Office Baby Shower

The girls from the office where I used to work threw me a baby shower yesterday. It was SO sweet of them! Here are some pics:

Bibs and bottles

Fun toys, including Roll-Arounds, keys, a teddy bear, a bunny, a silver rattle (which I LOVE), a pink blanket, a Tweety rattle and three pacifiers - one of big red lips, one that says "Princess in Training" and one that says "Mute Button"

Snuggly sleepersTo my wonderful friends, thank you so much for throwing me a wonderful party! It was so much fun! And thank you for the gifts!!! I love you guys!

Claire's Crib

Our crib arrived. So of course, I put Steve right to work. The crib is up, the bedding is in and the monogram is on the wall. Here are some pics:

The crib was a little too big for the Jeep; but when it's raining outside, you make it work. Notice how cramped Steve is. He's sitting just a little too close to the steering wheel and was barely able to move his feet to drive. Oh the sacrifices a daddy will make for his little girl!

I took no less than 30 pictures of Steve assembling the crib, but I doubt that any of you want to see all of them. So here is one.

Here's Steve putting up the monogram.

And voila! Our beautiful nursery!

Thank you, Babe! It's beautiful! I appreciate all of your hard work putting this together! You're the greatest!!!

Tulsa Baby Shower

I had the first of my baby showers last weekend in Tulsa. It was hosted by my fabulous sister-in-law, Shannon. It was so much fun! (I don't have too many pictures that were taken at the shower since the batteries in my camera died, but I did take pictures of my gifts.)

We had 20 guests in attendance. Thank you to everyone who came. It was so good to see you!!!

We also received a few gift cards and monetary gifts. I used them to purchase Claire's crib. It's on order, but here's the catalog picture of it. I'll post more pictures once we get it set up in her nursery.

Thank you again to everyone who came. I had so much fun and loved seeing everyone!
