Last weekend our friends here in Birmingham threw us an awesome couples baby shower.
We had a fun group in attendance of our parents, neighbor friends, and our friends from UAB. From the start of residency, we've had this awesome group, and while it's rare that we all can get together at once with the husband's crazy work schedule (atleast one is on call pretty much any given day), we always have the best time. It's nice to have this family of friends who moved to this new city at the same time with home being far away. Most are from Texas and Oklahoma which is way further away from home than we are. But they have been there to encourage and support us when we struggled to get pregnant. Sometimes hanging out with them on a patio laughing and talking was just what I needed to lift me up.
So these women were so sweet to put together a shower to celebrate our little miracle. You could feel the love in that room for our Hannah. And it really is a blessing to have friends that care for us so much that already love our daughter before she's even here!!
They had the book, The Poky Little Puppy, for all our guests to sign with wishes for Hannah.
Sarah made this beautiful diaper cake! I love the giant pink ribbons, and the ducky is way too cute.
Kendall made these delicious strawberry cupcakes with strawberry icing. She is a pastry chef here in Birmy at Urban Standard, and she always brings the best baked desserts to parties! And I love the little H flags.
We received so many generous gifts from our friends and parents! Thank y'all so much!!
My mom worked so hard to make this gorgeous baby quilt for Hannah. I was so surprised. I had no idea she had been working on it. I need to get a better full picture of it to post, but it is too cute.
Overall it was a beautiful weekend with both sets of Hannah's grandparents visiting. The azaleas were in full bloom. We grilled out and played cornhole on Saturday. I got a pedicure as a gift from my sweet mother in law, and Weston and our dads hung the chandelier to complete Hannah's nursery. It was just a wonderful weekend!
