Pretty In Pink

I talked to Bella and she said it was time for a party. She thinks she might be able to win the "Baby Bottle Chugging" contest for sure! So girlies...it is on! Time to get the pink ducks in a row and let's have a shower....heck, let's make it a storm, what do you say? I'll be posting ideas I'm kicking around in my head for the Bella Pink Party and throwing them out there for y'alls approval.

She's doing great with the bottle. She is now getting three a day in addition to five line feeds (btw, they are weaning her off the fortification to put weight on. Hmmm, wonder why?!!) and hopefully will be adding a fourth bottle by the end of the week! We are getting closer and closer to that glorious day when she comes home! As my daughter-in-law Misty says...."She's a chunkalove!". For some reason I just cannot get the photos of the ring to focus any better than this. Everything else photographs fine, so I don't know what I am doing wrong, but I promise y'all up and down, this ring is just 2die4 and I'll be giving it to someone on the day of the shower. So we are all agreed that it will be this Sunday the 26th? What time is good for you? I'm flexible...just don't want the petits fours to melt in the heat.

Speaking of petits fours, I saw this cake on another blog (I'm sorry...I can't remember where and I looked for it all day!) and now I am on a mission. I want poodle cookies for my guests just like these. Does anyone know a baker in the Rockwall area who does something like this that is not going to want my firstborn child as payment? I've been doing a lot of calling to Dallas bakeries and I really don't want to put their children through college! Help me out here y'all! I adore the cake as well and would love petits fours or cupcakes something like the top layer to serve. Do you love it as much as me? Thought you would!

Instead of sherbet punch, what would y'all think of pink champagne cocktails? That's the only pink I can think of. I'm open to any and all recipes as long as they are pink! It's been a long five months and pink elephants would look mighty good right about now!

So here's what I thought about the guest list. If you RSVP in the comments section and let me know you will be attending Sunday and participating with a post of your own, I'll do a guest registry on my sidebar just like I did for Mother's birthday party. (Do you realize that was just four days before Jenn had to go into the hospital? Seems like a million years ago. Girls, I need a party bad!) Then on Sunday, we all post around the same time and check out each other's baby photos. Like I said before, they can be of your dog (Sweet Tanner!), your husband, children, grandchildren, baby birds, baby clothes, anything having to do with babies. It could be old postcards, photos, vintage silver baby cups...have fun with it! I just want everyone to have a good time and leave here with a smile on their face!

But that is not all you will be leaving with. Oh no sirree bob...everyone who plays gets a Junk Sista coozie just by sending me your address and to drive you just a little bit crazy in the meantime.....here's another hint as to my special party favor for one guest attending the shower:

~A shoemaker makes shoes without leather

with four elements all together,

Fire, water, earth and air,

and every customer takes two pair!~

Well I see my little nursery rhyme hint has put my sweet Bella to sleep. I wouldn't want to wake her, so I'll tiptoe quietly out until tomorrow.

Goodnight Moon
