Baby Fever

In a few weeks, we will have a new itty-bitty neighbor across the street. We love our neighbors, and everyone in the 'hood can't wait for her arrival!

This Sunday, the girls of the neighborhood will hold a baby shower in her honor.  I've been working on the details with another neighbor of ours, and it's shaping up to be a fun afternoon!  As the snow is melting, and everyone is thinking of spring, it's not too difficult to find springy colors and girly details to add to the party.  Why is planning for baby girls so much easier than planning for baby boys?

The guys in the neighborhood also have plans for a "shower" (if you can call it that) to happen this Saturday.  They have been tirelessly planning their shower since, well, yesterday,  and no detail will go unnoticed, I'm sure. 

Here are some of the party details we've envisioned:

Invitations...

The Girls:
This was sent out a long time ago, ordered from a professional, created with care.
The Guys:
This was delivered via cryptic envelopes marked, "Open Soon: Time Sensitive Material Inside."
Food...

Girls:
fondue fun!
Scratch Bakery Cupcakes - to die for! 
Cookies and other desserts - they won't look this cute, trust me. 
Guys:
Uh...I like Mulligans
The OP is good...
Maybe head downtown?
Becks?
The decorations and details...

Girls:
Onesies and itty-bitty things
flowery and girl stuff
Bring your favorite children's book!

Guys:
Bring diapers, so we can pretend our night out drinking beer has something to do with the baby.
Clearly the guys have once again outplanned and outworked the women. We can't wait for you to arrive, baby Feldick! : )
