The party was hosted by "The Girls" (see above) and was a book theme...to my surprise! So many cute little decorations for the theme including a homemade banner (as seen behind us) with pages from The Hungry, Hungry Caterpillar and cute little cupcakes with mini-books stuck in them.
We played some book themed games including I Have Never (a much more PG rated version) and everyone was asked to bring a book in lieu of a card to build Baby B's book collection. Such a great idea and now we have so many great books for many nights of stories!
I was also paid back by having to go through the game where everyone cuts ribbon to guess the size of my belly; which I always made sure we played for each of their showers :) We had a tie and a few who guessed WAY too big (you know who you are!).
Baby Barrett got a ton of great gifts, a lot of bath-time essentials and cute outfits and toys. The best part was seeing everyone. It gets harder and harder for us all to get together. We all have such busy lives with jobs and families of our own, since most of my girlfriends have children already or one on the way. In fact, there were four there who are also pregnant; it must be in the water! A few times I just sat back back and watched all the chit-chat going on; never a quiet moment when you get a room of friends together.
I am so grateful for each and every one of them. They each played a role in our journey, whether it was a supportive email, a hug, encouragement to keep going and most importantly, all the prayers. My true friends came out during that time and it was so great to celebrate Baby B as they all had a part in making it happen.
Looking forward to MANY playdates!!
