Baby Adam

I knew this was going to happen! Adam is really enjoying all the new baby toys...a little too much. This is how we found him in the baby's room the other night. and he was not the least bit embarrassed that I was taking this picture of him playing with baby toys. Looks like he is asleep, but he was very much awake and had been playing with all the new toys we got at the shower.

My friend Sally gave me some more pictures from the shower, so I thought I would post them.

Showered

My sweet sisters (along with some help from my mom, Aunt Carrie & Elizabeth) gave me the most beautiful baby shower last night. It was so fun and everything seems so official now that I have all the baby gear I need. Am I really having a baby? Somebody pinch me!

Me and my sistas! Jenny & Noel This was the adorable invite that went out. The pregnant lady on the card looks just like me dont you think? Tall, skinny with a cute little bump! :) I am actually the exact opposite of that description.
My cousin Elizabeth OUTDID herself on the cake and cookies for the shower. Check out how the cake matches the invite perfectly! And the cookies were in the shape of little onsies with a "C" on them. She is one talented girl.
My good friend, Sally, made this cute diaper cake. Check out the polka dot diapers! I didn't know those even existed. she said they were Target brand! Look at all my loot! :) Can you believe all those gifts? I felt so special and loved.

Julie couldn't make it for the shower, but sent this diaper bag. I LOVE IT! It is exactly what I wanted. She also made this tie bib. how cute is that.
Speaking of ties. While going through all my baby stuff last night, I realized I might be a little obsessed with all the tie onsies. This is my collection so far. I just think they are so funny and cute. I am sure 5 years from now I am going to look back and be embarrassed and think how tacky they were.

THANK YOU to everyone who came or helped with the shower! Thank you Jenny and Noel for hosting it. It was beautiful.

Welcome to the Shower

Girls! Thank you so much for coming to my shower for Denise. Now, if this was a real life shower we would all be dressed up and making small talk while eating...

Ham Biscuits

Spinach Dip (my personal favorite)

Veggie Tray You gotta have some good ol punch!

And dont forget dessert.

But instead we all get to be in the comfort of our own homes and eat whatever unhealthy snacks we want to. For me that will mean...

If the shower were actually at my home, you would find this banner up on my Mantle.

This banner has already been sent out to Denise along with the girl option below. She can use it for her hospital door or for her own Mantle when the sweet baby arrives. this will help her finally unveil the surprise! I am sure she will have plenty of time to hang this banner up just right. :)

We would then move on to having the guest of honor open her gifts. Here is my gift for Denise. A Burpee Bouquet in a nice green - gender neutral pattern. You can NEVER have enough burp cloths!


Now lets move on to opening the rest of the gifts. Click on the guests below to see every ones special post for Denise.

You Are Invited!

Blogger Baby Shower for Denise

Sunday, November 16th

This is a surprise for Denise and she is probably going to kill me when she reads this post. But that is not going to stop us from giving her a much deserved celebration. Even if it from miles away. You may be wondering how in the world a baby shower is going to work on a blog. Well, here are the details.

1. You can RSVP for this shower by posting a comment and then sending me a separate email at hogwashdesigns@hotmail.com on or before Saturday, November 8th. Please make sure to give me your full name and address when you email me because each guest will be receiving a party favor in the mail! :) If you do not already have Denises address, let me know in this email and I will get it to you.

2. Each guest will do a post on their blog on Sunday, November 16th. Your post should feature pictures of your gift for Denise. Please remember Denise does not know if she is having a boy or girl...and neither do I!!! If you know, please don't spoil the surprise with your gift. Make sure gifts are gender neutral! Denise (and all the rest of us) will "unwrap" her gifts by visiting each blog and seeing her goodies on the shower day. Denise is not registered, but I am sure we can all think of some basic things that every mom and baby needs. After the shower date, everyone can package their gift up and send it in the mail for Denise to enjoy in person

3. There will be a prize given for the BEST POST. Be creative, funny, sentimental...go all out! This is not a contest for the best gift, but for the best and most creative post. I will be judging and the winner will receive a special necklace from hogwash designs. If you don't like my necklaces, sorry.

If you know and love Denise, please join us in celebrating her "miracle baby" and the wonderful wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend that she is!

Dont be afraid to RSVP if you dont know me personally or because you are not a regular commenter on my blog. As long as you know Denise, you are welcome to participate.
