Little Man Shower

A couple of Sunday's ago, we had our baby shower, and I must admit...I was really nervous about how it would turn out. I was counting on 3 people to pull it all together and hoped everything worked out. Once again, since this was something about me (well, our baby) I wanted it to be perfect. We decided to go with a co-ed baby shower. A couple of weeks leading up to the shower, I was getting very worried because I was not getting any updates on how things were going. I was so tempted to call each person who said they would contribute to putting this event together, but I had to keep telling myself "No! They are putting this together for you!" I'm working on not wanting to have total control of everything and remembering to pray about it instead.

To be honest, a few things did have me a little stressed out, BUT everything came together beautifully. We had a great time and that's what matters the most. Here are a few pictures from our Little Man themed baby shower:

One of the tables of goodies! My sister made the banner :)

First "game". Ron and I answering questions about each other to see how much we know. He was the winner on that one lol. 

The ladies guessing how big around I am. Look at all the natural curlies in this pic! :)

My outfit for the day. Dress found at Macy's by Guess, earrings and necklace by Premier Designs.

Overall, I had a good time and was so happy to see the love and support from both of our families and friends. A special thanks to my future mother-in-law who provided the food, future sis-in-law who provided the cupcakes and other goodies, my oldest sister who did the decor and facilitated the games, and my mom, dad and little sister who helped tie up all the loose ends. And of course a big thanks to all who showed their support by helping us prepare for our little ones arrival.
