You DONUT know how much I love you...

Basically what I said to the new boppy I got.  

My friend who missed the shower surprised me with gifts for Olivia & did a great job! She was like, "Sorry I missed your shower but I got this because I know how much you love donuts". Umm, is there another way for me to say thankyou so much you're perfect?! She also got Olivia a pink Jordan onesie set & matching Jordan booties because she knew my husband had really hoped for a boy first haha. OH, I have no idea where she found it but she wrote the sweetest note in the sweet pea card! I always get so lucky with a great group of friends :) they just KNOW me. Officially gonna crave donuts even more now. No shame ;) 

Witch Doctor

So, a couple weeks ago my coworker messaged me in a group text raving about essential oils and I was like hmmm, dont know what this is but I'll ask her when I see her at work(ya know, to avoid the whole group text million man replies) Once I got around to asking her she explained everything and had me pretty much sold by the end of it. She explained all the benefits, how all natural it was and explained the benefits of it during pregnancy. Yes, DURING PREGNANCY! & POST PREGNANCY FOR THE BABY!! Immediately I was like girrrrrrl get me some! Ever since then I've been hooked.(Obviously before you use anything on your body during preganancy you should clear it with your midwife/Dr) My favorite oil of the 3 from the kit is Lavender.

I've used it as many ways as I can. It seems like everyday I read an article about more benefits or my friend brings in more info for me. So funny because the more she learns the more Im asking her for home remedies and a reminder of how to combine oils to get the best use. Whenever she talks about them you would think she was Hermione Granger studying for a potions final haha I can laugh all I want but these are really great and safe alternatives to everything. Enough of my little rave. Im no expert on essential oils nor am I looking to benefit. Just really obsessed with these. Like, really obsessed. Buuut I can point you to my friend Christina. She's a Wellness Advocate for this and my own personal "witch doctor" haha she even bought me a diffuser! Thanks again by the way!!  

Olivia's Baby Shower

Those were a couple details of the shower before guests started to show. Our theme was Sweet Pea but since its spring we incorporated the theme with flowers. "Like a sweet pea tucked safely away a little baby is blooming today" Every detail was perfect, handmade and inexpensive. My cousins Maricela & Priscilla brought the super yummy pastries all the way from LA! Chocolate & horchata flavored mini cupcakes & the strawberry/banana filled tres leches cake was sooo good!! 

A couple pics with our friends and family from the shower. Still getting all the pics from people because I was so busy making my rounds catching up with loved ones who showed up. I had 3 friends who drove up from San Diego to attend our shower and it really meant alot. True friends! 

We got showered with so much love and gifts for our daughter! So appreciative of everything we receieved. Olivia will be the cutest dressed baby on the block thanks to our family and friends! ;) We got alot of the big things on our registry AND more!! We requested books instead of cards to help build Olivia's mini library. Cant wait to start reading them all to her. We also held a "diaper raffle" so everyone who brought a bag of diapers was entered to win. The prize was a 50$ gift certificate to Red Lobster. Our friend Julie was the winner :) Even the dogs were dressed up haha Overall, so blessed with all the love surrounding us yesterday. Thankyou!  

The parents-to-be & Olivias blended grandparents. She's got a Jamaican grandpa, a Mexican grandma, a Black grandma & a White grandpa. Our daughter will just be one big mix of culture and cuteness :) Unfortunatly, my father in law couldn't make the shower because he's been in the hospital awaiting a heart. He was there in spirit and we love him more than anything. If you come from a praying backround please add him in your prayers. There's a fund to help the family with all the unexpected financial burdens that pop up along the way & to donate just click the link in my sidebar

Olivia's daddy & mommy :) Cant wait to meet you baby girl! Thankyou again for all  the help we recieved planning a shower and all the love. We're so blessed!
