Babies, Bullies & Brunch

This morning I went to a baby shower brunch for our co-worker Tammy which was hosted by my dear friend Samantha - momma of the baby bullies. Tammy is due the beginning of March & is having a little girl which they are going to name Samantha! Our hostess Sam loves to believe Tammy is naming the baby after her but no matter how many times she tells her that is not the case she just doesn't believe it ;)

Sam had a lovely breakfast spread of muffins, bagels, banana bread, egg bake, hash-brown casserole, & a fruit tray with yummy Mimosa's & coffee to drink. It was all so good - especially the Mimosa's :)

We gathered around & watched Tammy open all her gifts & it was so fun "oohing & aahing" over all the cute little outfits & baby stuff she received. A bunch of us all went in and bought her the car seat she had wanted & I also made her a cute diaper caddy (seen below in the brown/pink basket) full of diapers, wipes, powder, Desitin, & hand sanitizer. She loved it!

Next we played a couple of games. The classic "guess the size of Mama's belly" using ribbon & "guess the number of jelly beans & M&M's in the baby bottles". Needless to say, I didn't even come close to having the right length of ribbon OR the correct count of candy so no prize for HT :(

The best part of any shower - in my opinion - is the cake! It was chocolate with a buttercream icing & it definitely did NOT disappoint! Sam even let me take home a couple of pieces for myself Shane since there was SO much left over! SWEET!

I was so excited to see one of my dearest friends - Camille & her 4 mos old baby girl Reyna. Camille & I work together & after she had Reyna she went PRN & only works one day a week. Since I work at 3 different hospitals, we never end up seeing each other :( It was great to get to see them both & catch up!
I also got to see the bully babies - Maggie & Miles - & spent much time giving them smooches & hugs. Sam refers to me as their "Auntie Heather" & you could SO tell that they missed me - they would hardly leave my side ;)

It ended up being a really nice shower spent with wonderful friends & we all can't wait to get to meet Miss Samantha once she makes her appearance!
