Last weekend we traveled to Jacksonville for our first Baby Shower hosted by Kevin's sisters and Mom. It was intimate and incredibly special, just perfect for our Lil Princess. Of course, Cinderella themed. Though I'm not sure if it's because our little one will love Cinderella or because I love Cinderella :-) (or because our whole family loves Disney!).
During the entire Registering process I began to get a bit disheartened, thinking there's no way we'll EVER be able to get all of the stuff that Baby P needs (forget about the "wants"). Well, this is obviously why people have showers. I never truly grasped the importance of buying stuff off someone's registry until now (more so for a baby shower than a wedding shower). My pregnancy has been extremely hormonal, but just the thought of people purchasing stuff just for Baby P has me very emotional. And seeing each item, every article of clothing, every baby sock, every diaper, makes me more grateful for our loved ones. And it definitely helps ease a bit (read: a lot) of the tension in this house being able to visualize it all coming together before she gets here.
Kevin's sister was an incredible host and the decorations were so sweet and too perfect.
Trying my hand at guessing what exactly was in that diaper:
And I was so happy to be able to have Kevin join us to open the gifts because, quite franky, I'm not one for being the center of attention. I get really nervous having people focus attention on me, so it was nice to be able to share it with Kevin.
That is literally a crate full of handmade headbands and headbows!!! Baby P definitely has a nice collection already... I was in headband heaven!
And The Cake. Oh The Cake. The Centerpiece in all its glory. Let me tell you NONE of us wanted to cut into this thing.
But we did. And it was delicious.
Here are a few more details from the event:
I am so grateful for my husband's family, who made me a part of their family from Day 1.
This event was fit only for a princess. Everyone's waiting for your Grand Entrance, Lil Princess!
