Baby Shower and Third Trimester Begins
Over the weekend Little Miss Wiegand was spoiled by family and friends at my baby shower! My sister, two of my bffs and myself worked really hard for the last couple of months, planning and organizing everything! We went for a Kate Spade stripes and floral type theme and everything turned out perfect! We had a brunch in my Nana's gorgeous backyard with all the lovely ladies in my life! It was definitely a great way to kick off motherhood the day before my first or last Mother's Day (depending on how you look at it)! We played a little baby quiz, celebrity baby game, and enjoyed my favorite It's Its ice cream sandwiches!
I opted not to open gifts with everyone because I wanted James to get to experience some of the fun also! I would highly recommend any mama-to-be doing this! After bringing the gifts home we spent a good 2 hours opening everything, and that was without all the ohhing and ahhhing that happens at a baby shower! It was exhausting just doing this with James and I; I can only imagine how worn out I would have been opening gifts with all my family and friends! Not only that, most people (in my experience) don't want to sit around for 2 hours watching someone open cute onesie after cute onesie! We did get some really adorable outfits though! I can't wait to put our little in some of them and snap pictures for the guests that purchased the items! We were also gifted several other baby essentials but still have quite a bit to purchase; carseats, stroller attachments/accessories, video monitor, play yard, crib bedding, bottles, breast pump, and many more diapers! I'm looking forward to the shopping we'll be doing but I'm sure James is over it! :)
