Surprise Baby Shower!!

A few weeks ago, my friend Zuzana planned a "Girls Afternoon" at her house for a small group of us to hang out and catch up......or at least that is what I thought! When I arrived I instantly noticed the beautiful blue flowers on her front steps as well as some other friends, including my best friend Rachel, sitting on the back patio. What was going on here?! This wasn't the plan! Well, they got me. Our 'small gathering' was much more than that....it was a surprise baby shower filled with many friends! They did such a great job at keeping this is a secret, and although I had a few suspicions at times, I had no idea that this kind of party would be awaiting me. Surprised, thankful, loved, and happy are just some of the feelings I felt that wonderful afternoon. It was definitely a day I will never forget :-)

I couldn't stop smiling as I walked out back and saw everyone that was there :-)

Zuzana did such an amazing job decorating!! From the food table, gorgeous flowers, delicious cake, and baby decorations, it was nothing short of perfection :-)

The cake and cupcakes were simply amazing. Zuzana also gave me the sweet Elephant ornament on top to take home for baby's first Christmas :-)

Gathering around the table for good conversation and FOOD!

So thankful for all these wonderful ladies!

Then it was time for presents! Lucky baby!


Yes, those are plastic cups I am holding up! Laura stocked us up with plastic ware and a Cottage Inn gift card so we can have a night off of cooking and dishes once Baby Bingham makes his arrival :-) Such a great gift!

Showing off another cute outfit :-)

Laura also gave me some of Owen's old newborn clothes, and here I am holding up the outfit I bought for her before he was born. I love that our baby will get to wear it too :-)

Words cannot express just how thankful I am for all of my wonderful friends that came together to celebrate our baby boy. We have waited so long for this next chapter in our lives, and my heart couldn't be more full.  I appreciate each and every one of you and thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your support! Now the real excitement begins.....any guesses on when Baby Bingham will arrive?
