I had my first of three baby showers this weekend! It was on Saturday and we had a wonderful time. This one was for DH's side and MIL hosted it. We had about 30 people come. I'm so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family!

My soon to be SIL is so talented. She carved a watermelon to look like a baby carriage and even carved hearts into the wheels. The shell of the watermelon was then filled with a fruit salad. Even the cantaloupe was carved to look like hearts. Also, her gift to us was a hand painted, child sized rocking chair. She hand painted it to match the bedding in the nursery. It was so adorable and it matched perfectly!

I was fortunate to get a lot of cute outfits and a lot of things off of my registery. When DH carried all of the presents upstairs to the nursery, the gifts took up about half the floor space. We are so blessed. We have two more showers in the next two weeks. After that, we are going to have so much work to do!

Sorry to ramble on. Just wanted to share!
