Tonight will be my first triple babyshower that I'll be attending in an hour. I'm still a little sick, so I will bounce out after 20 minutes (a planned escape) to go get Pizza Hut with Mark.Buying gifts for three different babies proved easy, just expensive. You can't get one girl something extravagant just because you're her visiting teacher, so to be fair, you get all three girls something just as fun.
Pajamas! Footsie pajamas to be more precise. With onesies to wear underneath. I always go a size bigger than newborns. This means getting the 3 month old size. I like to think that I'm helping them plan a few weeks ahead for when the baby outgrows all the cutsie teeny stuff.

You see the gold shimmery bag in the back? That was the only bag I had, so I bought the cute 8" bags from the Base Exchange (BX) and stuffed white tissue paper at the top to hide the gift, of course. Usually, I try to give non-baby bags at baby showers so that they can reuse them for most any occasion. The camera light setting was on Sun, so that's why they look a little yellow. When I turned it off, the bags looked blue. I stuck to this one:

those gift bags are CUTE! and max had those blue pjs in in the middle. in fact, i'm pretty sure he got two sets of those. very soft and cozy! i'm sorry you're not feeling good!
There's nothin' like Pizza Hut to make you feel better when you are a little under the weather! A TRIPLE shower? That WOULD be expensive. But on the recieving end, showers are so so so nice. :)
I love the planned escape idea!!! I do that kinda stuff all the time!
Did you buy them jammies at your friendly neighborhood target??
I love target.
Aubrey - oh they were so soft and cozy. No worries with my cold. I've almost kicked it. The worst part hit over Thanksgiving weekend. Perfect timing, eh?
Jamie - I agree! The pizza made me feel very happy and warm. I'm sure showers are wonderful on the receiving end. The wedding shower(s) were just unbelievable with how much they helped out; I'm sure it's the same with a baby!
HSF - Paisley is a lot of fun. :) I don't know why, but no matter how much I see them I always thing it looks nice.
Lauren - aren't planned escapes just dandy? I wish there was a friendly neighborhood Target around! This is the second city I've lived in the last year and a half without a target for 200 miles. Very sad. Rumor has it that there's on being built right now in Anchorage. At least Alaska knows what's up!
CUUUUTE gift bags! I LOVE THEM! And little footed pj's are so cute on little babies. Good idea on the 3 month thing. Lily out grew a lot of her little stuff and then there was nothin that fit her!
