The weekend was filled with Amanda's wedding shower, and our baby shower. We were able to get Amanda to her shower 7 minutes before it started! It was a close one! And then we were able to spend some time with Scott and Sue in Owatonna.
We were so blessed to have such a great shower for our little guy. It was amazing! So many people were able to make it.
My mom and I had a conversation about what was a necessity as far as the baby goes and it made me a lot more confident as far as being "ready". The shower helped immensely! We received some great gifts and gift cards! I could hardly wait to get back and put it all together, which I did on Tuesday ASAP. And then immediately sat down and made a list of things we still needed. I picked those things up this morning, and put everything together. I mean, we'll never have enough diapers and wipes...but I think we're set, otherwise!

Some cute baseball and football pillows along with a feeding pillow.
I saw this lamp and HAD to have it! Its base is a baseball bat, and the string you pull to turn it on is a whistle. How adorable! Along with the book ends that match perfectly! Thanks Amanda! His cute little piggy bank already has some money in it!
The bedding came! I love it more than I thought. Along with the little bouncer all courtesy Nana R.
With the gift cards, I picked up the pack n play and diaper bag. We got a blanket at the shower that matches everything so perfectly. We'll use the pack n play in our bedroom for the first few weeks until he's ready for his own room.I washed all of his clothes last night and put them away while Neil was in the room with me, and I thought he was going to lose it. He's pretty nervous. It's obviously a good nervous, but still pretty funny.
Mandy, it all looks so great! What a fun room?! Thanks for the shout on the book ends. I hope to get the books out to you all next week.
ReplyDeleteBeyond the room being ready, I think both Neil and you are getting more and more emotionally ready. Being scared, excited, nervous, giggly, exhausted are all part of the process I'm sure. I think you being so open with it all is also helping you through all the different stages. But then again, I've never been pregnant. So, what do I know?! ;-) Keep the blogs coming. I love them!!
