So, I am finally getting around to posting about my baby showers. My first shower was the "big" shower that Whitney hosted on March 29. She did a lovely job and everyone raved (and still raves) about the food. My only disappointment is that I never got a picutre with the hostess herself! All of the presents were greatly appreciated and I went from feeling quite ill-prepared and inadequate in bringing the baby home to at least having clothes and diapers to put him in! Our little boy now has cute clothes, beautiful blankets, first aid kits, diapers, wipes, a stroller, carseat, and a cradle as well as some toys and books. We also have a crib and changing table but no room in our tiny one bedroom apartment! We have such a great support system here in Stillwater. That's what you get when you pretty much grew up here.
My department at work also hosted a little shower/luncheon today! Everyone pitched in and got us a really nice high chair for when he is older and my supervisor made us a beautiful knitted quilt. We also received some more clothes and a giant bottle filled with odds and ends that we will need as he gets older. Once again Carlin and I have been "showered" by the love of friends and family. I am so happy to know I am bringing this child into such a wonderful world with such wonderful people.
Here are some pictures from the shower Whitney hosted:

It was a fabulous shower if I do say so myself;);). I can't say I'm all that suprised that we didn't get a pic together-you know I avoid cameras like the plague. Speaking of photos, where in heavens name are all those skittles pictures everyone seemed to be taking:P?
I'm so glad they are taking good care of you out there, we're all excited for you out here.

You heard it here first, folks.
