Baby Shower

On August 10th, two of my very good friends, Lindsay and Alisa, threw a baby shower for me (and Eisley!). It was just AWESOME! I had my closest friends and my momma around to celebrate the newest member of our family coming in just about 7 1/2 more weeks!

To say I'm blessed is an understatement. Each and every one of the people who attended my shower already love Eisley and can't wait to meet her, watch her grow, and help Chad and I along the path of this new adventure called parenthood. I missed my friend Jen and wished she could be there, but she was put on best rest awaiting her little precious daughter, Kate! Mandy made sure to make Jen a special plate of all the good food and take it to her afterward! :-)

The shower was set up in stations, which is totally a 'teacher thing' to do and I loved it!!
There was:
1. a food station which included all the food from cravings I've had during my pregnancy. Banana peppers, wedge salads, cheese-its, and spaghetti O's were just a few. Yep, you read that right, Spaghetti O's.
2. a photo station where people took fun photos with cute baby props.
3. a place to sign a cute photo frame for Eisley's room.
4. a headband making station. Holy cow, do I have some creative friends!! I have some of the cutest headbands for Eisley! Chad will have to rescue Eisley from our dress-up session when she first gets home! ;-)
5. a diaper message station where everyone was able to write fun messages to us on Eisley's diapers for middle-of-the-night changes. Most of them were addressed to Chad...little notes for Chad  when he'll get up to change her at 2 or 3am....haha! ;-)

I received some awesome gifts for Eisley and her room and can't wait to put them to use! What a great day with friends and my mom! Lindsay and Alisa did a wonderful job of planning this special day for me. There aren't enough ways to say thank you for the perfect day celebrating our little girl!

 This cake was DELICIOUS!!! It was a marble cake with raspberry filling. Lindsay, this cake was...perfect!!







 Love this picture!
 I loved this handmade sign! We will be using it for our maternity pictures!

 Love Auntie Alisa and Auntie Michele so much!! Eisley is one lucky girl!
 Yep, the belly is huge...and still growing!

How can this picture be any cuter?! Can't wait to introduce Eisley to all her teacher Aunties!
