Baby Shower

I recently hosted a baby shower for one of my best friends and let me tell you, it was a blast. My mom and I have never had the chance to plan a baby shower before and we kind of got carried away with all of the cute ideas that you could come up with. Our theme was The Jungle and I think we did an adorable job. I had to resist myself from buying every little cute thing out there.

For the most part, I was able to help organize the shower, but when it came to decorating and hanging things up, it became a little more challenging. Being in a wheelchair and trying to decorate for a party is definitely not easy. You have to ask for a lot of help and pretty much just supervise. When it came to the party favors and the centerpieces, it wasn’t as bad; I was able to help with those. Even though I could not physically hang things up and decorate on my own, I was still able to do a lot of other things that brought the party together. If you set your mind to something, there is always a way to achieve that goal, you might just need to ask for a little help along the way.

Planning this event was very emotional for me because I’m not sure if I would ever get to experience a baby shower of my own. Maybe these feelings were the reason why I wanted to take on this task. Even though my emotions were all over the place, I’m glad I had really good friends and family around me to keep me distracted.

I want to thank everyone who helped put together this adorable shower and an extra special thanks to my parents, I could not have done it without them. Also, congratulations to the parents to be, I love you all so much and I can’t wait to meet little man!
