I received my stroller and baby carrier travel system plus car seat bases for the car, baby slings, baby Bjorn carrier, bath time sets, receiving blankets, wash clothes, teethers, bath towels with hoodies (giraffe and dog- soooo cute), all of the mommy breast pump and necessities, a tummy time mat, bouncer, stuffed animals, pacifiers, baby proofing kits, diapers, diapers and more diapers, clothes galore (so cute- my favorite is a onesie my sister Kim bought that says Daddy says I can't date till I'm 25!), play pen, and a ton of other odds and ends that are a necessity. I am so blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life to share with Daniel and I this special time and to prepare us for the most important journey of our lives together....parenthood!
Oh and the cake....you are going to die! My friend Lindsay made it and it was 3 tiers painted blue at the top of each tier and green at the bottom of each tier. It had palm trees with coconuts on it and then she hand painted shortbread cookies in the shapes of zebras, tigers, elephants and monkeys and placed them all around the 3 tiers. Just stunning. So much love and time and energy put into something you are going eat! And boy was it good. The top tier was white cake with strawberry butter cream filling. The 2nd tier was strawberry cake with vanilla bean butter cream filling. The 3rd tier was butter cake with chocolate ganash. Are you drooling yet??? LOL I had a moment of weakness and had a piece of each. Ha, Ha.
And oh my gosh you won't believe it! I don't know how she did it but my mother in law hand made me 2 caps and 2 sleeping sacks for Sophia and another friend Ivy made Sophia's first baby blanket. And I have been in and out of my mother in laws house numerous times in the past few weeks and she was able to hide of the the machines and sewing stuff from me. Woo. So cool. Sophia's gonna love them.
