Baby Shower at the Hospital

Friday night I got to have a baby shower here at Vanderbilt Hospital! My dear friend Anna has been planning a baby shower for some time now....I'm pretty sure she started long before I was even pregnant:) But, my pregnancy has been uncooperative to say the least. Initially it was planned for May and was going to be a double shower with my friend JJ who is having twins. But, knowing the likelihood of me delivering early....we decided to move it up. It was going to now be a solo shower and be at my house since I was on bedrest. Unfortunately the week before it was scheduled was when I was admitted to the hospital. I think that was actually my first thought when I found out I had to go to the hospital...."But what about my baby shower?" Chad asked the doctor right then if she thought we could have it here. She checked and they agreed to let us used a conference room and wheel me there in a wheelchair.

The food was wonderful! The theme was dips....pizza dip, jalepeno popper dip, layered taco dip, spinach dip, fruit dip. My friends Anna, JJ and Wendi all pitched in on the making of the food. It was all so delicious. Anna had made the cutest cupcakes with little nests on the top.....the inspiration was my blog name "Our Happy Nest". And she made little cakes on a stick that turned out adorable and were as yummy as they were cute.

For decor, Anna made a 3 tier diaper cake. I loved it! She definitely needs to go in business making them!

It was so great to see everyone....it was mostly girls that I work with or have worked with in the past. It's been so long since I've seen a lot of them. I got a ton of wonderful gifts....cute clothes, my baby bouncer, baby monitor, gift cards, bibs, shoes, baby necessities and more.

It was so nice to get out of my room for a few hours and kind of forget that I'm stuck here in the hospital. It was a really fun night. I'm thankful for my wonderful friends!
