Baby Shower with Family

28 weeks, 3 days pregnant

Today was our last baby shower, this one was hosted by my aunt Martha and my uncle Ricky and my whole family came! It was so nice to see everyone, I hadn't seen most of them since June when I was only 2 months pregnant. Baby G has grown exponentially since then!

When I arrived, I was blown away by the beautiful decorations! The theme of the baby shower was bears and Ricky and Martha really went all out decorated everything with pink and brown bears. It was adorable!!!



Ricky and Martha and all the beautiful decorations!











The staircase was decorated with pink and brown teddy bears, each holding a letter that spelled out "BABY G"! So cute!!




My wonderful cousin Patty made a delicious lasagna and avocado salad! Soooo good!




Jorge and the yummy food!

It was great to get together with my cousins and my aunts and uncles. They are always a bit crazy (you should have seen them competing in those Baby Shower games, haha!) but we love them all and we had a fabulous time! ;)

A special thank you to Ricky and Martha for throwing us the shower and being so thoughtful and generous to us and to Baby G! We love you tons!

Baby Shower with Coworkers

28 weeks, 2 days pregnant

Today was my coworker shower, hosted by my good friends Beth and Sara. We had a lovely time with the ladies from the office! The food was absolutely delicious! Sara made made these adorable cards for the games that matched the invitations and she also made these gorgeous favors filled with candy. So pretty!

My favorite game was the Mystery Chocolate Bar where you had to guess what melted chocolate bar was in each diaper... so funny!

A big thank you to Beth and Sara for putting this all together! And thank you to everyone who came! I had a wonderful time!! Thanks for making it so special! :)

Baby Shower with Friends

27 weeks, 3 days

Today we had our first Baby Shower. It was a small get together with some friends, hosted by my dear sister, Cindy. My uncle Ricky and Aunt Martha were so kind enough to let us have the party at their house! We had a wonderful time and we're so thankful to all that were able to join us!



Cindy really put a lot of thought into everything -- the house was decorated beautifully, she had so many details: from the personalized napkins, to the beautiful pictures around the house.









I got teary eyed when I saw she had a frame up with a picture of me and Jorge with my belly and next to it a picture of my mom and my grandmother at my mom's Baby Shower! So beautiful and unexpected!



Right next to the picture are these adorable cookies she had made. They totally match our "About To Hatch" theme! So cute!



Cindy made all the food herself, from the shrimp wraps, to the crostini and she even made my favorite desserts! Everything was just scrumptous!












We had a great time playing games: Who Knows Mommy Best, Newborn Know-How, Baby Animals... but my favorite was Mystery Baby Food! It was so funny to see everyone's faces as they tried the different flavors to guess what each would be! Priceless!

It was so much fun catching up with old friends! Jorge and I had a really good time celebrating our little Baby G! Thanks so much to everyone for everything you did to make it so memorable!
