Showered!

Sunday was our beautiful baby shower. It was held at St. Andrews and Baby Boy Chiappetta was certainly "showered"! Here is a picture of the candy bar favors...
My friend Laura made over 70 of these adorable lifesaver pacifiers. So cute!
The baby also loved this delicious Chocolate Raspberry cake!
Who would have guessed, blue flowers!
Lou took a break from studying to attend the shower. Hopefully he wasn't too overwhelmed with all of the fun baby stuff!
Thanks to everyone for sharing the day with us and for all of the beautiful gifts.

Nursery: In Progress

One of our guest bedrooms has been painted this blue color since we moved in. When we found out we were having a boy, Lou decided that certainly this room should become the nursery!

With the help of my mom, Lindsey, and Tyler, we added the brown stripes on Saturday. In addition, we added some additional shelves in his closet. (Note, the mattress is not in the crib yet. That is just a folded up blanket.)
We received our crib bedding and accessories from Lou's parents for our shower and the nursery furniture from my parents. Baby Chiappetta is going to LOVE his room!
And here's the baby himself!
We ordered a dresser and chair for the room which should arrive in the next week or two. After that, we will be able to put up the wall hangings and really finish the nursery.
