Last weekend I had my first baby shower. These pictures are really not in any certain kind of order. I just picked a couple and put them up. The shower was put on my my mother-in-law (Nina), and my two sister-in-laws. Nina went crazy for this shower and I was so blessed. I did not take great pictures of all the details so I am really bummed. I am kind of hoping to get some pictures from other people's cameras. One of the funny parts of the shower was that since we are not telling anyone her name Nina came up with the name NinaGene. It is a combination of the grandma's names. So everyone called her NinaGene that day and I am still calling her that now.

The amazing quilt Nina made for our little girl. Once again not a great pic but at least you can see some of it. Those are the colors we are doing in her room.
Honestly no joke I think I opened gifts for over an hour. The shower was at our family restaurant and there were over 40 women there. It was really fun but also exhausting because you want to enjoy opening the gifts but you also want to honor the people who gave them to you.
This is a pic of the diaper cake Nina made for me. It is incredibly cute and decorated with all kinds of fun baby stuff. Yes you should be jealous! She put so much time into this. She also got these amazing organic cup cakes (which I did try) and organic cookies that looked like ginger bread men except they were decorated like little girls. We had a very tasty lunch and a great time just being together. People we so generous with their gifts. One of the other great things was that they asked that each person give me a book instead of a card. So I have a huge start on my library for NinaGene. The tables were decorated with glass baby bottles holding flowers, we had napkins that looked like baby dresses and more. I am blessed!
