Maybree is Perfect!

My sweet baby niece is here! She was born on Monday at 2:11 pm. Mom and baby are doing really great! Maybree Lynn is my only niece and I plan on spoiling her rotten just like I have her brother. I am thrilled to be a LaLa again. These two pictures were snapped in the waiting room. It was pretty much waiting room hell with two toddlers. By the end of the day, both boys were hyped up on sugar and soda (both things they rarely get to have and used all they had on great grandparents and grandparents to get said sugar and soda). At one point (as you can see below) Jack went out. It lasted 15 minutes and he woke up so cranky. The waiting room was full and these two entertained the crowd by playing American Ninja Warrior. It was a mad house! 

It was all worth it, of course. Maybree is a natural at breastfeeding (thank God!). Hopefully, they will be home by the time I get off work and I will get to hold that sweet baby again. Oh that baby smell!

Baby Shower Favorites

On Sunday I hosted a baby shower for my sister Samantha. She is due to have Maybree Lynn on November 2. Her best friend Wendy was also a hostess. Wendy is much like me and loves crafting. I am an awful blogger and didn't take many pictures. It is really hard to host and take pictures. I should have asked someone to take over photography duties. Since I don't have a lot of pictures of the actual shower I will share with you a few of my favorite decor items. Our theme was a girly woodland theme.

1// It's hard to see from the picture but the pumpkin was spray painted coral. Please don't pay attention to the stem. I meant to tie a burlap bow to the top and it ended up not happening as time became an issue. I use a gold paint pen for the M and the dots. I am no artist!

2// I created this print using Picmonkey. My now plan is to print this again but on burlap. It will be super cute in her nursery. 

3// I picked this chalkboard up from Target for $3. The woodland animals were from a $1 cardboard wreath I purchased from Family Dollar. 

4// I ordered this print from this Etsy shop. It was only $5 and it fit the theme perfectly. It is also going to be displayed in Maybree's nursery. 

5// I can't take credit for the spray painted pine cones (my co-hostess did them) but I loved the pop they brought. I had a super cute metal leaf tray for them to be displayed in.
