Below is the special matching blanket my grandma made nearly 29 years ago. I had this blanket as a child (the picture is of me on it) and apparently my grandma had made two of them. My aunt was going through my grandma's things a while back and found this, saving it for our little one. The blessing is that my grandma passed away just a few weeks ago so it was extra special to receive this now.
Here are many of the people at the shower. A few escaped before we could get the picture!

The decor
My lovely friends Amy and Diane threw me a baby shower in California. It was so fun to celebrate with long-time friends and family. I still cannot believe that there is a real life inside of me and it was so fun to receive clothes and little things to remind me of that fact. It is so wonderful to be pregnant and have so many people that you love rally around you. I was also very blessed to receive many gift cards that I will use to purchase things that I will need from my registry or in the future. I was so overwhelmed when registering and with all that had to do with baby that it felt nice to receive gift cards so I know that I can hold on to them and see what I will really need. I am trying to keep everything simple and not obtain too much STUFF! Thank you all so much for blessing me and my little one. Much love to you!
