My cousin, Jessica Whitesell Bird, just had her first baby. She lives in Springville, but all of her siblings and parents live in South Carolina. Her mom and sisters bought plane tickets to come the night before her due date. I decided to give her a baby shower and planned to do it on her due date so that her mom and sisters could be here for the shower. About 3 hours before the shower I got the call that she was in the hospital. We decided to bring the shower there. We all went to the hospital and visited with cousins, Aunts, Uncles, parents and grandparents. We didn't go visit Jessica as she was in labor, but we still had a good time visiting with relatives that we don't get to see very often.
Amber made this amazing Dr. Seuss cake. She molded the cat in the hat from a homemade fondant. Many still came to my house for dinner before going to the hospital. We had French Dip sandwiches (Who Roast Beast), Lemonade (pink ink drink), baked beans (Who hash), Fruit and fruit dip (Who pudding).
Jessica's last name is Bird. The baby's name had not been decided at the time and that's why the cake says, "Welcome Baby Bird! By Kevin and Jessica." She ended up naming him, Cory Dee Bird.
