Episode 8 of the pregnancy series holds a special place in my heart—it marks a milestone that I’ve been eagerly anticipating for months: Baby Coelho’s first-ever shower! It was a day filled with laughter, love, and a whole lot of fun. Not to mention, we celebrated this magical moment in true summer style, with the sun shining brightly and the warmth of the season wrapping around us like a cozy hug.
As you know, I’m absolutely in love with summer. The energy, the light, the sense of freedom—it’s the perfect backdrop for a celebration like this. The day couldn’t have been more fitting, and I was beyond excited to have our closest family and friends by our side to share in the joy of welcoming our little one into the world.
A Day of Joy, Laughter, and Love
This baby shower wasn’t just any event—it was Baby Coelho’s first big celebration! I could already feel the excitement in the air. Several friends got to see me pregnant for the first time, which made the day even more meaningful. There was something so beautiful about seeing everyone’s reactions, their smiles, and just how excited they were to meet Baby Coelho in the near future.
We had tons of fun activities planned for the day. The highlight was definitely the games! We played a bunch of games that had everyone laughing and getting a little creative. One of the most fun moments was when we gave the guests onesies and encouraged them to use their imagination and customize them for the baby. It was incredible to see how everyone got so into it and came up with the most adorable and personal designs!
A Heartfelt Request: Giving Back
Instead of traditional gifts for the baby, I wanted to do something a little different. As many of you know, causes close to my heart always find their way into these special moments. So, I asked each guest to make a donation to the Epilepsy Foundation, a cause that helps children living with epilepsy. It’s important to me that we use these moments of celebration to make a positive impact on others, and I’m so grateful to everyone who participated. It was such a meaningful way to give back, especially when we think about how blessed we are to be able to celebrate this new chapter in our lives.
A Stylish and Meaningful Decor
Of course, no celebration is complete without an amazing setting—and for Baby Coelho’s first shower, we wanted something that felt luxurious, warm, and truly reflective of the little one on the way. The theme was all about lions and greenery, which felt perfect for our baby boy, whose zodiac sign will be Leo. The space was filled with adorable stuffed lions, and the lush greenery added such a fresh, vibrant vibe to the atmosphere. It was a beautiful, calming, and joyous space for everyone to enjoy.
The entire decor had that chic touch, with gorgeous items from brands like Pipette and Dior. Yes, you read that right—Baby Coelho is already living the chic life! The table set from Dior truly elevated the vibe of the day, adding a touch of sophistication to our intimate celebration. It was all about creating an experience that felt elegant and meaningful, while still being lighthearted and full of joy.
Looking Back at an Unforgettable Day
As I reflect on this day, I can’t help but feel incredibly grateful for the amazing people in our lives. It was a perfect mix of fun, generosity, and heartfelt moments. Watching our friends and family celebrate with us, sharing their excitement and joy for Baby Coelho, made everything even more special.
And let’s be real—this baby shower was just the beginning of the wonderful moments that we’ll have as we get ready to welcome our son into the world. It was such a beautiful way to mark the final stretch of this pregnancy journey, and I’m beyond thankful for all the memories we made.
