I dont know what they heck has kept me from
posting this for so long....
I think I somewhat mentally checked-out after the
shower finally happened.
But...All in all I'd say it was a success!!!
Alicia came over at about noon the day of and
we spent about 3 hours getting everything
set-up and ready.
Rachael came over a bit early around 2:30 to get
first glimpses of all the preparations...and
I think she was pleased with how things turned out!
The rest of this post is going to turn into somewhat
of a picture dump....so, enjoy!!
The Wall-O-Belly Pics
Tissue poms and cute girly dresses
These pictures turned out so dark :(
But here was the food table as we started getting
things set up and arranged.
Wish Tree!!
I made little birds that people could either
write a wish they had for Rachael & baby or
guess the birthdate/weight.
People seemed to prefer guessing the
weight and birthdate!
Rachael is not a big fan of cake...so it only seemed
right that we have an ice cream sundae bar at her shower!!
The guest of honor in front of her food table!
I used mason jars and paper straws for beverages
Guests starting to arrive
Last fall when we went to the Plaza Art Fair Rachael &
I saw this booth of paintings that we really liked. I made a
mental note of the Studio's name and ordered a print a few
months later. This is my replication of the print that I ordered.
It has a lot of the colors that Rachael & Matt are using in their
nursery and I hope it's something that Baby Girl can have in
her room for a long time!!
Present time!!
Rachael was excited to get lots of
practical gifts from her nursing friends...
Yay for breast pads and nipple cream!!
She had lots of little helpers carrying away
tissue papers and ribbons...
Ashley and Rachael
Becca & Megan.
Becca is expecting her first just a few
weeks after Rachael!

Guests crafting headbands for Baby Girl Clark
Last but not least, your hostesses...

Phew!!
Who knew throwing a baby shower could
be so stressful?! I'm sure it has much less to do
with the actual party and a lot MORE to do with my
neurotic personality!!
Now all thats left to do is wait for Baby Clark
to make her highly anticipated appearance!!
