It's Shower Time

This past weekend I attended a Baby Shower/30th Birthday Party for one of my oldest friends and bridesmaid Kelli who will be welcoming her first child (a son) in about a month. She also turned 30 this weekend so there was a lot to celebrate!!

Baby showers are definitely more fun than wedding showers in my opinion, primarily because the gifts are way cuter. Let's be honest a blender and a toaster oven aren't very exciting gifts to watch being opened.

I was able to see some of my sorority sisters and friends from high school that I haven't seen in a while. The great thing about Kelli is that since we were on the dance team together in high school and a part of the same sorority in college we know the same people from both of those parts of our lives.


The shower was held at Kelli's townhouse and hosted by her older sister. She did a great job with all the food and the setup.

Our sorority sister Candace made this AWESOME ECU themed diaper wreath. I've seen diaper cakes before but never a diaper wreath and with all the baby stuff attached I thought it was such a fabulous gift/decorative piece. Candace already promised when I have a kid she's going to make a wreath for my shower that is half ECU and half VA Tech to cover both Kristian and my school.

Me with the mother to be...is rubbing the belly contagious?? Isn't Kelli the cutest pregnant lady? All of my pregnant friends including Kristen (who gave birth a month ago) and Krista (whose due in Oct.) all look adorable pregnant. I just hope I'm as cute whenever I get knocked up.

AOII girls.


These were some of my gifts to Kelli. Her son can't have enough ECU pirate gear. There were more than a few gifts that I had to ask my friend whose a mother "What the hell is that for?"It's amazing all the crap you need when you have a baby.

The shower was great and I'm SOOO excited to meet her little boy (name is still TBD). I told her she'll have to give me a lesson on how to change a diaper. Yes I'm 30 years old and have never changed a diaper. My kids are so screwed.

On a separate note Kristian and I celebrated our 3 month anniversary on Sunday!!!

What a cute shower! I also love baby showers, and that diaper wreath is too cute. Stephen's aunt gave me something similar, using kitchen gadgets, at my bridal shower.

I love your friends dress....maternity clothes really have come a long way from the mumus of the past! And don't worry about the diaper thing...I hadn't changed one either, 2 weeks later I'm a pro!

Is she even pregnant? What a cute little bump! Changing a diaper isn't all that hard. I haven't changed one in a few years but once you do it you never really forget.
