Whats up with the name??

Once i heard 'Upside Down Pickle in a Jar' as a metaphor for a baby in a womb, and thought it was pretty fitting for our blog. This is for all the family and friends that Ben and I unfortunately dont get to speak to often. You can feel like you are here in all the action!

Baby Shower #1-Hosted by Morgan and Amy

Yesterday I had my first baby shower!

When I got married, I was so concerned about planning this wedding and making sure everything went smoothly and getting all the wedding crafts were done, that I really didn't put much thought into showers. I had one at the church we attended, and I had one at the Y, where I work.

Here I was at the Church Shower.

And here's what I got at the work shower.
I loved all of my gifts, but I just simply didn't have time to really get excited about the showers because I was completely preoccupied.

Having a baby is different to me though-shower wise.
I can only do so much to get ready. So I was SUPER PUMPED about having my first shower :)

So the shower was at 2, at Morgan's parents home.
Here's what the invitation looked like, except with my information of course!



As I mentioned before, this shower was for my friends from work, family friends, and people I went to high school with. Mom picked me up and we headed there.
Amy and Morgan did a fabulous job on the food:

the bird nest cupcakes were sooooo yummy!

Here are some pics from the shower:

The guests wrote messages to Finn on little owls and then hung them on the tree. Too cute!



 

Me and the lovely hostesses

From Left to right: Amy, Morgan, Katie, Hannah, Nicki, Me, Shannon, Haley, Grandma, Nancy, Brandy, Mary, Jessica and then Ashley and Malina are sitting on the steps.
Everyone looked fabulous!
If you are friends with me on facebook, then you can see more pics.
Isn't that a beautiful group of ladies?! And they all have fabulous taste in baby stuff!
When we got home, we layed out all the gifts and here's what it looked like:
My friends are so generous!
 One of the gifts I'd like to mention is this awesome diaper bag that Hannah MADE!!!:

I cant remember if I mentioned this tree.
But My Dad vinyl'd the tree onto a canvas I spray painted and all the guests from all the showers will put their fingerprints on it. I think it is turning out better than I had planned. And its going to look so cute in the nursery :)

I had an awesome time and really appreciate all that went into the shower!
