Guests that attended are former co-workers from Cheeseburger in Paradise, and present co-workers from Bonefish. We're basically one big family anyway, so it worked out perfectly! The shower was thrown by a few of my closest friends, Susan Partaker, Meghan Hinton, and Brian Warren. Brian was kind enough to host the shower at his house, so therefore it became not only a baby shower, but a co-ed baby shower. Surprisingly, if you offer alcohol at a baby shower, boys are likely to attend! Who knew!?
I received some great gifts, including a basket full of books that are all personalized by the person who bought the book. I loved this idea, because they are now super meaningful to me and each one will have a story behind it. There was also a diaper raffle, so I got a huge stockpile of diapers that I'm sure will last me the first few months. Congrats to Beth for winning the raffle and a great bottle of wine!
My favorite gifts came from my amazing friend Meghan, who hand-crocheted this adorable pink elephant cuddle blanket, booties, a hat, and a beautiful blanket. I was completely shocked when I saw these gifts, and I really feel so blessed to have a friend who would take the time to put such hard work into a gift for our little baby. These gifts will be cherished for years to come! 
After all has been said and done, it was truly a day I will never forget. I only hope that as my child grows up, she will meet loving people and form lasting relationships along the way. I really do feel so blessed to have such amazing people in my life and I am very thankful to have found each and every one of you!
