I’m completely aware of the fact that I’m no longer pregnant. However, if Miss Felicity had only waited until her actual due date, I would still be pregnant…and I’d still be giving my weekly bump reports, sharing photos of the nursery, etc. Considering that I still haven’t documented my final baby shower or shared photos of Felicity’s nursery, I’m going to take a look back for the next few weeks. No worries – I’ll still share new photos of Felicity in between.

With that in mind…my final baby shower took place in my hometown on June 24, 2012 at my grandmother’s home (yes, the one who recently passed away – it would have been there anyways, so why change it). My Aunt Laurie and my mom put on quite a show, complete with gorgeous flower arrangements, a baby carriage inspired cake, food and gifts.
Before all the guests arrived, I was sure to take a few photos before handing my camera off to my Aunt Marian. It’s hard to believe that just three weeks ago, I had this big ‘ol baby bump. My mom said I was waddling quite a bit that day. Even though I still look like I’m carrying high, apparently Felicity was already working her way into GO MODE. Furthermore, it’s a good thing we had this shower when we did…I nearly missed it!
In addition to a number of gorgeous outfits (my mom owns a children’s boutique so many of our guests bought cute outfits that I picked out from my mom’s shop), one of our guests brought this super cute diaper motorcycle. Creative right? Even more impressive was that her husband put it all together.
Finally, a glimpse into Felicity’s wardrobe. As I was receiving gifts, my sister was writing down who gave what…and my mom/aunt were toting the gifts off to the den so everyone could view the gifts as a whole at the end of the party. If only this little girl was big enough to wear all these clothes! She will seriously be the best dressed baby in town.
Alright, that’s all for now (mom – we can relive the day in it’s entirety when you visit this weekend). I’ll be back tomorrow with Scavenger Hunt Sunday! See ya then.

Looks like you’ve had some wonderful showers!! She is just such a beautiful baby, and will most definitely be very well dressed! I loved the baby bump reports, but I’m loving the baby pictures even more

Wow. You are beyond blessed, and Miss Felicity will be the best dressed little one in town!
Wow no wonder Felicity wanted to arrive early! I couldn’t wait either if I knew such a wardrobe existed! Looks like you had a great day!

So excited for you!
The cake is gorgeous! And that diaper motorcycle is awesome! So glad you made it to your last shower. I almost missed mine also. Shower on Saturday and Keira was born early Monday morning.
So glad that you are back for SHS this week! I can’t wait to see more photos
WOW! That is a lot of clothes. I love your pink dress!
I think she knew you were pretty much ready for her after this party & was eager to get out & see all her new stuff.
We are a family of boys…how fun to see the more feminine side of babies…And she is just beautiful by the way!
What a beautiful,elegant baby shower!!! You are so lucky your mom owns a Children’s Boutique! And big ol belly—that you don’t have, at all!!! But carry high~ABSOLUTELY! I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a belly that high before!
Wow that is a lot of outfits!! How precious. I’m sure you’ll love dressing her up. And btw your belly bump was super cute. It was like perfectly round.
I see smocking, bishop dresses, and some monogramming in that pile! A southern girl after my own heart. =) The motorcycle is TOO cute!
