Baby M’s Baby Shower

July 22, 2014 | family, pregnancy

Sorry it took me so long to get these photos up, with the move and everything else going on we have been super busy around here! I had a GREAT baby shower hosted by some wonderful people on July 12th.

I was kicked out of the house the morning of the shower, so my mom and I went to lunch while the busy bees decorated. When I came back, everything looked beautiful! Karen handmade most of the decorations (if not all!) and they worked hard on all of the food, etc.

Karen made this wreath for baby M! She attached chalkboards to it later so we can put it on the hospital door with her height, weight, etc.

The first game has a bunch of questions like “what is Heather’s favorite dessert” etc. and whoever got the most right got a prize.

The next game everyone had to tear off some paper and guess how big around my stomach was. Jennifer was obviously super close.

Baby M was given some amazing and super sweet gifts.

She is already so spoiled and we are so thankful for everyone’s generosity! I had a great shower, and am so glad so many people were there to help us celebrate the upcoming arrival of my baby girl.

QOTD: Have you ever played games at a baby shower? What is your favorite food toe at at any kind of shower?

    Gorgeous baby shower! I love how much detail went into it. Your decoraters really did a fabulous job. I love the wreath that you can put outside of the hospital door. How cool! Oh & of course, you are stunning!

    Your friend is AWESOME! Love the wreath for the front door and at the hospital! SUPER CUTE! Looks like a ton of fun. At my shower and every shower I have been to they always play the “Name that poop” game. (a melted candy bar in a diaper and you have to sniff it and try to figure out what candy it is.)

    • Heather says

      July 22, 2014 at 4:40 pm

      ew not a fan of name the poop lol!

    What a gorgeous shower! And it looks like Baby M got a lot of great stuff! Yes I’ve played games at baby showers! I just went to one this past weekend and we played the one where you melt candy bars into diapers and then have to guess what diaper had which candy bar. Kind of gross lol!

    • Karen :0) says

      July 22, 2014 at 8:14 am

      Haha I saw that one on Pinterest! Sounded a bit messy to me! LOL

    • Heather says

      July 22, 2014 at 4:37 pm

      I never liked the diaper one, glad we didn’t do that!

    The food looks so good. The most recent baby shower I went to had French pastries since the father’s French. I don’t know where they got the croissants but I could’ve eaten the entire plate of them.

    By the way, I used to win the “how big a belly” contest all the time! I would just measure around my belly then substract a bit of ribbon. Never failed LOL

    • Heather says

      July 22, 2014 at 4:32 pm

      LOL too funny!

  17. Lauren @ Lauren's Glass Slipper says

    Oh my gosh I love these pictures!! That cake and all the decorations are precious! So excited for you and Bobby!

    One time I played the game where we had to guess how big the mom-to-be’s bump was. I was within a centimeter! Also, I’ve played “Present Bingo” where you fill in the squares with what you THINK Mom will get, and play along as she opens her gifts. It keeps people involved.

    • Heather says

      July 22, 2014 at 4:30 pm

      present bingo sounds cool!

    What a beautiful shower!! So nice to celebrate you and your new baby!
    I love baby showers (I’ve had 2!) and I love playing games at showers – the more games the better! 🙂

    So glad everything went over well! Thanks for letting me be a part! :0) That cake was ohhh so yummy!!

I’m not suggesting you go into debt to go on vac I’m not suggesting you go into debt to go on vacation. But I am suggesting you remember that time is something you can’t get back, and memories are something that will stay with you longer than things. 🚢 

As we enter the holiday season, maybe it’s time to consider that long overdue vacation instead of quite so many things under the tree? Maybe a few less items for some time away to rest and recharge with loved ones?

@disneycruiseline is great for just that because they truly have something for everyone, from babies, kids, to adults. The cruise we just went on included beach time, pool time, an obstacle course, lots of eating, basketball, foosball, ping-pong, movie, watching, scavenger hunt finding, pirates (the nice kind!), ice cream, and so much more. ✨🫶🏻 

Always happy to answer questions about the most magical cruise line around!

🚢 A vacation should actually feel like a vacati 🚢 A vacation should actually feel like a vacation right? I hear too many people coming home from vacations with their kids that say they are exhausted and now need another vacation from their vacation. 

This is why I love @disneycruiseline. 💖

They have kids clubs included in the price of your cruise fare* that are open for a lot of the day and late into the night. This allows for adults only time at the adults only pool, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. Not to mention, the kids absolutely have a blast. Mine never wanted to leave! 🫶🏻

it’s a win-win situation in my book. They get to go have some fun with other kids, and I get to relax and recharge on my vacation, and then we can also spend quality family time together as well! ✨

Send this to someone you are trying to convince to go on a DCL cruise with you! 😏

*included in cruise fare for kids clubs, not the nursery which is an extra charge.

We absolutely love Orange Beach, it’s one of our We absolutely love Orange Beach, it’s one of our favorite places to visit and feels like home. 🫶🏻

There are so many great businesses with employees that make you feel like family. Here are a few we visited over fall break. Be sure to save this for your next visit to the beach! Have you been to any of these places? 🍊 

@coastalorangebeach: Not only a beautiful restaurant right on the gulf with amazing food, drinks, and servers, but also a really great store with amazing merch! We found some great stuff. If you go to the restaurant, ask for J-Mac to be your server and make sure to get a bushwhacker with a peanut butter floater! 😋 

@florabama_olerivergrill : Right on the bama/Florida line, this fun restaurant boasts beautiful sunsets, a fun cocktail menu (the key lime colada was amazing!) and you can even rent pontoon boats and jet skis from the marina, or take a dolphin cruise! 🐬 

@theorangebeachstore : I’ve passed this store 100 times but this was my first time inside and now I’m mad that I have been missing out all this time. They have a beautiful selection of really nice souvenirs from great brand names you already know and love. Great quality clothing and other things like blankets, cup, hats, and candles. I shopped forever! 

@fbyachtclub_ : The Flora Bama Yacht club is also right on the state line on the bay side and has fun live music, a really nice menu including crab claws, hummus, chicken pasta, and key lime pie. Service was great and we loved the live music. 

Thank y’all for having us! ✨
