I had two lovely showers this weekend and had another one a few weeks earlier.
They were all beautiful and I'm happy to say I managed to get through a pregnancy without one game involving guessing how big my belly is!
Now comes the after, loads of thank you cards and putting everything away.
I'm very happy to say that I didn't get that many repeats. I've heard horror stories of Target's gift registry and people getting 5 sets of things and having problems returning them. We only have 4 things that we got duplicates of and those are mostly small items.
Thank you to everyone who was involved with planning, putting together or coming to them!! Because I work with mostly men, my at work shower was half guys. Never seen so many men at a baby shower before. Nice to see them all get out of their comfort zone a bit :)
Just about everything is put away and organized and Jesse and I plan on taking this long weekend to do any returns, grab any last minute items we need, packing our hospital bag and putting the final touches on the nursery. (And he gets to install the car seat!!!)
One month to go now, and after this weekend, I'll be happy to say that I am 100% ready for him to arrive. And I'm actually getting excited about it now. I imagine kissing his little fat toes and fingers. I've been brushing up on my lullabies.
And if I swell any bigger I'm going to look like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man before he gets here!!!
