It's a girl!

This Sunday I helped host my friend Katie's baby shower. Little Jordan will be arriving on the scene towards the end of September and I can't wait to meet her! The shower went off without a hitch and the food was superb, thanks to my friend Jenny who is the BEST cook I know. Of course you can pretty much guarantee that when us girls are together there is good food to be had and plenty of it. I left the joint busting at the seams! No surprise there, I guess I can blame it on the massive amount of cupcakes, fruit tart, and ham that I shoved down my face!

Baby showers with soon to be new moms are so fun. It makes us somewhat new moms feel like old pros. As Katie opened her gifts you could hear us veteran moms around the room say things like "oh you'll really use that" or "you can't have enough of those." Katie got lots of cute things including a ton of baby girl clothes. People just LOVE to buy girl clothes, they are so darn cute! I would post a picture of Katie but I would have KILLED someone had they posted a picture of me bloated beyond recognition. So I won't do that to her, even though she does look super cute. So here are some decorations instead.

Can it get any cuter than a clothesline full of pink! Thanks Maria for the idea!
Stuff, stuff and more stuff!

Little tidbits of butter cream bliss!

I totally agree with you--when I saw pictures of myself from baby showers, I honestly thought I would die of mortification! You are a good friend!

I have never seen the clothesline decoration before but I love it! So cute!! The girl clothes are SO adorable--I know either Bryan and would have to get a second job if we had a girl the second go around...

The clothes line turned out cute, you can thank Beth & Denisha for that idea! I was just the bloated one opening the presents :)

And I'm better late than never- right?!? My mom got a couple of pics of me opening presents, and I don't plan to share those any time soon, so I was glad to see the decor, Andrea's gift and the food in your blog instead of my constantly swollen calves.
Thanks again for helping host the shower, which I think was a huge success. Everyone had a good time, and we got a nice mix of necessities and cute stuff.
