Baby Boy Brunch
by Kerrie on Apr.27, 2008, under Baby, Kerrie
My awesome friends threw a baby shower for me yesterday morning.
(Sarah, Katie, and Tammy)
It was a brunch with delicious waffles, muffins, cinnamon rolls, and fruit. As mentioned in my tag post, whipped cream is a favorite so I caked it on my waffles along with strawberries. It was divine!
Overall, I had about 17 friends show up. We had a lot of fun! We played guess the brand name of baby items. It was actually harder than I thought it would be. My mind went blank on some of them even though I have seen the product many times.
The other game was a “Guess the birth weight of the baby.” I saw all the guesses and many are guessing he’ll be above 9 lbs. I’m feeling a little smaller this time around so I’m guessing he’ll be around 8lbs. We’ll see in a little less than 4 weeks.
They also had each person tie a knot in this darling monkey fleece blanket.
I had a lot of fun and I’m so thankful for such great friends! We have been spoiled with all the amazing gifts! Here are some more pictures from the shower.

Me opening presents…I got so much fun boy stuff!
We have a ton of crafty people in our area. These are the homemade gifts I received. Two knotted fleece blankets, 4 burp cloths (they are so cute…I don’t want to get spit up on them;) and a sling (bottom right) and a hooded towel. I should have captured a picture of all the gifts but forgot to do so.
Last but certainly not least, I received a package in the mail from my dad and Vickie. Vickie (Grandma Price) made an adorable blanket. Thank you so much Vickie! We love it and can’t wait to swaddle our boy in it.

Hurray for good friends! That’s awesome that you got lots of good stuff! That blanket that Vickie made was adorable! By the way, I met a little boy at the park a couple of weeks ago whose name is Soren. I guess it’s not as uncommon as I thought it was.
P.S. I’m guessing that your baby will be 8lbs 2oz.

It looks like a fun and yummy party! I can’t believe all of the fabulous homeade stuff— Vickie’s quilt is so cute. I’m surprised people would guess the 9lb range. If we’re guessing…. I’m going to say 7lbs10oz. So, are you naming him Soren?

We are pretty set on naming him Luke. Soren may be a future child though.
PS I just had a check up today and the Dr. said she doesn’t think he’ll be big. So now my guess is somewhere in the upper 7 lbs range.

Wow! I don’t think I have 17 friends! You must have so much fun there with all those fun friends. Yea for gifts too! I love the name Luke! I’m going to play along with the guessing and say 8lbs 4oz. I can’t wait to check your blog for newborn pics soon!

how exciting! it’s always fun to have a party and even more fun when you get food and gifts
that sling is so cute, i wish i were crafty enough to figure out how to make one, i so want one for #4, my hands and arms are very precious these days 
if i were to guess a weight i would say 8lb. 8 oz.-sometimes the baby is bigger than you look (so i hear 
). so are you still scheduled for the 23rd?

How fun! That blanket Vickie made is beautiful. I can’t wait to see the little guy. My guess is that he’ll weigh 7 lb 13 oz. We’ll have to wait and see.
