The Baby Shower

June 25, 2011 - The Baby Shower

We had a wonderful time at the baby shower that was hosted by my mother-in-law, Linda. She was so concerned about it being perfect for me... which was a moot point because I'm a pretty laid back person.  But we had a lovely shower - despite inclimate weather.


My family from Oklahoma and Wisconsin came over... it was great to have them over and see some of them again. We were impressed with the turn out - it wasn't huge... but it was just right.

We got every large item that was on our list... and the decorative elements for the nursery. We also got lots of clothes and blankets - he's definitely not going to be a naked or cold child! I was humbled by the gifts we received.

We did end up having a few items that were duplications - so we traded them in and one of the large items and finished out almost everything on our registry list. We had originally registered for a co-sleeper bassinet... but I got overwhelmed when we got everything and decided we'd go ahead and return that (we have plenty of things for the little man to sleep in anyway).

Now, we're in a mad dash to the end of the pregnancy... I have to get the items hung up in the nursery and get some of the blankets stored away. I'd like to move the dressers around, but I can't seem to find the motivation to do so... or get Rob to be motivated enough to help.

I can't believe we only have a little over 3 weeks left until the little guy is here!
