This weekend, I hit the 33 week mark and also had the first of two baby showers to celebrate baby Souder with friends and family.  From the very beginning starting with the gorgeous watercolor baby shower invitations by Yao Cheng for Minted, everything was perfect.  It was a beautiful, feminine brunch at Lindey’s – one of our family’s favorite restaurants in Columbus.

We started with mimosas and bellinis, then moved onto a summery brunch menu including my favorite breakfast – eggs benedict.

All of the wonderful women in our lives showered us with thoughtful and functional gifts for baby Souder.  From a gorgeous homemade quilt to loads of books to jumpstart the little one’s library.

We finished up with some amazing mini cupcakes from Blush Arrow Cakes and plenty of stories and advice from our amazing friends and family.

It was such a beautiful day for a shower outside on the patio and I couldn’t be more thankful to my sister-in-laws and Mother-in-law for hosting such a gorgeous event in my honor.  What a blessing it is to be surrounded by so many people who care so much about our little bundle.
