During the past four months or so I have been having intense baby cravings. It makes no sense. My babies are 15 and 20 years old. Do I seriously want to go through all of that again? Maybe it was the fact that I turned 40 in September? Maybe my hormones are doing a loopty-loo?
Well it turns out it's all good, because my baby sister is expecting a baby!
She will satisfy my cravings with a darling bundle of yummy baby boy.
All of the love and fun - none of the work. Boo-ya!
I call her my baby sister because I am 40 and she is 26. This is her first little one. I am so excited for her. Being her only sister I naturally staked claim to throwing the Baby Shower. Can I just say I'm getting a little obsessive over this? I am having all the pre-baby fun without the morning sickness, aching back, and weight gain. I am coming up with fabulous baby names, dishing out baby advice like any annoying big sister should, and planning a fabulous Baby Shower.
Here is the Bedding Set that she has chosen for her little boy in the colors of green, brown, and orange. With monkeys!
How fun is that??
I am having too good of a time coming up with ideas for the Baby Shower including games, food, and decorations. I played around a little with a Baby Shower mood board.
What do you think?
So dear readers, any ideas for me? Must-have decorations, fun games, or delicious food ideas?
It's been quite some time since I have been to a Baby Shower. I would love to have your suggestions.
Lay it on me.
Oooh, fun, Stephanie! I planned my sister's baby shower 5 years ago. I found some places online for decorations and favors. I used Oriental Trading for a few things because the price on quantity was good. I got pencils {which were used in Baby Shower Bingo} from another online place, with her name "So-So's Baby Shower" and the date ~ in mint green because we didn't know the sex at the time.
ReplyDeletePersonalized M&M's {part of the favor}. There are a lot of websites where you can get game ideas from, too.
I'll be planning my daughter's next! She's due over the Summer!

Oh, I think you will be much happier to solve that craving as an aunt. You know my kids are in their 20's and now that my son has a 1 and a 3, I get my doses of overnight baby care...it is exhausting and I don't know how I did it! It is so much fun to borrow them and send them home!

Steve told me a bit ago eeeee :] so cute! I'm happy for her and that baby set is so cute. Congrats to her!
ReplyDeleteToo funny, I am planning my "baby sister's" baby shower based on the same bedding set and I found your blog googling for monkey cake ideas!
