In two weeks time we have had 3 baby showers and still one to go! We are so blessed to have such good and generous friends and family that are so excited for baby Tucker to arrive.
It began at school with my class throwing me a shower. (When I say my class, I really mean the very enthusiastic and sweet parents of the kids in my class.) They were so cute! They each made a guess about what day they think the baby will arrive and then how big he will be. They had out their rulers trying to figure out the length. I overheard one say, "Oh he will be AT LEAST 11 pounds!" I sure hope that child is wrong. This was followed by a baby bottle chugging contest, cookie cake and gifts. It was so fun and we got so many adorable things for Tucker.
The following day my friends Jessica, Donna, Niki, Brooke, Stephanie and sister Stacey, threw me my 'big' shower with all our friends and family. There were so many details that made it perfect, from glass baby bottles filled with daisies hanging by twine to personalized cupcakes and a grits station that was so tasty. Each person brought Tucker a book in place of a card with their gift to start Tucker a library. It will be so neat to read the personal notes to Tucker inside each cover as we read to him at night. It was so sweet to have all our friends and family help us prepare for the baby, I can't imagine this child will want for anything.
The hostesses and myself: Jessica, Niki, Me, Stacey, Donna, and Brooke.
A sign Jessica painted for the hospital door, it matches the fabric on his crib bedding.
Gifts galore, believe it or not there are piles in all the corners of the room that you can't see!
We recently went on a trip to Gatlinburg with a group of friends that Troy went to Pharmacy school with. They also had a shower for us. It was another shower filled with thoughtful planning and lots of laughs. We played a few games at which I failed miserably. We were each given 3 pins and could not say 3 words, one of which was Tucker, and if we did we lost our pins to whoever caught us saying the word. I instantly lost two by saying Tucker. Each person also used playdough to create a model of what Tucker would look like, it was very entertaining. We received more great gifts including a koozie for his baby bottle, perfect for Troy's child and a painted toy box for all of his books! It was so good to get to see them all again, it is not often we can all get together and hope to do it again soon!
Some adorable personalized cookies imported from Mobile.
It was so difficult to pick the weiner, I mean winner. :)
