On Saturday we had our very own baby shower. The day started out with me walking around the nursery, just walking around thinking I was finally going to have a baby shower - something I thought would never happen (and of course I started crying again - but John was happy it was a good crying). I had a blast! It was a great time with good friends and family. We got a lot of great things that we and the baby can enjoy for years!!! We were surprised to see some of our friends and family that traveled from long distances and really thank EVERYONE who could make it and enjoy this special day with us. (I say us because technically John was there - although he and some other guys had been "banished" to the back of the room) :-) Again, we want to thank everyone who attended, who were there in spirit, and thank everyone for their awesome gifts and sentiments!! Also, a special thank you to Amy & Tara, who did an AWESOME job and couldn't have done a better job - it was perfect! It truly was a special day for us, enjoying a day that we never thought would happen, but are extremely grateful we are getting a chance to experience.
