When we picked out the name Charlotte for our
little girl my sisters immediately started planning a Southern brunch baby
shower. From the biscuit bar to the copious amount of yellow and gray to
match her nursery... it was the best shower I have been to (even without my
personal bias). I felt so overwhelmed by the amazing generosity and love.
Not only from my mom and sisters, but from my aunts and friends who
traveled to attend! I just kept looking around in awe that so many people love
and support our little family. Be prepared for a million pictures because
I just can't get over how beautiful it was!
Meredith is an expert diaper cake boss. She planned this cake for 6 months. It included 316 size 2 diapers, crib sheet, 4 receiving blankets, headbands and decorations! I would run into her at Target and every time she had more diapers in her basket. I have to say all her work was worth it because it was the hit of the shower! I am still admiring how amazing it turned out.
We played the embarrassing ribbon around my giant belly game. For the record NO ONE's ribbon was too short. Always good to find out you look bigger than you are ;)
The day of our ultrasound my best friend's mom, Cathy, called to tell me she would make me a quilt! I was ecstatic because her quilts are unbelievable. She took me to Ft. Collins to pick out fabric and then I had to wait 3 long months to see it. Even knowing how amazing she is, I was not prepared for how perfect Charlotte's quilt would be! My cheesy smile gives away how excited I was to have it.
I made Austin come help me open presents because I was getting embarrassed with all the attention on me!
Jessica and Emily left Friday night to be here for my Saturday shower. It was one of those gestures that made the shower even more magical and I'm so grateful for their sacrifice!
I'm so grateful that Charlotte will have such wonderful people in her life.

Such a perfect shower! So glad we could be there and I can't wait to meet that precious little girl!
