Another Shower!!! Wow!!

Tonight, T and I had a surprise baby shower thrown by the Omaha crew (Cindy, Kathy & Marge). They had a party last weekend, had everyone bring their presents unwrapped, photographed the ladies who then wrote notes to us and the baby, put together a book as if we were there, they all wrapped the gifts then we received everything today in 5 boxes- the UPS guy was funny- backed in so he wouldn't have to make as long of trips to our door.

Everything is so overwhelming- so freakin' cute!!!! We got tons of well wishes and the memory book was great! Cindy also sent along some cookies and taffy, yummy! Giftwise, we got onesies, blankets, pacifiers, robes, stuffed animals (one that plays sounds like rain/whales/heartbeat in utero!!!), socks, bibs, bath stuff, books, washcloths, a nightlight, rubber duckies, a cart coozie!, crib skirt, crib sheet, more blankets (love them!!), larger clothes/outfits for later on (which is great, we have tons of 0-3 mo now), gift cards/coupons and texture toys.... and more I'm sure I'm forgetting things.

Thanks to all of the Omaha ladies for your gracious gifts, we're having a blast going through it all!

We also got a really cool surprise from China- T's brother and his family (Jeff, Celine, Chloe & Jeremy) sent us a Tripp Trapp chair! This is so cool! he can totally grow into it and lasts forever. Thanks guys and Happy Birthday Chloe!!!

We had a great dinner with some friends we hadn't seen in about a year, opened gifts and read cards and now I'm off to write some thank you notes.
