Baby Shower Photos

Yesterday, October 24, 2015 was my baby shower. Theme was "gender reveal" because everyone  didnt have any idea on what our first baby was gonna be. Jam and I were completely clueless! Our friend Sheena and my sister Ainee were the only ones who knew about it. Sheena was with me during my 4th or 5th monthly checkup/ ultrasound and I asked her to take a look at the gender, so we could have this kind of baby shower. 

Exactly 5 months ago, during my birthday, I surprised everyone about the pregnancy news, so this time, we decided to make another surprise announcement, too. :-) We had an outdoor baby shower, which i loved because yesterday's weather was absolutely great. The shower theme/colors really popped out, and the whole place was just full pf positive vibes! My closest relatives and friends were there, which meant everything to me, too.

I am thanking my parents especially, for making everything possible yesterday. Alhamdulillah. My mom was the one who really put time and effort in it. Special thanks to my aunts and friends who cooked good food for the event, too. And of course to Sheena & Ainee who really kept the secret, and made efforts to make the surprise work, too. Thank you to my INSTAGRAM/TWITTER/FB/SNAPCHAT followers for expressing their excitement, happiness, and prayers over online comments, too! :-) I love you all!

Thanks to KAI's LOUNGE who decorated the dessert table and backdrop! :)
Thanks to GLAMOUR RESTO for the yummy merienda treats, too!

Yesterday was so fun, and i couldnt help but feel grateful to my family and friends who constantly shower us with love and care. Jam and I had been trying to have this baby inside me for almost 2 years already, and now that it's here, I cannot stop thanking Allah swt.. so I appreciate and treasure things like this (baby shower,) much more than Im supposed to. 

Alhamdulillah for this blessing we're both having.
Alhamdulillah, always.




Anyhoo! Here are the photos im sharing! :-)

Gender Reveal Baby Shower preparations


Some things I made for my baby shower yesterday. 


The diaper raffle idea was really good, because i received a lot of diaper packs, which actually already served as gifts. 

Old Wives Tales Gender prediction chart was also made and posted online before baby shower day came. Note that this was all for fun, and i dont believe in superstitions, or what the Filipinos call "pamahiin"
