Last weekend all of the special ladies in my life gathered together at my parent's house to celebrate our little Culotta. My mom and mother-in-law threw the prettiest baby shower ever! We are beyond blessed to have such great family and friends who love us and our baby girl so much. It was an afternoon filled with lots of yummy food, laughs, and loads of pink.
We are definitely feeling the love, thank you all!

As you can see from the photos, we've finally put baby girl's name out there. Miss Harper will (hopefully) be joining in less than 6 weeks! I cannot believe how close we are. Opening all of her beautiful gifts only helped make that all the more real. Speaking of, who knew you could make so many cute things out of diapers?! We received a diaper wreath, cake, flower bouquet, and diaper babies! Somehow I think we'll find a way to put them all to good use ;)
My crafty cousin, Laura, made this adorable board for Harper so we can document her growth and development each month after she's born. The even better news is she's opened an Etsy shop to sell personalized boards! Her shop name is LadyMayCreations, she makes and sells monthly infant and school aged grade boards with chore charts on the way!
All of the creative gifts got me thinking that the daddy-to-be needed a little something as well. He put up with holding my hair, late night food runs, and hearing the endless disgusting details about my body changing. Yes, I am not below shoving whatever body part has morphed into something else into his face and yelling "see!". That being said, he also needed a bigger tool box and travel mug. So why not make a daddy toolbox out of it? The boy in the green boots loved it :)
Last but not least, the weekly bumpdate. Apparently, this is the watermelon week where you go from cute and pregnant to a grumpy beast who resembles a blimp. Too much belly for you yet?
