I was blessed the other night with a shower from our Saudi friends and am so grateful for all the women that are apart of our lives who love us and our kids and were willing to throw us a shower so our baby girl could have all the necessities she needs.
For starters, not one detailed was spared for the shower.... these women did an AMAZING job.. the moment I walked in the door I immediately got giddy and excited; realizing that we're REALLY going to have a girl! The decorations were gorgeous.. they used my color scheme-- purple, black, and lime green (Brooks didn't want pink, which was fine with me). They made signs, and pom poms, and all of it was for me to take home and use to decorate her room... perfect! The diaper cake was filled with lots of goodies, the real cake was GORGEOUS, the food was fabulous, and there was a children's book used as the sign in guest book that we will get to keep for years to come.
We have very few girl items except what we got at Christmas and some clothes I got from my friend Susie so I was excited to open presents filled with pink girly clothes, dresses, glittery shoes, bathing suits, pajama's, burp clothes, blankets, and more. The hostesses got me a new pink diaper bag, something I've wanted but having boys never got!
I feel like I say this all the time, but we're truly grateful and blessed by the amazing friends and community that we have here in Saudi. The baby shower was wonderful and we're even more ready and prepared to meet our baby girl next weekend (if she doesn't come before)!
