First of all a HUGH THANK YOU has to go out to Jenny and Tina for throwing a most wonderful baby shower! I had such a great time and I was glad Nathan was able to be a part of it! I think he enjoyed himself, especially since he won the baby game. I was glad he got to meet some of my friends from college so now he'll be able to put a face to a name when I talk about them. The shower was held at this really nice restaurant where Jake (Jenny's husband) works. It was so beautiful inside that it reminded me of being on a cruise. It was the perfect location I would have to say and the things she and Tina had planned worked out perfectly there. When I arrived (a little later than I would have wanted) the girls were ready to get the evening started. Soon behind my arrival were Erica and Carolina. We all sat down and introduced ourselves and then chit-chatted for a little bit before ordering our dinner. I got a cheeseburger (which so freaking delicious), Nathan got this steak and french fry thing, and mom got mountain trout. Everybody was very pleased with their dinner and it was most delicious! Soon after our food arrived Jasmyn popped in to say hey for a little bit and drop a gift. She wasn't able to stay very long, but I was glad she took the time to pop in and say hello. It had been quite awhile since I had seen her last. Throughout the night we played various games. They were quite fun and entertaining. One of the games lasted the entire party where you weren't allowed to say the word "baby" and if you did, you would have to give you diaper pin to whomever caught you for saying it. Of course I lost mine almost right away, but twice through out the night I got some back. It didn't last long though, b/c I would forget I now had a pin and slip up and say baby and get caught causing me to give up my pin. Nathan was the overall winner of this game, but that's only because he didn't say much at dinner, I think he was afraid of slipping up and losing his pins so he just stayed quite and had everybody else's by the end of the night! :)
One of the other games we played was where you had to write down songs that either had the word baby in the title or in the lyrics somewhere in the song. I was off to a good start, but once I started thinking about it my head couldn't recall any more songs, it was quite the challenge! I think my favorite game was the one we played where we took the letters in "Jayden Taylor Bradley" and had to arrange them and form words. I had 54 by the time the night was over, and I thought this was pretty good, mom and Nathan had more than me, but it was still a fun game to play! :) The most amusing game I think we did was where everybody had to draw a picture of what they thought Jayden was going to look like when he was born. Sounds easy right? Not so much. The catch was, you had to draw the picture with your eyes closed! So that made it even more amusing, some of the babies were like stick figures, other were missing their heads, and one even had 3 eyes! It was too funny to watch everybody do! :) After dinner and finishing up the games, we ate the most delicious cake ever! It was a lemon pound cake with butter cream frosting and it was super cute! It had the letters A B C D around the sides to look like blocks and written on top was Welcome Baby Bradley. It was a beautiful and delicious cake! I almost didn't want to eat it! After cake we took some time to open the gifts and they were great gifts! I loved everything we received and thought it was especially neat that Jen and Tina took the time to build their own diaper cake! It was really well crafted and had the coolest things attached to it! Carolina got us the BIGGEST box of diaper wipes ever! It had over 500 in it! I think that should last us quite awhile, that's for sure! Jasmyn got us lots of green things and even picked out an orange onesie that said "born to be wild" on it! It was really neat and I thought it was great that it was orange since that's Nathan's favorite color. Erica got us some refils for our diaper pail which will be great because, from what I hear, babies need to be changed about 10 times a day! After that we took pictures and said our goodbyes. It was a lovely night and I couldn't have had more fun! I'm so greatful for my friends and I'm glad they are all so supportive of us and our soon to be baby boy! :)
