Shower of Happiness

Even though I was extremely nervous at first, it was a really great time. SO many gifts, great food, and most of my family and friends were there. Jay was great when we finally lugged everything home. He right away hung things up and ran out for baby-friendly laundry detergent. We went through all the clothes, bedding and blankets and started washing them. So right now, we just have the biggest boxes stacked around the living room.

Everyone was so generous and we received many of the items on our registry but there's still more to get. My main priority is my glider :-) We have the perfect place for it in the room. We may go to Babies 'R' Us tonight to exchange some duplicate gifts in order to get it.

I should have some pictures to share soon!

Just wanted to give a shout-out to Kristine and Diana. Two of the greatest friends anyone could ever have. They did SO much to make the shower beautiful and fun! And the theme, "A Star is Born" was genius!

And of course a huge THANK YOU to my mom for insisting on the place and for picking up the tab. It was a wonderful, wonderful day.

My Shower's Tomorrow!!!!

I seriously hope my back feels better by then. I might've cracked a rib from coughing hard this week. Docs say there is no way to tell right now, all I can do is rest and take some pain meds. I've had to sleep sitting up on my couch for the last 2 nights! Hurts too much to lay down!

But even if all I can do is sit in a chair, it will be freakin' awesome! It's so exciting to know when your shower is!
