Baby Shower #1

After Saturday, I feel very blessed to have such great family and friends and grateful for the time they spent with me (and Ryan) and the wonderful baby gifts they brought.  The afternoon of talking, laughing, eating and reminiscing and learning about what some of the gifts were that I opened.  Probably the best one was that I kept calling the teething toys chew toys instead.  Oops.  Well I figure Miller will eventually get his paws on them so then they will be chew toys (he already brought one of them out to me).  Also, baby D's library is quite extensive already.  I think we better start practicing by reading a book a night until he or she comes.  Baby D now a high chair, 2 strollers, a car seat, lots of toys, a bouncy chair, a portable swing, burp clothes, diapers, and so much more.  Having all the baby stuff here is making me realize how close our due date really is - less than 8 weeks away and I think it will go by quickly.



A big thank you to my best friend Alicia for all she did to help with the shower - all the wondering decorations and fun activities she planned. (writing sayings on diapers, decorating blocks, and leaving a message for the baby)  It was perfect.  And to my sisters for all the food and drinks and coordinating all the people that came and keeping the party going.  I am so lucky!  And this baby is going to have some amazing aunts.
