Baby Shower/ 35 weeks

My baby shower turned out soooooo good! The food was awsome and decor was so elegant and cute. The colors were mostly brown and blue. Jungle animals (stuffed of course) sat on the mantel over the fire place. My mother in-law and her sister really went all out for me and I am so thankful! Lets just say B is not going naked. He got so many cute outfits and soft blankets! My mom made him a Yankee's blanket that turned out so good, especially since she has never crocheted letters in a blanket before. I had a great turn out and had so much fun!

When I got home and unpacked everything the panic set in. I realized I am going to need some serious organizing help! I have decided that Mike will put up some shelves in his office closet because B's closet is going to need more room. We will probably go back to the store and pick up the essentials we didn't receive (which isn't much) and then just wait for baby to arrive.
