It's Raining Pink

This Saturday, two other mutual friends and I did a baby shower for our awesome Noelle. She is so talented and kind, not to mention crazy fun to be around. I'm so excited that she's having her first baby (even if it IS a girl, and even if she had the GALL to move away, and even if she doesn't look a BIT pregnant!)

Here's the blanket I made for her. Selfish picture!

Our buffet brunch, including yogurt parfaits! Note: apple juice in punch fountain looks just like pee. The accompanying trickling noise does not help any.

Later I got to hang out with Noelle for a few hours while she waited for her hubby to come pick her up. We chatted all things baby. She literally took notes on how to get a baby to sleep through the night. Then I was going to show her how to swaddle.... and realized that my house of boys does not contain any good dolls for demonstration! So instead we swaddled our little stuffed Incredible Hulk! He was sort-of the right size and shape. Sort-of.

HILARIOUS.

Baby Hulkee was so cute with his arms all tucked in there and teeth gritted. Rrrrrrr!

Having parfaits was such a good idea!

Noelle is awesome. I didn't expect her to be a giant pregnant person, but seriously, she doesn't look pregnant!

Love the cute clothesline of baby stuff in the background--I'll copy that for the next shower I do. The chairs and furniture look awesome too.

Now, how many more things do you have to do this month, crazy woman?! Keep going!

I don't think I knew she was pregnant, so when I saw what this post was about, I leaned in close to the computer to evaluate her picture and thought "Is she pregnant??" You totally cannot tell. Oh well, I still like her anyway. ;) Your blanket looks adorable, the pee punch is hilarious, and baby hulk all swaddled up is ingenious. LOL. Great post!

Nice!
I sure wish you had showed me how to swaddle a baby with your hulk doll!! That's funny!
Looks like a cute shower, and you're right, from the pictures she doesn't look at all pregnant!! What's wrong with her?! It's not fair!
