On Sept. 25th, Ryan's mom and stepdad threw us a baby shower at our house in Wisconsin. We had a great turnout (about 30 people) and loved having the opportunity to show off the baby's nursery. The house was filled with beautiful decorations and everyone wore name tags that contained an ultrasound picture of baby Hags foot.
After everyone arrived and had some appetizers, we played a few fun games. During the first game, everyone received a ziploc bag containing a baby frozen in an ice cube. When the baby was freed from the ice, the winners screamed "My water broke". In the second game, we paired up and competed to put a diaper on a baby doll using only one hand from each partner. Ryan and I's baby did not look very comfortable in her diaper! The last game was a drinking game (so I obviously did not participate). We filled baby bottles with 4oz of beer and participants raced to empty their bottles. I had a great time watching all our guy friends trying to get the beer out of the baby bottle nipples. The winner was smart enough to chew a hole in the nipple so that more came out. We won't be able to use that bottle in the future!
Once the games were played, Ryan and I opened gifts. We received lots of wonderful presents for the baby including baby clothes, bottle feeding supplies, and a pack-n-play. We are so thankful to everyone for the baby gifts.
Next we enjoyed a dinner of lasagna, salad, bread and cake.
Thank you to everyone who came to our shower. We especially thank Ryan's mom and stepdad who were wonderful hosts and made the shower amazing. Now we just need this baby to arrive so we can show him all the amazing gifts he has received from friends and family.
