Showered!

Baby N and I were “showered” with love on Saturday July 13^th. My sister, Sarah, who I mention quite frequently here, was the magnificent host. She, along with my mother and our family friend Janet spent weeks planning and putting together what ended up being a most perfect day!

The shower was held at my mother’s house, outside by her gorgeous pool, and was decorated gorgeously with white flowers and linens along with a few bunnies to pick up on our nursery “theme” of Peter Rabbit. It was so beautifully done!

Sadly, there weren’t many pictures taken of the day as it completely slipped my mind to spend some time doing so. Luckily my mother in law was able to capture a few moments throughout the day but I was disappointed in myself that I don’t have a single picture of me with my sister or any of my friends and family.

I am so thankful and grateful to all the people that took the time out of their day to come and wish us well. We were surrounded by our nearest and dearest. It was wonderful to see so many faces that I hadn’t seen in a while and to spend time catching up!

I do have to pause to mention, it’s always upsetting when people don’t RSVP. I know my sister reached out to many that didn’t and even after that she never heard from them. My mother always raised me to RSVP (even when it’s not on the invitation) so to have so many that didn’t I know was frustrating for planning purposes.

Prior to the shower, Baby N’s nursery consisted of his crib and his dresser … now it’s loaded to the brim with everything and anything we could possibly need. It was a bit overwhelming to see exactly how much stuff such a small little guy will need and use so early on. I spent quite a bit of time last night going through all the clothing we got for him and I’m still not sure whether to wash it all now or wash just his newborn and 0-3 month items. There is still so much to do and think about. I’m hoping to have Sarah and my mother over sometime soon to help me really organize everything so that I know where it all is!

I couldn’t possibly thank my sister enough for all the time, effort and love she put into planning such a wonderful day. I’m still awed at how perfect of a day it actually was!

Now the fun stuff … pictures!
