Baby Shower #1!

Happy Mama
So this past Saturday I got to enjoy my first baby shower for Miss Olivia unfortunately I have VERY few pics! Lol! No one took pictures the entire time and it went by super fast but I had a blast!
Her loot!
It was jungle themed and we had a lot of food since it was a co-ed shower and I didn't know how many men I would have to feed! We have chicken wings (baked & fried), spaghetti, mac n' cheese, deviled eggs, fruit salad, carrot & celery cups, queso dip, chips, pizza rolls, monkey cupcakes and monkey cake! It was all so good and we played great games some traditional (Baby word scramble, BINGO) and some non-traditional (Baby food tasting contest, How well do you know the parents). The baby food tasting was hilarious! The faces on my guest was crazy funny! We also did a diaper raffle which earned us 8 packs of diapers (NB-1). I got a lot of great gifts but one of my favorites was a handmade blanket that our friend Laurence got for Olivia. It was so thoughtful and something she will cherish (I'll make sure she does!) Overall it was a great day!

We also got another ultrasound last Thursday and we confirmed we're having a little miss :) My placenta moved which is great news! Thank God for that blessing! So we are all happy and healthy her and upon further inspection I think Olivia will look like daddy...not that there's anything wrong with that but I hope I get something in there too! Lol! Either way she'll be perfect and we are getting so excited to meet her! October has flown by and January is getting closer by the minute!
 I also changed the color scheme for my next baby shower in Detroit  I was going to do neutral colors (orange, yellow, purple, green) but decided to do more girl colors (purple, hot pink, gray) and I'm excited about it! My "Ready to POP!" theme is still the same. My mom, grandmother and best friend are helping to throw this one and we'll see how they blend...I'm just going to stay positive. I can't wait to see more family and have fun! I'll make sure I take more pictures at that one!

Sidenote: I'm super proud of myself for using my mad Photoshop skills to re-color my invitation to fit my new scheme!
