I can't believe how much baby stuff we received - onesies, baby monitor, bouncer, stroller, pack and play... It was so much fun opening all of those cute gifts. Everybody was asked to bring a book for us as well, and we ended up with quite a library. I can't wait to read through all of them with JackHannah (probably more times than I'll be able to count!).
I could go on and on about all of the wonderful gifts we received, but I'll mention just a couple - Jason's mom paints very cute baby onesies for friends, so she painted one for us, too, with pink hearts! Can't tell what she's hoping for :-) We also received the cradle that my grandpa made for me when I was a baby, and good friends Penny and Tiffany made bedding specially for it. What a special surprise! It's just beautiful.
As an added bonus to the trip, I got to have a little girls' weekend with my good friends Sara and Jill, and Jill's daughter Claire. They all came over to the shower with me from Grand Rapids. Since they had never been to 'Muth before, we made a day (and night!) of it, and played tourist after the shower. I was so happy that Jaime, my best friend from college, was able to join us as well. We had a great time exploring Bronners (I think Claire was particularly overloaded with all of the lights!) and eating a family style chicken dinner at Zehnders. We had fun, but we were all beat by the end of the night!
One shower down and one more to go - next weekend is the Davis' (Ocedek) side baby shower. We are truly blessed with such generous, loving families!
