First off I have to thank my awesome cousin who lives in NYC and planned this whole event from there! Here are just a few reason's why I think my shower rocked:
1) She served alcohol!! Hell yes!! I personally hate going to baby shower's where you have to sit there and be SOBER when everyone is ewwing and ahhing. Just because mommy can't drink doesn't mean the rest of the party can't. Huge check on the pro's side for that one!
2)It was catered!! Are you kidding??? I had no idea that I would walk in to a house that had a head chef in the kitchen, white hat and all, and an assistant chef in all black taking everyone's orders and filling up drinks. How incredible. My champagne flute of OJ never went dry.
3) There were only 2 games, and they were sit-down games. No running around for a scavenger hunt, no trying to diaper your doll as fast as you can. There was a nice and easy word scramble and nursery rhyme questionnaire. Prizes were given.
4) Lastly there was this cupcake cake. How perfect! A blue bottle formed out of little cupcakes.
Here are pics as promised of the finalized nursery. We have such wonderful people in our life that gave such generous gifts. Thanks to everyone for help making the nursery come together!
This is the cutest little rocking chair given to B by his Aunt and Uncle!
Finally the closet...We are SO blessed to have family members and friends give us their sons hand-me-downs. We are just so lucky that everyone in our life seems to have had boys!! Our closet is full and our dresser is full with newborn all the way to 12 month clothes. It's almost ridiculous how blessed we feel to have so many supplies. When we found out we were pregnant was the same week that my position at work had been eliminated. We had wanted this baby for so long, and then all of a sudden we felt so insecure about the fact we were pregnant. We've had so many people step up and help us out that I just don't know where we'd be without them.
I wasn't kidding. Every drawer is full. So thankful!

Everything looks great and I HATE baby showers too. I want mine to be a drop off where people just hand over the presents and go!!! :) (just kidding, sort of)

What an adorable nursery...so simple yet elegant.
You did an amazing job on the baby room! I love it all - and the baby shower sounded wonderful. I am with you on that just because the mom can't drink, the guests shouldnt- they should have fun!

Glad your shower was a success and you enjoyed yourself! Love the cupcake cake! My MIL is doing my cake and she didn't want to do the cupcake thing even though I think it's precious! And I love your nursery! Everything is so cute and that's awesome that you have SO many clothes for B! Looks like you guys are all set! I can't wait until after my shower in a couple of weeks so I can feel more prepared too.
It looks great!
Awesome! Looks as if everything is coming together quite nicely!! I bet you both are SO ready for his arrival. Oh, the anticipation of finally being able to hold him and rock him.
