About a week and a half ago now, I had my one and only baby shower. My family came into town for the special occasion. I had two of my close friend offer to throw me a shower, and my sister helped. She did what she could with living out of state. One of my co-worker/friend who I actually went to college with at IWU, is starting up her own business. Its called Frilly Milly Events, so with her help it was a great success. She came up with a great idea for the invitations, and the theme went along with everything else that day. It was a Nautical theme, I even purchase a navy blue dress to go along with it. It was a great idea, I loved how we were celebrating a baby shower in an adult way.
The day was great, we had so many friends and family come and those that couldn't let us know they were thinking about us. Weston got so many new toys, books, clothing items, and other items I am sure he thinks he won't need but we know we will. Like burping cloths, bibs, bottles, and diapers. It was so overwhelming at times, to think one little person is going to need all of these items. I picked one of the smallest rooms in the house for the baby room, when I came home and started to take an inventory on items I started to think maybe we should change that plan. Since the shower though, Brandon along with help from my Dad (while he was in town for the shower) worked on painting the babies room. It is now finished. This weekend I hope to get some of the things put away. I will take some pictures soon. I love the way the walls have turned out.
We thank all those who have shown their love and support. Only a couple more weeks now, and everything we have been trying to prepare for will be here. Hopefully we will fill a little more prepared, but I don't know if we will. We are entering a new phase in our lives, one that we are happy to be given but scared at the unknown.
