Baby Shower Pocket Invitations

November 11, 2009 was the last time I worked on these, that is until yesterday.  Ya see I was pregnant with my 2nd daughter and when I finished the outside of the last one I got up from the table and felt as if I peed myself.  I went to the bathroom and more came out but I still felt as if it were just pee.  I decided to just go back about my business and finish dinner.  When my husband came home I told him what had happened and we talked about whether or not to call the doctor.  I did end up calling the doctor and he told us to come in just to make sure.  So we hopped in the car and drove to the hospital.  They quickly took me in and did the test that would tell whether or not it was urine or amniotic fluid.  Within 5 minutes we knew, my water broke and I was only 30 weeks pregnant.  They proceeded to get me prepared to be moved to another hospital more equiped to handle 30 week old babies.  Needless to say, I spent the next week on bedrest in the hospital.  Then my baby decided to have some heart decellerations that caused the doctors to deliver my baby girl at 31 weeks via C-section on November 17, 2009 weighing only 3 lbs. 1 oz.  Jaidyn spent the next 27 days in the NICU and I never was able to finish my baby shower invitations nor did I have a baby shower. 

So I decide that I would finish the invitations (all 24), keep one or two in my daughter's scrapbook and either give these away to a friend in need or sell them.  I know one day Jaidyn will get a kick out of what she had put me through before she was even born.

I used these items to create these baby shower invitations:

• Design Studio
• Doodlecharms Cricut cartridge - diaper bag, teddy bear, bottle
• New Arrival Cricut cartridge - "Baby Shower"
• tiny pink buttons
• Studio G clear stamps - "She's Expecting" invitation info (on the back of the pull out)
• Glossy Accents - bottle
• Recollections Flocking - teddy bear
• google eyes - teddy bear

Here is a closer look at the pull out (I just love the flocked teddy bear):
