My baby shower happened on Saturday. And it went very well. The lady who threw it for me did a great job, she held it at her house. She and another woman provided the food and they also bought two cakes! Turned out we only needed one so they sent the second cake home with me. 22 people showed up for the shower, which was awesome!! Lots of cute clothes and only a few repeats which was fine because I will use them. I got two changing pads and I plan to keep one of them at my parent's house. It will make it easier when it comes to visiting with the baby, plus it means that my siblings will have someplace to change their babies when they come over to visit my parents as well.
It was good to see everyone, I was pretty happy about all of it and happy that I got to visit with people. The presents were awesome too, but seeing everyone was even better!
My mom and I traveled together so after the shower we drove back to Rochelle with my car stuffed with baby gifts. On the way home we stopped by a Salvation Army and I found a brand new carseat with stroller included. I say brand new because the thing was still in the box with the plastic wrap still on everything. I got the thing for $75, when I got home I looked it up and discovered that it usually sells for $175 brand new. Sweet!!
On Sunday my grandparents came over for an early Thanksgiving, my grandmother brought two bags full of clothes for the baby. All baby boy clothes. Then today I came into work and one of my co-workers had brought in a bag of baby boy clothes from her daughter who is cleaning out her closets. Yay for baby clothes!!
Over all I think we have a pretty good start with everything, there are still a few things I want to get before the baby comes, things like a crib, and a portable changing pad, and a diaper bag. But over all we have most of the stuff that I think we will need. Crazy thing is that my work is planning a baby shower for me here in November! They want Kevin to come which I think will be lots of fun for him. Yay for people who care!
