Babies Shower

A baby shower was thrown for us at our church this past weekend. Everything was very lovely and we got so many nice things. We both went so Sarah could follow doctors' orders by staying in the recliner the whole time, without the strain of having to lift and open the gifts.

We only had a short time to attend, so we showed up 30 minutes late so everyone could get their food and get settled. Once we got there we got right down to business.

We received many very important items from our registry, from a breast pump to bedding to a mattress to diapers to a Florida Gators hat and socks.

We also got many very nice outfits and toys for the twins.

Additionally, we were given several homemade quilts and blankets. We know these items took a lot of time and effort and we are very grateful.

I wanted to wait to post until I got the nursery together and could show everything off in its proper environment. However, after working all weekend, it's still not ready, so that will come later. In the meantime, thanks again to everyone who came to the shower, and especially to those who threw the shower. We are so grateful for your hard work and for all the time you spent.

We also were brought a home-cooked meal today, which was fantastic. We've been living off of a lot of eggs, pizza, and cereal. While we like having those things for dinner, it was a very welcome change to have something different. These kind souls also helped out with some cleaning, and provided some company for Sarah, which is always welcomed (it gets pretty old sitting around the house all day). Thanks so much.

So where's the latest belly shot? We don't get to see you, can we at least see your belly? LOL!
