Baby Shower #1

This past week, my Mother-in-law threw me a ward/her friend baby shower. Sadly, minus the few pictures we got before it started, we all totally forget to take some along the way. At least this gives a small glance of how it turned out.
For being in the middle of the summer, we had a pretty good turn out. I got ALOT of cute outfits, shoes..oh and practical stuff too!
And P.S. I am being brave by posting these pictures of myself. Not too fond of the wale"ish" look that I now sport : )

Sneak Preview...

The room is not done yet but piece by piece, the baby's room is finally coming along. I started from the beginning and had all of the bedding made from scratch. We picked out millions of fabrics, well it felt that way for me, and coordinated them all into a pretty good combo! There were many who slaved over helping me coordinate and making all this for me so thank you to those people! This quilt was made by Bryce's sweet aunt. It turned out so fun!
These pillows were also made from scratch!
With the left over fabric, we covered this cute little lamp!
And finally, this beast of a piece of furniture was the hardest part! Bryce's sweet mom volunteered to spray paint it for us (it was white). With the awful hot weather and random monsoon storms, it was quite the project. She woke up super early to sand, spray, sand, spray....It turned out amazing though! It was so worth the wait! What a great Craigslist find!
Since we live with our inlaws, they were nice enough to lend us half of this room for our little baby. As a result, we cannot do too much to the walls since it is just a loaner : ) The other half of the room has bunk beds for guests. It's a very multi-functional room!
