Surprise Baby Shower!

I am truly blessed with some of the best friends and sister that anyone could ask for (that includes both MD & NJ!!) This past weekend I went down to visit my sister in MD with nothing planned for the day other than brunch with Julie, Mandy & J. A month ago Jul gave us a specific day to come and visit and I might have been a bit suspicious then I was thrown off from that point on!

We went out to breakfast at Baltimore's only diner (which I LOVE) and had to leave by 12:30 because Mandy had to get back to NJ to be a date for a friend's wedding later that night. She wanted me to come inside so I could see the dress for her wedding this upcoming weekend. Seeing as she always has a wedding I did not question it and went inside!

Doors open....SURPRISE!!

All of my college friends were standing there. Everything was perfect -- there was great food (even homemade Thanksgiving stuffing, complements of Brenna) and a beautiful cake that Lindsey had made!! Baby J got so many beautiful and useful things that he will need and what baby doesn't need a par of "creepers."

I do not think that all of us have been together in years, so that was better than any present or lion cake!

The beautiful cake that Lindsey handmade for BabyJ (Brenna told Lindsey the theme and that it must have an animal playing sports and Lindsey sure did listen!)

After the baby shower J is showing off the Jets onesies that Liz got for Baby J. Father/son Jets football days will be here before you know it!!

This has been a busy baby week for us. The babies room will be done TOMORROW (Friday), just in time this weekend. We have had some minor paint issues because the top half of the room is supposed to be a light sand/cream color. Let me tell you, if you have ever tried to pick out a light or neutral color for a room it is harder than you think. Most neutrals/light colors have a hint or green/yellow/pink in them!! Long story short, three time's a charm!! Our third gallon of paint is the one that went onto the wall and it looks beautiful!!

My mom and Mrs. Spence are throwing a NJ baby shower for friends and family who will all be interested in seeing the babies room!! And for those that can't see it yet, I will be posting pictures on Monday for you all to see.

We have an U/S this afternoon at 2pm, which I will be demanding new pictures so expect another post sometime this afternoon. Can't wait to see him on the big screen :)

Love,
Dada & Mama J
