Surprise!!!

Last Saturday while my Chris was out of town, Wendy and I made plans to go to a large maternity store and then were headed to The Cheesecake Factory for dinner. Little did I know that it was all a con! Well, not all because we really did go to the maternity store and The Cheesecake Factory except when we arrived at The Cheesecake Factory all "the girls" were there! They decided to throw me a mini shower.

Starting on the left: Me, Kelly, Stacy, Cheri, Karan and Wendy (across from me)

They put my friend Cheri in charge of decorations because she is so crafty. On the table at The Cheesecake Factory was a small fishbowl with rocks on the bottom and a flower along with a yellow rubber ducky floating on top. There was also a chinese to-go box as a favor and inside was little marshmallows with a little yellow rubber ducky on top (he was floating around on "bubbles"). Have you noticed the theme yet? Yellow rubber ducks. It was so cute!

After we ate dinner and ordered our cheesecake to-go, we all headed back to Cheri's house. She outdoes herself every time. Instead of describing it all to you, please enjoy the shower through pictures (it does it much more justice then my rambling anyway).

Isn't this the cutest cake???

Little chocolates - she used the same candy mold but instead froze water for ducky ice cubes.

The little diapers were filled with colored M&Ms.

Wendy gave me a bunch of labor and delivery "essentials" to take to the hospital with us (ie: toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, blog unmentionables). It was a very practical gift - I'm sure I either would have 1) forgotten half the stuff or 2) not known I needed it. Cheri gave me a diaper "cake" and then all the "girls" pitched in and got us our stroller / car seat combination. It was so much fun and, I must say, I am very proud of everyone for not spilling it to me because I was totally surprised!
