Shower For Baby K
A few weeks ago my very sweet (and talented and wonderful and awesome) friend, Jamie, threw me and my baby girl a baby shower. Jamie has two kids, works full time, and still had time to pull together this beautiful shower. It was amazing!
When Jamie started planning the shower she said, “I don’t know why, but when I think of you I think of Barbie”. Um, maybe because I played with Barbies… until I was in high school. I may have even had a couple in my locker. Wow. I can’t believe I said that out loud. That’s embarrassing! Jamie went with a retro Barbie theme and it was perfect!
On twitter and Facebook I’ve been calling the baby Baby O or Oprah. I’m going to let you in on a little secret. We’re not really naming our baby Oprah. Her name starts with a K, but we’re waiting until she’s born to do the big reveal 
I love how she used my bump pictures as part of the decor
The most important part of any party to me are the desserts. I LOVE desserts! My husband got me baking lessons as a shower present. I spent the day before the shower helping make the cake and other desserts (if you’re in the OC area and need a great caterer, email me for Courtney’s info!).
I’m not much a cryer. A few gifts got me tearing up, though. The first was an audio book of “Goodnight Moon” read by my BFF’s kids Owen and Emma. Another one was little, baby pink Adidas soccer cleats from Michelle. But, the one that got me doing the ugly cry was from Brayden. He got his baby sister a pink baby blanket. It’s the same blanket that he has in blue and calls his “baby blanket”. He sleeps with it every night. My favorite part about this picture is the look on Emma’s face. Every time I cried while opening a present she had that look on her face. Love her.
Speaking of Emma, she’s been at all of my showers. She was just two months old at my bridal shower. Is she not the cutest?
It was an amazing day. Baby K and I were showered with beautiful gifts and so much love! Thank you to all of my friends and family who were there! It meant so, so much to me! Special thanks to Trista for sitting in the sweltering heat and taking pictures for me! Thanks to Michelle from Purdy Burdy Handmade for making the gifts! And a HUGE thank you to Jamie for throwing me the best baby shower ever! Words can’t ever express how thankful I am for not only the party, but our friendship!
