Baby Shower.

This past Saturday was my baby shower (wow, almost wrote bridal shower, that was um 2 1/2 years ago!). My mom technically hosted it, my cousin Kristina organized the games, made the favors and pretty much put it all together. 


Cake & collage. Collage was made by my cousin, and it's really cute! Pictures throughout my pregnancy and our wedding picture. 

The cake says Welcome Baby Crane. A princess in the making. I thought it was adorable, and it was really delicious, too! Wegmans is the place to go for cake! 




My cousin Kristina and I.



My side of the family.



My father-in-law's side.



My mother-in-law's side.

We played a game where everyone had to take as much toilet paper off the roll that they thought they would need to wrap around my whole belly. I thought this was a really cute game and better than taste the baby food and try to figure out what kind it is. 


My mother-in-law was so close! She was about 1-2 inches too long.


But my little cousin Gwennie, the youngest of them all, was just about perfect!


My mom was way too short, I think she was trying to make me feel good!


Mommy and Daddy to-be.


Favors. They had little cupcakes inside of them with pink or blue icing. They were delicious, too. The blue was cotton candy and the pink was strawberry icing. Mmm!


All the grandmas & grandmas to be. Sitting is Mr. Skinny great grandma, then standing is my mother-in-law, me, Mr. Skinny, my mom, and Mr. Skinny's grandma. We're missing Mr. Skinny's other grandma who lives in Florida. 

Once we got home and took everything out of the bags, we sort of organized it, but we we still need more stuff that we didn't get, but we do have a good base. There wasn't a ton of people at my shower, so I knew we'd have to buy some things afterwards, but that's okay. I'm super grateful for everything we got!


Changing table with just about all the odds and ends we got.


High chair from my in-laws.


Some of the baby's clothes. I have them organized by size, I thought that would be easiest.


All her clothes hanging up. She has quite the wardrobe already!

All in all, I had a wonderful time at my shower and am so grateful for the family we have and everything we got.

How does Babies R Us work after you have your shower? Do they give you a discount to use on the rest of your registry or what?

  2. Awesome!!! Lovely pictures!

    Babies R Us will send you a voucher to come in a a couple weeks before or after for a one time shopping trip and you will get a percentage off the items on your registry that you didn't get. I am someone who wanted to be prepared a little farther in advance than the time they use, so they let me do it early. However, they close your registry after you make your shopping trip.
