I have been SO incredibly lucky to feel love from all over recently. Baby Hatch is coming soon and we are preparing for this little one every free chance we get; I have gone into full fledged nesting mode over here. I love that our family and friends have been feeling the excitement too! I want to document these memories, so that I have them to look back on and can share them with our little Hatch-you are loved baby, that is for sure. We have been showered by the masses, and I am thrilled to be able to share the celebrations from our showers!
-First Shower-
I came back to Los Angeles to visit friends and family in April and while I was there we were showered by a great group of hostesses. We celebrated with a beautiful brunch at Ysabel. The best part about the shower was getting to be with the people that matter the most, and spending time with all of them in the same place.
Mom & Me
My Savitch Ladies, I love my grandma at 91!
FOUR generations right here:
How lucky am I to have married into such an amazing family-my mother-in-law and sister-in-law drove from Arizona to be here for this special day!
We may not all look alike, but we are sisters!
My mom, and my second mom: Shellro.
It was so fun to celebrate with friends who have been in my life I was a baby, so special!
This is one of my first friends, curly Carly; she helped the ladies with the shower, she is amazing!
And my closest friends from high school, whom I am so grateful to have kept in contact with for over 10 years...We have known each other for about 16 years-crazy!
Sister love came in from New York
The tables were decorated with such thought: gardening and the very hungry caterpillar.
Did I mention the food was amazing too?!? We had delicious pastries and enjoyed Spicy Fried Rice, Smoked Salmon Flat Bread and Moroccan Pepper Stew among many other things!
We got so many great gifts. Lots was pre-mailed to us from our registry since it was going back to Germany, and it was so fun to see all the other surprises we got. Shopping for babies is so fun and cute!
I put together little "thank yous" for all the hostesses. I am so grateful for all their hard work they put into the day.
The L.A. baby shower was undoubtably amazing. I felt so special and it got me excited for baby (although at this point you can see the bump, but can't feel it!)
-Second Shower-
I have never had a party planned here in Germany where I didn't help contribute. I have always been a planner, doer, helper, but with this one my friend Bethany kept me completely in the dark-all I had to do was show up and pick my jaw up off the floor after I took in all the sweet details of the day.
Bethany made all of this delicious food, and a beautiful table too:
My sweet friend Allison went out of her way and made the most adorable cookies!
We had so much fun together laughing as girls, and playing baby pictionary. It was so nice to be around all the dental wives, dentists, and close friends from work celebrating our little Hatch.
-Third Shower-
There are so many GREAT children's books, and a book themed shower hosted by my good friend Jeana from our church was so awesome. The ladies from our church gifted us their favorite children's book and it was so great to receive such good books-both classic and new.
Adorable Decorations
The food was themed after baby books:
We played "How Familiar are you with Children's Books" and apparently I am not familiar with any!
I had so much fun opening playing games and discovering great books with these girls~
Grateful for the love that has been showered upon you by so many with the much anticipated arrival of Baby Hatch.
