Showering Baby OH!

This post is long over due but it took me a while to get the pictures together from various people because of course I took no pictures of my own!

Two weekends ago, two of my best friends threw Baby OH a shower. 
When they both offerred to co-host I was excited because I knew that they would work well together and were both so excited that they made me excited.
I only had three requests:
1) Cake- I LOVE CAKE!
2) The colors be the same as the nursery- gray and yellow.
3) Lemonade- I heart this stuff pregnant!

They spend months planning things together and basically just letting me show up and enjoy!
Which I love about both of them!!
My shower for me was totally stress free!
 My mom offerred to host the shower at her house and I like this idea because it is where my wedding shower was and made it easy for both of my friends since having it at their houses was not an option.  I headed over to my mom's house last weekend and was in awe of how beautiful everything was.
I TOTALLY HAD THE PREGNANT WOMAN MOMENT WHERE I WANTED TO CRY!

My friends and family are awesome!
My two girlfriends decided to keep with my nursery theme of ...
"You are my sunshine."  

So the invitation looked something like this...


 Missie made Hot Chocolate favors which JOE absolutely adored!


 Keely picked out the same cake that Joe and I had at our wedding and had the the invitation placed on the cake.  OMG - speechless!
Not too mention delicious!


The decorations were amazing from washcloth wreath welcoming people on the door, to the table decorations made out of babies socks to the wonderful diaper cake.  Missie and Keely could have been party planners and in fact a number of people thought they were!






The presents for Baby OH were crazy- to the point that when I saw this pile, I quickly looked at Keely and Missie and stated we were only going to open gifts for people who were here.




The gifts were AMAZING and so creative.
Susan (one of my really good Clemson friends) came up from Charlottesville with her mom.  
Susan had hand made cute little animals- a giraffe and a zebra which I totally love, and they two of them had put together this quilt.  They even tied the invitation into it.  
To say that I love it would be the understatement of the century. 
I heart it!


He got a number of sailor outfits which I totally Love
GO NAVY - Beat ARMY!



Basically Baby Oh is loved!


My mom's rocking chair from when she was little painted yellow and the beautiful rocking horse which Keely and Missie made for Bug!


Me and my two awesome friends who planned everything!


Future grandmother's to be.


Joe helping me open the remainder of the gifts after people headed home!
  
 Me by 7 pm... I was exhausted!!

It was amazing seeing all our friends and family but more amazing seeing everyone so excited to welcome this little boy!  
We can't wait to meet you Baby OH!!!!
You are already loved so much!

Thank you so much for the most amazing Baby Shower EVER!!!!
