Baby Lily's Baby Shower

My mom was so excited to throw Baby Lily's baby shower and I was really excited to finally get some baby stuff so that I feel a little more prepared. Be careful what you wish for, Baby Lily was spoiled rotten! My mom even threw it at our house so that we could show everyone our home, the baby room, and the best part.....not have to bring the gifts home since we were already there. It was so nice to be able to go through all of the gifts after everyone left and be able to put them away in the baby room right away. My Prego Belly Cake! My mom came over and decorated, cleaned my house, and made a ton of food for our guests. It was so wonderful. A ton of my family, friends, family friends, coworkers blessed us so much with all of their wonderful gifts.

A lot of my friends who came to the shower were pregnant too....5 total! Here is a picture of Brandy and I belly to belly. She is due in August and she's having a boy. My mom and dad were so generous and gave Brad and I an amazing crib and changing table dresser, along with a ton of clothing, shoes, bibs, blankets, you name it my mom included it in the gift. My parents aren't excited at all to be grandparents.... ha ha ha.

My favorite gift was from my grandma snow white. She sent a sweater that she knit all the way from Newfoundland. She knit the exact same sweater for me when I was little except mine was red. It was so beautiful! My Aunt Nancy sent us the crib bedding all the way from New Jersey that I wanted for the nursery and the matching lamp! It is sooooo adorable and so soft. I can't wait to put it all together!

My sister sent baby's first piece of jewelry a cross necklace from Texas. It is so beautiful. My sister in law Anna handmade a blanket for the nursery that was adorable. It was her first attempt at making a blanket, she did such a wonderful job. My other sister in law Jenn gave my a pink blanket with Lily embroidered on it. All of the Tesch babies in the family have one, it was super special. My friends Mishal and Lexi recovered a glider chair for the nursery with this beautiful fabric and even made a pink pillow with the letter L on it. Its so nice and so pretty for the nursery! I have such talented friends!

Other gifts included clothing, diapers, bibs, blankets, shoes, a life vest for the boat during the summer time from our good friend Wil, diaper bags filled with baby goodies, gift cards, baby bath, a bouncer chair from my girlfriend Brandy, a 2010 Canada Team Olympic infant jacket from the year she'll be born from my friends Tara and Gen, a pregnancy massage and wax from my girlfriend Sam that I can't wait to use, toys, the matching hamper and mobile to the nursery set from my girlfriend Nicole, books, hats, and a jenny jumper chair! It was wonderful to see so much pink in our house and finally have some baby stuff to put away. I'm getting very excited for our baby girls arrival!
