The first weekend in January we hosted a baby shower for Missy at Caroline's house. Baby boy Nathan Richard is due on Valentine's Day and I just CANNOT wait to get my hands on him! Missy is just glowing and rocking being pregnant but I know she's really hoping these next few weeks will fly by and he will be in her arms instead of in her belly. I am so thrilled for her and Mike and know they will be the best parents to little Nate. And Carter's excited for a BFF to throw the football around with!
Nate's shower was a "Little Man" theme and came together so well. With 9 hostesses we were able to really make it great for Missy and Nate! We filled our bellies with great food (delicious cupcakes!) and Missy left with so many of her essentials. She got some cute outfits too! It's fun going to baby showers now that Carter is here and I can see what other fun baby stuff is out there that I "have" to have!
The Decor:
The colors were white, navy and grey, the same colors as Nate's nursery (I hope I can snag a picture of his nursery too, super cute!) We tried to incorporate lots of bow ties and "little man" things that we could. We served "manwiches" and had bottled root beer to drink.
The Hostesses:
There were 9 of us altogether!! (Jordan hosted from Atlanta and made the banner and bow ties, but couldn't make the trip to Texas for the shower.) It sure made things easy with so many hands to help set up and clean up. This is a very organized bunch!
The Pie:
Nancy Pie was an honorary hostess with us! She did such a great job looking cute and pulling up on everything! Don't you just want to eat her up?!?
The Guests:
We were missing Missy's MIL and SIL because of the flu, but we had a really fun group of girls there. Nancy and Alexis stole the show! I love getting together with these sweet girls and we had such a blast showering Missy.
Doesn't Missy look stunning?! Pregnancy suits her...I say she just keeps getting pregnant and having babies, don't you agree? :)
The Gifts:
My favorite gift was the Ole Miss Jon Jon Jordan got her...omg so cute!! And the precious knit broncos outfit Sarah got her...perfect for newborn photos! I got a big basket of all the nasties: nipple cream, gas drops, breast pads, etc. I told Mike to thank me that he wouldn't have to run to the store after Nate was here to buy everything :)
Missy,
I love you so very much and simple cannot wait for this next chapter in your story to unfold. Your life is about to change in the most miraculous and amazing way. Rest as much as you can in the coming weeks so Nate can grow big and strong before we meet him. And the get ready for lots of visits from me and Carter!! Love you!!
