She's Having a Baby!

Melanie, Erin, Emily, Kim and I hosted a shower for Rachel today. We had a blast! So much food, so many family and friends, and so many presents! I can't wait for this baby to get here. Audrie is going to be one spoiled little girl.

We started with some finger foods and some desserts.

And what's a baby shower without petit fors (or miniature cakes in USAmericanese) with Audrie's monogram and, of course, polka dots.

And some amazing blue punch made by Erin.

We used a clothesline theme for a lot of the decorations. All of these adorable little outfits were gifts from the hostesses.

We also had some photos of Rachel and Jamie and other family since she's been pregnant. It's neat to see how much her belly has grown in the last few weeks.

And, what's a shower without presents! The photo is a Kim Lowery original.This one's in honor of Jamie.I think one of the best/funniest items Rachel received was a Hooter Hider. Seriously, that's what they're called.

Jamie came over afterward and helped load the enormous amount of gifts into the car. A good hour was devoted to going through the loot and looking at all the great stuff they got. Check out Jamie's shirt!

Look out world! Audrie is making her debut in February.

Lizzy has one of those Hooter Hiders. I'm pretty sure a guy came up with that name. :)

You are right. On the website, the owner said her male friends named them, but when the company tried to re-name them to Bebe Au Lait, the second name, many of the customers protested, saying they loved the name Hooter Hiders!
