Taking Showers

This weekend my beloved boss threw me a quite unexpected baby shower. It was amazing fun with lots of good friends and family. I got plenty of goodies to prepare us for the (very soon) arrival of baby Olive. My boss's house is like an antique mall, which makes sense because she owns one. It was such a beautiful setting to spend a lovely evening with all of my friends! I am so thankful to be truly blessed with amazing people.

My mother even got me a vintage 1940s Pram buggy stroller, so this baby will take to the streets in severe vintage style! I can't wait to meet this baby, only 18-ish more days until my due date. I got my home birth tub all set up and ready to go.

The teal dress I am wearing is not maternity, and is actually just one of my favorite 1950s Jonathan Logan dresses... and yes I had to cram myself into it...

Oooooh what an amazing house, the kind you could live in and still discover new things all the time. I can't wait to see your new baby goodies :) Little miss Olive is going to be styling!
P.s. Olive was my number 2 baby name if we were having a girl so its obviously one of my favs!

I'm pretty sure I almost peed with glee when you said your birthing tub was all ready to go. Homebirth, cloth diapers, and lovely vintage style? My three favorite things!

I can't wait to see baby Olive!

Oh my goodness--what a lovely shower!!! :) You look amazing, Twila Jean (I've been taking notes on your maternity style since my husband and I are hoping to start a family, and I am determined to keep up the vintage look while pregnant! ;)! I am very envious that you got a 40s pram--Olive will be the most stylish baby! :)
