Turtles first mini shower!

In Peru, my wonderful aunts set up a little function at my grandma's sisters house. It was really nice. All my family (my mom's side) came and we were able to enjoy great stores and of course great food!

These ladies are outright amazing. My Tia Sarita and Tia Rosemary were both telling me there birth stories, and to be honest, they were nice to hear! My Tia Sarita has 5 kids, all which were born with no epidural and 3 of which were actually birthed at home, or in one case basically in the car! Her labors only lasted 1 hour and sometimes less! If only I could be so lucky! heck, if only we could ALL be so lucky.

I swear, something must have been different in the water back then, I couldn't even imagine giving birth on pure breathing techniques etc. Okay, I have to stop talking about this, by body is starting to tense up! lol

Anyway, the other thing that the do/have done is nit/crotchet. I mean stuff that would make your head spin! All I can say is baby Turtle is in good hands! She already has some amazing baby clothes and blankets purchased and made by all her lovely Tias'! Thanks again ladies!
Here are some pictures of the amazing blankets and clothes I got in Peru. (I only purchased stuff that I couldn't find in Cali) I purchased almost 20 outfits! she is going to get me in trouble~

(Oh, and we got some Wawas too (that is what they call baby sling carriers) for only like $20! of course I bought 4!lol

OMG....I want that blue and white handmade dress and shoes. Everything is soooo gorgeous! Congrats on a little girl. There is way more stuff for girls than for boys...in my opinion...and that means you are gonna go bankrupt buying it all! Have fun!
