Last weekend we had our baby shower. There was a huge turnout! Around 40 people showed up...the majority of which was family. We had a lot of out-of-towners, including my mom from Cali and Evans's sis Luisa from NYC. It was great seeing everyone and I had an awesome time. The hostesses went all out and the party was beautiful. The theme was "garden party" and it was co-ed. There was a big spread of food, adorable decorations and a beautiful cake.
My friend Rachel brought a homemade pinata, which she calls a pregnata, shaped like a pregnant lady!! It was hilarious/awesome/amazing.
The pregnata was definitely one of the highlights of the party. The size of the belly was oddly very similar to mine!
The cake was delicious too. The flavor was coconut lime and it was decorated to go with the whole theme of the party.
Our little boy scored a bunch of loot. He is all set and has everything he needs and then some. We are very appreciative of everyone's generosity!
After the shower, my mom hung around for a few days and painted a mural on the nursery wall. It came out awesome! It is exactly what I wanted and she did a great job.
We just have to put up a shelf and we are done with the nursery! Once the nursery is complete, all I gotta do is wait for baby to make his grand entrance! Only 4 1/2 more weeks left till my due date. During that time I plan on doing lots of relaxing and swimming in the pool Evans bought me. It is above ground, 15 feet in diameter and 3.5 feet deep. Pool partayyy!!
You look awesome! So happy and gorgeous! And I'm really loving the mural. It pulls the room colors together. For what it's worth, I started this 36th week feeling like it was dragging a$$ but it's actually flown by. Congrats on scoring all the baby loot.
ReplyDeleteThanks Claudia! Hang in there! We don't have much longer! I remember 2 weeks ago thinking when is this going to END! But now it seems like time is speeding up all the sudden. A month isn't far away!
