piper, piper, bo biper...



On Saturday, I was honored to attend the baby shower of my friend Beth Morgan. She is due in October and is having a little girl. They have named her Piper! Beth has chosen an owl theme for Piper's nursery and so the same theme was used for the shower! Beth's friends did a great job on the shower. They made little fans, for the outdoor shower, that looked like owls and both the cake and cupcakes served had tiny owls covering them. The tables were decorated with floral runners and flower arrangements set in mason jars. They tied the mason jars into the cake table by putting single servings of ice cream into miniature mason jars for each guest to enjoy! They were very cute! Beth and her mom sat at a head table where they opened gifts together and each guest was asked to fill out a page that asked questions like "When will Piper arrive?" "How much will Piper weigh?" and also had spaces for you to write a special message to baby Piper and give a piece of advice to mommy and daddy. Beth's shower was simply beautiful. I truly believe that no woman in this world deserves a more beautiful motherhood experience then my dear friend Beth. She and her husband have been trying to have a baby for years and have struggled beyond anything I could imagine. Finally this year Beth announced she was expecting and I am so beyond happy for her! I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else in the world on Saturday then sitting in the park with Beth and her other friends and family watching her open the cutest baby girl clothes and also the baby basics like diapers and bottles! You could see the joy on her face. When the shower was over and my sister and I approached Beth to give her a hug goodbye and wish her a wonderful last month of pregnancy she simply said with the biggest smile on her face "I don't want to leave!" She was practically giddy! Now, we wait...and I simply CAN'T WAIT to meet little baby Piper!! She's truly the luckiest baby girl in the world to have Beth as her new mommy!!

Erika! You just brought tears to my eyes! After everything we have been through it is still so hard to believe we are here today. I wouldn't have made it through these past few years alive without friends like you! ;)
