Just The Two Of Us: Wheeler Baby Shower!

First of all, it's September!!! That means Baby Girl Wheeler will be here in about 1 month! It's crazy how fast my pregnancy is going by.

On the 2nd of September, we decided to make that day my baby shower. I had no idea what my friends were planning so everything was a surprise. I gave them ideas on my pinterest account, but other than that, I had no clue. I come by and see that everything was neatly decorated with gold stars, pink and gold pom poms, and a pink table with gold dots and goodies. :) We added baby/couple pictures of Collin and I framed around the house. It was so beautiful and perfectly fitted for a baby girl.

Of course, we also had some photo opportunities. There was a pink background put up where we can have a photo booth. Kudos to Amazon for having such amazing photo props! (Not to mention they are cheap.) We used both a digital and Polaroid camera to make the photo booth extra special. A big thank you to my friend/host Hailey who let us use her Polaroid camera. I want one someday!

We played a few fun, creative games during my shower. My friend McKenna is brilliant at putting games together. :) Since there were people there from different wards, we played a get-to-know-you game. This helped us become better acquainted with one another. We basically found things that we had in common with someone else. Things like favorite color and TV show, life accomplishments, etc. We had these cute magic wands to find each other.

In between games, we would take snack breaks and photos at the photo booth. The second game we played was a Disney princess quote quiz. I am a Disney fanatic so I was excited to take this quiz. You had to match the quote to the Disney princess who said it. I ended up getting 100%! I thought it was a clever idea to put together for a baby girl shower.

Later, it was time to open presents. I ended up getting such nice gifts. Most of them included diapers which is what we needed. We even had some gifts delivered to us from long distance family members. They couldn't make it to the shower, but it was so sweet of them to buy gifts for our sweet little baby.

There was overall a great turnout of people that could make it. I am so thankful for my sweet friends who put together my baby shower. It's times like these that I am grateful to be near such amazing friends when we live so far away from family. Everything turned out so great and my baby and I felt so loved. Now it's time to get everything ready. Baby Girl will be here in just 7 weeks!
