Our baby shower was awesome last weekend. The hostesses did a fabulous job decorating and we received a ton of stuff for the baby that will be used more than we can fathom.
There were 6 tables decorated with Dr. Seuss stuffed animals and books. Many of the stuffed animals were mine, but a couple of the girls had some of their own to mix in as well. Here are two of the tables: 
The food table contained a Cat in the Hat and Yrtle the Turtle. Look at the little green cupcakes! They have yellow icing..an ode to Green Eggs and Ham. So cute. There were a couple of bowls of mixed jelly beans and some multi-colored goldfish as well. Hee.
This was by far the favorite outfit of the shower. My Mom is holding the little blue sweater that has a white bunny on the front and I'm holding up the little skirt with suspenders that matches it. Adorable.
We got our car seat! Woo-hoo. Just need the stroller now.
LOOK AT THIS. My Dad has this thing he does with my niece - every time she sees him he gives her quarters. She has already filled two piggy banks, so I was in need of a piggy bank for our little girl. My stepmom does ceramics and she made this Cat in the Hat bank for the nursery!! I LOVE IT. I will photograph it better so you can see all the little details she put into it, but she did a fabulous job. Oh, and yes, Pop put quarters in it for the baby, and then a couple of the little girls at the shower added some dimes and pennies because they wanted to.
This was the gift 'o the day though. My sister-in-law built this for my little girl. Can you believe it? They lifted this huge, awkward gift in a big bag onto the table for me and I couldn't begin to figure out what might be inside...never in a million years would I have guessed she would have done this! I also got a bag of some furniture to get us started on making the house a home. I love it.
This is everything opened and displayed on three 8-foot tables. Nice. The food table contained a Cat in the Hat and Yrtle the Turtle. Look at the little green cupcakes!

the title is prefect. You are truly blessed.
I'm so glad you had a good time at the shower! Wish I had been there. These are the first pics I've seen of you in a while. You look great! Ty says I should take back my comment about you having a Halloween baby because he doesn't want you to have to miss it to be in the hospital having the baby, but I still think it'd be cool!
Perfect title...love what I have seen. And your last post of the IKEA goodies - yummy and so fun.
BTW - Yes the tag you mentioned on my blog was from the swap I was in with you. I still have all the ones you did. Though now my goal is to put them to use. Make some cards or little goodies with them.
Thanks!
omg, that cat in the hat bank is so perfect! great, fun stuff.
