Yesterday the ladies in the department surprised me with a baby shower - complete with cake and games and gifts. It was very sweet of them to do that. I don't know many of them very well, so I felt a tad undeserving at their generosity. But like my mom said, I'll be able to pay it forward in the future and give gifts when the next office baby arrives.
Just for fun, here's what we got:
- Hooded bath towel, washcloths, Aveeno baby shampoo
- Dishwasher caddy, 2 pk of Dr Brown's bottles, travel diaper pad
- Car seat protector, Brown Bear Brown Bear, really soft blanket
- Beanie baby, handmade fleece stroller blanket
- Swaddle blankets, baby sunglasses, activity mat
- $120 to Target, Jacques the Peacock, $20 at Walmart
I mean seriously! That's a lot of stuff! So I felt pretty blessed after all that. Baby Lucy getting lots of love.
I have a friend/family shower this Saturday. Rachel, Julia & Courtney are hosting. I hope they don't go to too much trouble! The guest list will likely only include my mom, CT's mom + 4 aunts + grandma, 2 of my friends and 2 more Boone friends.
I'm getting antsy to have the closet system for Lucy's room installed. We might try to pick up the paint after work & paint her room tonight & tomorrow. I would love to have it painted & put back together before the shower on Saturday. That way all these gifts we keep getting have someplace to go! My parents are planning on bringing down the dresser - which I am really excited about!
Coming up: painting the nursery, getting our taxes done (!), doctor's visit on friday, baby shower on saturday & my parents will be here
