How Sweet This Is

A light sprinkle for Baby G-2!

in Celebrations, Pregnancy and Fertility on 11/14/12

This past weekend my mom threw me a sprinkle for Baby G2. At first I was hesitant about a shower for a 2nd baby, especially since #2 is the same sex as #1, but many family members asked about it and wanted to buy us something so my mom asked if she could throw something small, thus- the sprinkle!
The invitation was really cute- it said:
Little girls we all love and adore,
Hubby and Stephanie are having one more.
Big sister E has plenty to share,
this is just a sprinkle to show that we care.
Let’s sprinkle her with love
and diapers & wipes,
so she’ll be prepared,
for all those long nights!
My mom, as always, outdid herself. Her home was immaculate, she brought out the fine china and ordered a cake from my favorite cake shop in town! It was beautifully done and I loved it!

I was SHOCKED at how many gifts there were, I honestly was thinking there wouldn’t be many. I am so thankful- I can’t believe how blessed we were!

I didn’t want too many traditional shower activities, and I didn’t want my mom to have the expense of serving a full lunch. So we decided on cake, coffee and punch and one fun game. Most of the women at the shower have been to a million showers and can probably answer any questionnaire about babies, so I decided to mix it up a bit and create a game about names. I wrote everyone’s name down that was at the shower and then looked up the meaning of their name and wrote it on the right. They had 5 minutes to match the names to the meanings- the winner got 9 correct!

On to the gifts- we got a ton of diapers and wipes! I know from E that we will use all of them! We also received a few other special gifts and outfits.

My mom crocheted baby a quilt! I can’t wait to drape it across our glider and use it to rock her with on those cold nights.

It was a great day celebrating with our families and close friends. I am so glad I caved and let my mom do this, it was really special!
