Baby Shower notes
Baby shower(s): Yes, I was super blessed with 2 back - to - back showers. Here are some highlights:
1. She has enough clothes for the next 9 months. She'll mostly live in onesies, so now I have a legitimate reason to invest in Babylegs. I love the Etsy website, it's a way I can support WAHM (work at home moms), Knotty Baby Wear's creator is quitting the biz! I look forward to some deep discounts! I have yet to make a purchase so I am super excited.
Pablo was so against these if the baby was going to be a boy, even the gender neutral colors. He said leggings don't belong on boys. Ay, the machismo.
2. The cake(s)...mmmm...Love, absolutely love Porto's cakes. Ours had fresh bananas with custard between chocolate cake and Cuban cake (yellow cake with Brandy). My mom's cake was fresh strawberries between cuban cake and yellow cake.
3. Games: As a teacher, I wanted some games that required some mental skill: we had a fill-in-the-blank nursery
rhymes game along with a creative activity, decorating plain onesies. We also did measure the belly with toilet paper squares. The best was the blindfolded diaper change by the boys.4. Friends and family: Vida's godmother (Lisa) and Lauren coordinated our shower. Lauren's other half, Brian shared his birthday with us (it was the same day as the shower). At my mom's place, it was emotional to look around the room and realize that most of the people have known me since I was an infant! My mom is Lisa's godmother, so it's just beautiful to see it come full circle.
