On Friday, Sept. 17 I had my first baby shower which consisted of mostly my co-workers, friends, and some family. It was at Copper Heron Cafe in Tavares. I only have a few photos so if anyone has some, please email me!

We all wore silly name tags and went around introducing ourselves. We ate some yummy food.

Blake and I opened gifts and judged the “Most Creative Recycled Wrapping” contest. Thank you to everyone for your generosity! {Fyi, registries have been updated.} The baby now has so much clothes (too much)! For the wrapping contest, folks re-used gift bags, or used no wrapping, or got super creative and made huge sunflowers out of plastic water bottles or used and re-sewed a dog food bag or intricately wrapped each gift with a theme using recycled materials.

Obviously it was an eco-friendly shower, with minimal decorations and homegrown sunflower plants as party favors. Everyone was so kind and put up with my green OCD.
