First Shower and a Surprise!

Saturday was a fantastic day in the Ward household. First off I had my first baby shower. It was thrown by two of my closest friends who I have known since college, Kaelin and Ashley. Ashley actually gave us the nickname for this baby "Baby Bird" (I went by the nickname Bird in college) and that was the theme for the shower.


There was a craft for all the guests to participate in. The hosts had provided wooden bird houses and decorations that matched the color scheme of my nursery for all the guests to decorate.








Here is how the adorable birdhouses turned out, so cute. Now I need to figure out where in the nursery they are going to go.




My Mom made made an adorable knit hat. I was pretty surprised since I didn't know she could knit. Apparently this was her first attempt since she was 11 and my Grandmother had taught her how. I was pretty impressed with the result!



Mom also got me a Giraffe Rocker that I had seen a few months back. While it was a hit with the younger crew there, the box that it came in was an even bigger hit as you can see below.










Both Grandmothers to be were here. Tina is going to be called Mimi and my mom is going to be called Madre.








This picture is of all the college friends that were able to attend. A few were missing because of work or sick kiddos. I feel so lucky to have such a great group of ladies that I was able to meet and stay in contact with over the years. Their love and support has meant so much.

So when I come home from the shower and start to unload everything into the nursery, I am surprised by this ...


The crib! Sorry the picture quality is so poor, it was taken on my iphone. I knew Jasper had picked it up on Friday but he told me that he and his brother would not be able to put it together for a week or so. I was really disappointed that we couldn't get it together right away but had said that was fine. He just wanted to surprise me by putting it together with his brother during my shower. It was so sweet and I might have shed a tear or two. Now we just need to put up the decal that goes behind the crib and mobile this week! I will post pictures soon!
