Baby Shower

Yesterday my sisters Carma and Amanda and my friend Sabrena (with the help of her mom and sister) threw a baby shower for me. It was a lot of fun to see all the family and friends that have supported us during this journey. I missed those who were not able to come but look forward to seeing them after the baby comes.
Here are a few pictures. I was so busy talking and catching up with people that I didn't take any pictures with people in them....I guess I am a little like my sisters. (I always tease them that they don't take any pictures of people while on vaca)
Here is the cake that Sabrena's mom made. I didn't know they still had finishing touches to put on when I took the picture. They put teething rings on the sides.


My sisters had people decorate onesies for the baby. These are just some of them. They all turned out SO CUTE!

Many of my family chipped in for the crib and mattress. Because Mike's work has mandatory overtime this month we were not sure when he would actually be able to set up the crib so he did it last night.

The quilt is not the one that came with the bedding set (my mom is turning it into a wall hanging). This one is the one my mom made. Here is a close up.

We won't be using the crib at first but it is nice to have it set up so we can finish arranging the baby's room/office. I admit I overdid it this weekend between the shower and then coming home and starting to set things up, etc. Even though I drank TONS of water I started having some swelling. I am really have a hard time accepting that I shouldn't be doing as much stuff, even if I feel like I can.

I really like the Mickey theme. Seems pretty original in a sea of jungle/airplanes/blue/brown etc. that most people have these days.

Thanks! I almost switched it to jungle just because I love monkey's for little boys (and your mom got us the cutest stuffed monkey) but we are a Disney family at heart so we stuck with Mickey.
