Baby Shower

This past Saturday Shelby hosted a baby shower for me and Dunebuggy.  She was such a great host and everything was amazing!!  We began the shower at a nail spa near her house where we got pedicures.

Stacey and Tricia take a quick break from their pedicure for a photo.

I haven't had a pedicure since January and I don't know why I waited so long...it was heavenly!  With the exception of the occasional tickle it was so nice to be pampered.  My toes are a pretty pink now and I am determined to keep them looking good up until the arrival of Baby Stepp.

Happy feet!

After the pedicure we went to Shelby's house.  It was decorated beautifully!  Everything was decorated in pink and green and in the center of the tables she had beautiful bright pink and green flowers.  

On the walls she had hung quilt squares which I later learned my mom and sisters had sent for her to use in a quilt that she is going to sew for Dunebuggy.

Love the quilt idea!  I can't wait to see the final product.

We got crafty and decorated quilt squares to add to the collection on the wall.  Dunebuggy is going to love her quilt!

In the doorway, hung an adorable fabric banner that Shelby made for Baby Stepp.  It is now hanging up in her nursery and looks fabulous!

During the shower we stuffed our face with delicious treats that Shelby and her mom made.  There were sandwiches, bruschetta, shrimp crostinis, strawberries with strawberry marshmallow fluff, and mini cupcakes.  We washed it all down with sparkling raspberry lemonade...delicious!

 We ended the shower with gifts for Dunebuggy.  The first gift was from Tricia and was so amazing.  She had sewn pretty pink burp clothes which will most definitely come in handy.  In addition to the burp clothes she had sewn a Dunebuggy size Alabama Crimson Tide blanket along with a matching tutu!  She is going to be one stylish baby come football season.

The next gift was from Stacey.  Stacey actually attended the work shower and she had been told to not bring a gift but of course did so anyway.  She gave Dunebuggy the sweetest and softest blanket.  It is a white blanket with pink hearts and is trimmed with pink satin.  Dunebuggy is going to get a lesson on how to share early on in life because I am loving the blanket for myself.

The last gift was from Shelby and was a basket full of goodies!  There were bottles of various baby washes, lotions, oils, and powders.  She also included two swaddling blankets that we both had been eyeing for some time.  Being the crafty lady that she is, she made a wipe holder and several cloths out of fabulous fabrics.  I love that they are unique and nobody will have one that is the same.  The last item in the basket was a pair of nursing pajamas that we had seen while shopping for maternity clothes together.  We both fell in love with them because they were so soft and comfy looking.  I can't wait to wear them, I am going to break them in now so they will be even softer once I am nursing.

Overall the afternoon was unbelievable and I am so grateful to have such wonderful friends.  Those that couldn't make it missed out on an amazing shower!  Thank you Shelby for hosting the shower and making me feel so special and thank you Stacey and Tricia for celebrating such a joyous time with me.  Dunebuggy is one lucky little girl and I can't wait to meet her and introduce her to you all!
