapple cake Monica ordered from my FAVORITE place, Kneaders. It was SOOOOO good...
And Monica went to Barcelona a couple months ago, and got this for the baby. She has actually been shopping for her ever since I told her I was pregnant, so it was like dipping my hand in Mary Poppins' travel bag at the shower!! I call her "Grandma Monica" because she will be my baby's Grandma #3 :)
Jasmin went to Hawaii a few weeks ago, and got this adorable mumu/sun dress!! I'm so excited for the baby to wear it next summer!
Dianna and her daughter Jessie actually MADE me this awesome pink tie-quilt. It was funny--they said they made it the night before. I said, "yeah, you guys look a little tired today :)" It is sooo cute, huh?
And my coworker, Steve's wife, Kass is soooo creative!! She made me this really cool paint-can-turned decorative thingie to put things in, I guess (ok, so I have NO vocabulary, I know...) and it had a soft fuzzy blanket inside, but can be used for other stuff in the nursery! She is so talented!!
Gosh, there were so many more things...I am just so grateful for such wonderful friends! I actually feel really guilty when I have a shower because I feel so SPOILED!! But I'm really grateful, because after this baby is born we will be SUPER POOR, so every little bit helps!!
Some other great things I got were:
-cloth diapers to use as burp cloths (I told my friend Wendy that although this is a "boring thing to buy," that I really needed some, and she was awesome and "took one for the team," but was able to have fun getting me some cute little socks too and a first aid kit.
-A cute pink blanket and pillow set from Dalia that say "princess" on it..thank you Dalia!
-The CUTEST little outfit set from Heidi Gunderson. I LOVE the hot pink puffy vest!!
-Heather was really practical (I LOVE that!) and got me a baby carrier and a wipes warmer (that apparently keeps them warm, or course, moist, and doesn't brown them. You're awesome, Heather!
