Happy Wednesday guys! Today I wanted to share with you some pictures from my baby shower!! I wanted to have a french themed shower and have it kind of go along with how I’m decorating her nursery! I had it here in Houston at the cutest french crepe place called Sweet Paris! They have the yummiest crepes and you feel like you’re in Paris! My friends Morning and Stacey found the perfect invites from Minted.com that matched that theme and said “Bonjour Bebe!” I wanted my shower to be simple yet pretty, and not a lot of over-the-top decorations you usually see at some baby showers. My friend Claudia did the most gorgeous floral arrangements for the tables, which gave it a feminine and classic feel!

Alex’s parents were able to come out for the weekend and help us celebrate our baby girl!! They are so excited for her arrival in September and she is lucky to have them as Grandparents soon! In addition to my face and hands, my feet are soo swollen that I had to go out and get new sandals for the rest of my pregnancy. I wanted something besides a flip flop to wear with my dress, and the only sandal I found that fit perfectly was from Target! I went from a size 8 to a size 10!!! Let’s just hope it goes back down after the baby is born! ha! The dress I wore is from ASOS and when I saw it online I immediately loved it! I ordered a light pink version of the dress just in case I ended not liking the other one in person, but I thought the floral print stood out more! But I still love the light pink version too and plan on keeping it!

The shower was so much fun and had some great friends come to join in celebrating our baby girl!!! She got the cutest gifts and we’re so blessed to have such generous friends and family! She is already so loved and spoiled!

Since I’m 31 weeks now, I’m starting to feel the crunch of having to get everything done before she arrives! Sometimes it feels like it’s so far away and can’t wait for her to get here, and other times I’m like I need more time to prepare!! I had already signed up for some hospital classes to take with Alex, so we will be spending some weekends in the next month doing those and learning more about our little babe! I have so much I still want to get done before she comes in September and my baby checklist is so long still! It’s hard when I’m on bed rest, yet I’m pretty much the only one that can get this stuff done because my husband works long hours during the week. I try to do mostly everything sitting down during the day, so I’m not on my feet a lot!! I still debating on things I need to get her and this first time mom needs some advice! If you have any recommendations of things I should do to prepare for the baby and baby products you recommend let me know in the comments below!

Thanks for stopping by! XOXO
