Diaper Wreaths

For my baby shower my sister made me this Diaper Wreath, and I adore it. Seriously, its still hanging on Jackson's nursery door. We hung it on our hospital room door and on our front door the day we bought Jackson home. I love it!

My sister-in-law and a good friend of mine are both having baby girls this Spring. And both of their showers are this weekend! I wanted to do something special for them, so I decided to make diaper wreaths for them. I'm definitely not as talented as my sister, but I think they came out pretty cute. I used to make everyone diaper cakes, but I like these so much better. The best part about making a wreath is that you don't have to take it apart to use the gifts attached!

Coming next are step-by-step instructions on how I made my wreaths. You should try one for the next shower you attend!

What you'll need to make a wreath:
A wire wreath frame or something that is thin enough to wrap diapers around
A package of diapers (keep in mind that I made two, so you won't need as much)
Clear rubber bands
Ribbon
Letters
Baby stuff
Sticky stripes

One week down, one more to go

One week of my two week wait is finally over. This has been the longest week ever, and I am sure next week is going to be even worse! The bloating has finally gone down a little, at least I am comfortable.

Last Friday I did my trigger shot, so my doctor said that I can test next Friday... let's see if I last that long. I know that I will risk getting a false positive, but sometimes a girl just has to pee on a stick:)

We are hosting an LSU themed couples baby shower for our dear friends this weekend. They are expecting twin girls this winter. Next weekend we have friends coming in from New York, and the weekend after that my dad is coming down for a visit. We have a busy month ahead of us!

Diaper Cake

Thanks to this link I was able to put together a pretty cute diaper cake for my sister in law's baby shower this weekend. I am not the most creative person in the world, so I was pretty impressed with my creation. I only wish I would have tried this about 4 months ago for my best friend's shower!

On a side note, Gustav must have blown something in the air. My sinus are a mess and I am not feeling too hot.
