Baby Shower

Sweet girl, you are already very loved and blessed! Yesterday I had my baby shower and I was overwhelmed by the generosity of my friends and family! It’s not very typical to have a baby shower for a second child - especially when the second child is the same gender as the first. So I was surprised when my friends wanted to throw me a shower and really grateful for the sweet gesture! We had a good time and I felt very special. 

One year ago I was in the middle of losing babies and begging God to give me a healthy pregnancy. I was heartbroken and discouraged but I did not stop asking God for a baby. I am still so thankful that God chose to give me YOU. You are a miracle that should be celebrated!

Here is a quick list of who came to the shower and what they gave you (and me). :)

Aunt Jess - zebra patterned swaddle blanket, hand sanitizer for my diaper bag, coffee (definitely for me!), and a pink and gray zig zag changing pad cover that she made, which is super cute!

Katrina N. - baby wipes, rash cream, a cute flowered headband, and a soft little doll

Grams - a bookshelf organizer with pink baskets

Miss Kathy - two cute footed sleepers (one says “little sister”), a nursing tank top for me, and diapers

Elizabeth F. - diapers, wipes, bows, and hairclips

Tracy H. - nursing things for me  :)

Jade P. - hair barrettes, a soft little cuddle blanket, and a pretty gold sweater dress

Mindy L. - a gift card that I will use to buy a baby carrier

Lyndsie D. - a gift card to Gap

Nana - fancy socks, an outfit with jeggings to match Ralee’s, a princess toy rattle, and matching Christmas dresses for you and Penny

Libby W. - cute zig zag and elephant burp cloths and blankets that she made, diapers, and diaper sacks (for dirty diapers)

Sara D. & Kate C. - cute little newborn hats (one is pink polka dots with a bow!), bibs, an elephant teething toy, and a pink changing pad cover

Colleen M. - hooded towels, socks, bibs, and bodysuits

Great Grandma Dorothy - headbands with flowers and a cute ivory and gray outfit with a fuzzy hooded jacket

Aunt Kristi - a soft and adorable “rag quilt” that she made. Penny loves it and will be sad to give it to you once you arrive.

Aunt Jenn - a tiny bracelet, a fancy headband with a flower, a little hat, and a crib mobile

Laurie L. - a cute little outfit, wipes, and diapers

Sarah J. - a little denim ruffle dress with some headbands

Rebecca L. - baby body wash and lotion, nursing gel pads

Joy B. - little pants and an accessories kit (sunglasses, barrettes, headbands)

Laurie W. - bodysuit with a bunny on it and a matching snuggle blanket

Ai B. - an pink and black ruffle outfit from Japan, fancy socks, and a sleep sheep (a stuffed sheep that can play soothing noises to help you fall asleep)

Aren’t you a fortunate little girl? All of this before you are even born! I’m so thankful for sweet and generous friends and can’t wait until you are here and they can all meet and hold you!  One month to go!
