Baby Shower

It's the oddest thing, but I was actually excited about a baby shower! I did feel a little guilty about this, since I am not sure I have EVER been excited about anyone else's baby shower. Perhaps that is because I stressed about picking the right present. Or maybe because after a while I had to admit to myself that my turn might not ever come. But it did come! And it's so enjoyable and amazing to have all these friends be excited and happy for us too. Everyone wrote such kind things in their cards and gave us such cute stuff! But it was kind of uncomfortable being the only one with presents.

I look really doofy in these pictures, but this is just to show you how generous and kind everyone was! Such a pile of loot! Our baby is so loved! Or maybe they are trying to offset the inevitable trauma our boy will suffer for having us as parents. By the way, I am holding a Winnie the Pooh memory book. I was just told to look up and smile. Geeky came without instruction.

This is to show the tasty snacks my amazing hostess friends provided. Jill offered her house (and the chocolate!); Mollie contributed sandwiches and fruit and veggies and cake; and Mary helped with invitations and food stuff too. They even constructed this diaper tower and arranged all these cute one-sies around it!






This is the final stack of loot, with the masses of tissue paper next to it. Lots of people made burp cloths (which I am SURE we will need all of them) or other cute things. Kali made a nifty diaper & wipe holder thing to go inside a diaper bag. And we received a good start of adorable clothes - probably the only chance our boy has of being a classy dress-er.
