Showers for Carly

and lots of baby wash! i had a few showers this past weekend. the first was from my small group and a couple of friends. the theme became baby wash. i racked up 11 bottles of it, i guess you need the soap for the shower.... so, i got some one of a kind baby clothes. marta (hostess) got some plain onesies, bibs, burp clothes, etc and iron-ons, and my firends made carly some stuff that morning. we had a great time and carly got a lot of great stuff. we had the shower around our montly brunch, and even though there is no picture of the food, you can believe that we threw down!

here's the clothes line of stuff to be ironed-on to. you can see the beginnigs of the church of crass line of baby clothesand we measured my belly... as of saturday morning, i was 11 toilet paper squares around!my diaper cake - if you aren't familiar... it's actually rolled up diapers - totally cute and practical. i just unroll the diapers and can use them.

so, this one says "little sister" and there's a little girl with orange pig tails - cute huh? cause carly could very well have the same look going on.so, i said there were no food pics, well the sausage balls came in a little late, so i held them for the group - they were a great after brunch snack. you can see more pics of the shower on marta's blog.

and then the next day, another shower, and only 4 more bottles of baby wash!

Here's my stroller... almost. i thought it was, but nathan got it put together and then we realized that the front wheel is stationary - not what i need. so, it's on its way back to ny, and i'll have one in a couple weeks with a moving front wheel.

here's another little red-headed sister onesie, i guess i wasn't the only one who thought that may look like carlyand this was for fav aunt karen whose comments leading up to the shower compelled this picture. but really, what you see in my lap here are some stinkin cute little girl clothes this is my mom, who toted me and my gifts around this weekend, thanks nana!

thank you to all our friends and family who contributed to the piles of baby stuff now stacked in carly's room. we are truly blessed to have such loving and generous people in our lives.
