Baby 3 Pink or Blue Either Will Do!
I can barely contain myself and will probably need to do a separate blog post all about the ultrasound itself. But let's just say it went BEAUTIFULLY! As did the gender reveal photo shoot. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves and may blabber on about the shoot and will include a video at some point, too. We are over the moon with this news;)
How will our family be completed?
This envelope contains the money shot!! Andrea and Erin peeked inside before we started the photo shoot but Nate and I stayed in the dark a bit longer.
A few shots of the adorable siblings...
Which onesie will it be?
Closing our eyes after Andrea and Erin placed the correct onesie in the correct sibling's hands ;)
Me: 'What's your final guess, Nate?'
N: 'Girl.'
Me: 'I think boy.'
And? It's a boy!!!
'You are having a baby brother, guys!' Genuine excitement. So much fun.
Symmetry. Bookends. A squishy baby boy. Sigh.
Happy mama.
Family of five!
Cecelia is almost holding up three fingers here;)
Favorite. CC wouldn't stop hugging Nate at this point. I think she is excited to remain daddy's little (only) girl.
And Truman kept saying, 'We are having a boy! I'm so excited! Baby Brother!'
Once again, Andrea Weiss Photography produced the sweetest images for our little family. Such a happy day. ;)
More details to come.

Something Blue with a Twist Bridal Shower
My younger sister Rebecca's Bridal Shower was on Saturday.
As soon as she got engaged & her chose her wedding colors, I started planning this shower in my head. I hosted the shower at my house & I was in charge of the invites, the cupcakes, all the "details" and the decorations. You know how I love those little details! My older sister, Mom & Aunt made the food. It was a total group effort!
Our bridesmaids dresses are Aqua "Tiffany" Blue & she is going to have pops of orange, lime green, red & yellow for our flowers. Because of that, I knew I wanted to incorporate that into her Bridal Shower. I am loving the color combo of aqua & orange right now, so I decided that the "theme" for the shower would be:
Something Blue {with a Twist}
The twist was the splashes of orange that I added for the shower.
Here are the shower details!
Invites that I made:
{Available in my Etsy shop}
Decorations:
Pom Poms!
I love Pom Poms!
On the tables I had flowers along with blue & orange candy:
Nothing says Spring like Tulips! And, on Saturday it was 77 degrees! In February!
At one of the tables, I had dipped pretzels also:
The plates had the favor cookies on them:

I got 2 types of cookies at a local bakery, wedding dresses & wedding cakes:
I made the favor tags with their initials & wedding date:
I also had a bouquet of flowers that will be similar to what our bridesmaids bouquets will look like. The coloras are going to look so pretty with our aqua dresses!
My sisters & I:
And, one with my mom & her girls!
The Menu:Beverages - We offered mimosas, white white, sparkling water & sparkling lemonade.
The future Mrs. Baker:

Banana Bread & Zucchini Bread:
We had 3 types of Quiche:Spinach & Bacon
Ham & Cheese:
Veggie:
Fruit Salad:
Mixed Greens with mandarin oranges, pecans & avocado:
Funny side note, my mother in law brought a sponge to the shower & gave it to my older sister so that they could use it when cleaning the shower dishes.In case you missed it, I am a sponge-a-phobe.
The tables:
We got to meet my cousin's new baby, Brodie for the first time!
We had about 25 women attend.
The Activities:When I sent out the invitations, I also included a blank recipe card & a note that said to include your favorite recipe in order to build Rebecca's cooking repertoire.
When I got married 8.5 years ago, one of our family friends did this for one of my Wedding Showers & it was so great to have a collection of great recipes. That is where I got my Taco Soup recipe!

She got some really yummy recipes! I am going to borrow some :)The game we played was called 20 Questions.
We came up with 20 Questions about Rebecca & Jason's relationship and future.
We asked Jason the questions the day before the shower.
Then at the shower, we asked each guest to write down how many questions they think Rebecca & Jason will answer the same.
Rebecca was getting a little stressed after she missed a few questions. She needed more wine :)
She answered 14 out of 20 questions the same way Jason answered.Next, it was time for dessert while Rebecca opened presents!
Dessert was 2 types of cupcakes. I made Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough & Funfetti (Rebecca's favorite)
My family room looked like a Crate & Barrel show room after she finished opening all her presents!
The Bride to Be with her ribbon bouquet:
We had so much fun celebrating Rebecca this weekend!Next up is the Bachelorette party in March & then the wedding in April!
And, today just so happens to be Rebecca's 27th Birthday!
Happy Birthday to the Future Mrs. Baker!
