Baby boy has been officially showered! Some great friends offered to have a shower for me and my family and friends. We had a fun afternoon together!
I've known for a while I wanted orange and blue as a theme for his nursery so the girls did the shower in those colors too. Even the food matched - Peach cobbler and peach milkshakes with orange chevron straws!
I got lots of fun stuff including monitors, sound machines, appliqued bibs/burp cloths, and bathing supplies. I also got the "all-important" lovey! I got a blue bunny lovey that is just like Katie's pink bunny loveys. When I showed it to her when I got home, she immediately wanted to take it to her room. Instead, we just introduced her bunnies to their new brother bunny and that seemed sufficient!
I also received lots of clothes! Boy clothes are a very new thing to me so instead of ruffles and flowers and pinks and purples - I was showered with sharks and pirates and trucks and cars and dinosaurs on the clothes. I love the incredible contrast from girl to boy and am excited to dress him up! (Can you still say "dress up" for a boy?)
I also got a super nice (understatement) Kate Spade diaper bag. Despite my strong USC roots, I have an affinity for all things orange so I absolutely adore this bag! It came with a changing pad inside that I joked wasn't really for the baby to be laid on, it was to place under the diaper bag to protect it from germs and dirt!
Thanks to my friends for hosting and family and friends for showering us with gifts and love! And speaking of thanks - I actually went home the night of the shower and WROTE thank you cards. It was quite an accomplishment! I brought them to work to address and mail and just recently found them - unaddressed and unmailed. Please forgive my tardiness on the thank yous. They've been written just not mailed!
One more side note - a few people keep asking for belly pictures. I'm not a fan of belly pictures of myself at all. Mainly because there's belly and butt and arms and chins that appear in the picture. But the shower was in early June so that puts these pictures at 26 weeks. Yep - 14 weeks to go! Can you imagine what 40 weeks will look like?!

What an awesomely decorated shower!! And I want that diaper bag -- coolest one I've ever seen!
It was so fun giving you that shower and getting you ready for all boy things!! Love the diaper bag too--when that child is grown and doesn't need a diaper bag, I better see you carrying it as a purse (or I will come steal it)!!!
