Office Baby Shower

I have been the receptionist for Dr. Myers for almost 2 1/2 years. It's crazy how fast time flies. I absolutely love my job. I especially love the girls I work with, it makes working more fun :)

One of my co-workers, Kailyn, is pregnant and is due in January. Kellie and I decided to throw her a baby shower. I did the invites and decorations, and Kellie made the food and hosted it at her home. It was so fun to be together outside of work and see each other in normal clothes (we are always in scrubs). I am so excited for Kailyn, she is going to be the cutest mom!

Kellie made a diaper cake. It had 150 diapers, such a cute idea!

These pom-poms are super easy to make. Take as many tissue papers as you would like, (the more there are, the bigger it will be), and fold them into a fan, like back in elementary school. Once it is all folded, tie a string around the middle of the tissue paper. Un-fold each tissue paper one at a time, until all the tissue paper is apart. And that's all there is to it, it's so easy!

Making invitations is so easy with my cameo! It is seriously one of the best presents I have ever gotten from Chad. It can cut paper, fabric and vinyl and can cut out any design you can think of. It's like a Cricket, but better because you can download fonts off the internet (my favorite is Pinterest) and you don't have to buy cartridges like a Cricket! It is such a versatile machine and can be used for so many different projects. ( I used it to cut out my banner and letters on the gift bags below).

Pregnancy Prank

On Sunday, Chad's siblings came over for his moms birthday. Our brother-in-law, Shane, gave us the ultrasound of the female dog (Hood Star) that is pregnant with Bruno's puppies... he is going to be a dad! Even better news... we get to keep the number one female out of the litter. We couldn't be more excited! 

Once I saw the ultrasound, I got a brilliant idea... I was going to trick the social media world that I was pregnant with twins. Chad's siblings got in on the trick and came up with the perfect post. Seconds after posting the picture, my friends were already "liking" and commenting on the picture. I definitely fooled everyone! 

"It's official, there's at least 2!! Bruno's not going to be the only baby in our house anymore!"

A couple hours later, I felt bad for tricking everyone, especially because I kept getting texts and calls from friends and family. I had to break the news... those are Bruno's babies, not mine. 

"Turns out we had a little confusion... It's an ultrasound of Bruno's future puppies! "

Getting a puppy was seriously one of the best decisions we ever made. It may sound silly, but Bruno brings so much joy into our family, he is like our child (and he acts like it too). He is the most spoiled dog I have ever met, he loves to cuddle and be held. He always makes his way in between Chad and I when we watch a movie. We are soo excited to add a another puppy to our little family! November 23 can't come quick enough!!

Amy's Baby Shower

Amy is having a baby boy that's due on April 27, 2013! My family is so excited for the new addition to our family. With many ideas from pinterest, Me, Stephanie, Christine and my mom threw together a baby shower for her. Many friends and family came. We ate yummy food, played intense games, and watched Amy open many adorable gifts. It was fun to be with the family and to celebrate baby Wynne :)
