i know it has been awhile since my last post... not that it is any excuse, but growing a baby is hard work! time has been flying by and i honestly didn't realize how behind i was on updating. here we go...
baby shower #1 - my sister kel and friend christie put together a sweet little shower for me in early february. it was fun to be surrounded by friends and a few family members and to open package after package of baby goodness. i loved celebrating with these people who i love and thankfully, kel and christie know me well enough to know i didn't want any crazy party games. instead there was a onsie decorating station and also a diaper decorating station. all i have to say is i am surrounded by some hilarious people.
baby shower #2 - my sister-in-law colleen and mother-in-law gathered family and family friends together in late february. this one was extra fun because steve was there with me. the spotlight wasn't completely on me and the nugget which put me at ease. it was good to be with people we don't see often enough and to know how excited everyone is about our addition to their clan.
baby kegger & diaper drive - steve really wanted to involve his friends somehow so he came up with the idea of doing a diaper party. we hosted an open house and provided snacks and loads of beer to many of our friends in exchange for their donation to our diaper stockpile. it was very successful! i think we're set for awhile. we also had some generous friends give us some additional goodies which was a nice twist.
surprise shower - last week i was surprised by my co-workers after a staff luncheon. i totally wasn't expecting anything so this was a really fun twist in my especially tiresome week. i am grateful to work with people who care about me.
to wrap things up.... the nugget scored some pretty serious loot and steve and i are blessed by our friends and family. can't wait for nugget to get here so we can put all this sweet new baby stuff to good use!
