An amazing friend, Amy, had a baby shower for me this past Saturday. Friends from church, family and various other friends came and seemed to have a great time eating appetizers and visiting. In the spirit of trying to help us find a name for this baby (which is still up in the air), Amy created a game about celebrity kids' names. Being a People magazine addict, I did rather well but Paula (sister-in-law) took home the prize...she must have a secret obsession?? Unfortunately the knowledge of children out there with the names, "Moxie Crimefighter," "Pilot Inspektor," and the infamous, "Blanket" does not really help us with the choosing of a name...Eric didn't really go for them... :)
It is always overwhelming for me to open presents in front of people, but we received soooo many things we needed and I'm now ready to go and have this kid! We have anything we could ever need or want and I SO appreciate the love that was shown. While I DID NOT tear up (yeah me!), there were moments I am so glad the hormones weren't kicking any stronger...
I sometimes forget how much I really have to be thankful for. I am thankful for the friends that cwere supportive, my family who came to be with me and of course, for Amy, our "fearless host." Love ya Amy!

How awesome to have a baby shower! I never thought about it that you must have gotten rid of all your baby things. What a blessing that others did this for you. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
You're not kidding on the blessing part! We had NOTHING and several families in church have come out of the woodwork with the "big" baby things since they are done having kids and wanted to get rid of stuff...worked out for both of us!
