Eat Like a Rabbit

Last night was our first baby shower. Paul couldn't attend because he was sick. The girls at my office did an amazing job of decorating and supplying me with some baby necessities. I'm so spoiled.

I specifically wanted to highlight the cake. My nuc techs appeared disappointed because Publix had messed up the cake with the color of the icing (being too bright) and the saying on the banner (was supposed to say Baby Martin or something). I didn't care. I thought it was lovely. Probably if I had been the hostess, I would have been upset, too. But it was my cake for me. The girls had gone to a lot of trouble for me, and I thought it was great.

I also wanted to highlight the diaper cake that was displayed behind the sheet cake. Some people have never seen diaper cakes before. So, let's educate you now. These are not edible! Although some people may find it amusing to make a cake in the shape of a diaper with colored filling and cake to resemble what can be found in a diaper, this is not the case with a diaper cake! A very talented girl at the office puts these real diapers togeth and stacks them to resemble a beautifully designed cake. She actually makes hair bows out of the ribbon, eliminating waste, and making the whole creation useful.

I was so amazed by the talent behind all the home-made presents I received and Praise God for the love shown to me and to the baby-to-be. Thanks especially to Michelle, Laura, and Sophia who planned the shower and put the snacks together.
