Baby Shower Texas Style

Look whooooooos having a baby!!  This past Saturday we had a shower here in Houston with all of my teacher friends as well as Jarrod's Mom, Aunt Gayle and Cousin Amanda.  The fabulous hosts were Casey and Miriam and they ran with my current love of owls.  There were super cute owls everywhere and I think everyone had a fabulous time... I know I did!  Once again we were showered fabulously with many many baby necessities and I can express enough how grateful Jarrod and I are to have such a supportive and generous friend and family base here in Houston.

I think at this point Jarrod and I are very well set for baby MD's arrival... at least when it comes to the materials one needs to bring home a baby.  We are still working on the mental preparedness.... though we are both in agreement that may never be fully there.

As always photos do the best when explaining the fabulous time we had, so here they are!

Getting ready to predict Baby MD's future with MASH!

Such loving friends and family! 

Hilarious diapers for the night time changes :) 

Traits that Baby MD will hopefully get from Jarrod and I

This started in Maine and finished in Texas! Now we just need a baby pic

All of the owls were so cute and perfect

These make me giggle... and they were SO yummy! 

They even went up the stairs

And across the door

Meet Olivia and Oliver! They are now on our front door! 

Laughing at the word nipples... totally mature enough to have a baby :P

"oh BUGS" awesome teething ring

Stackable rings... totally remember this from being a kid

Play mat! hopefully the dogs know its not for them... 

Who doesnt love a monkey on a baby's butt?

Laughing because I thought the little bags were dog poop bags... Ohhhh babies have poopie diapers too! haha

Beautifully hand made blanket with owls and quotes! 

Texans Robe! Every Houston baby needs this! 

Large boxes always confuse me... belly always gets in the way

Yay the baby can come home from the hospital with us! 

The hostesses with the mostesses :)

Again, I can not say enough how grateful Jarrod and I are to everyone who came on Saturday as well as those who have showered us from afar.  I would be remiss in mentioning that we have received many wonderful gifts from family and friends from afar.  We have love coming at us from all over the US and that is such a nice environment to bring Baby MD into.  

Thank you again to Miriam, Casey and Casey's mom who put so much work into all of the amazing details of this shower.  I couldn't ask for a better Houston shower that just like the Maine one was so me.  I can not wait to read through all the traits and diapers and share all of the hilarious futures for Baby MD with Jarrod.  

In just 6 weeks everyone will finally get to meet this baby they have already showered with love so much... I can not wait to introduce Baby MD to this amazing group of family and friends!
