Baby Shower #2

This past Saturday I had my second baby shower, which was given by Nick's aunts Margaret and Donna, Nick's sister Melanie, Nick's cousin Lori and her daughter Kylee, and my girlfriends Annie, Erica Stefany and Kristin. It was so wonderful! There was so much delicious food, fun games, and tons of presents. I never dreamed I'd recieve so many gifts for Waylon! It was really nice and it was great to visit with everyone. Afterward, some of the girls came back home with me and helped me to unpack and organize all of the gifts, which was a huge help. It is getting increasingly harder for me to physically do things, so having the help putting all of the gifts away was incredibly wonderful. By the end of the weekend, all of the new things that need to be washed were put into bags for Nick's mom to wash [which she so graciously volunteered to do!], the bedding was put on the crib, and things were organized and put away.

It's so much fun to go into Waylon's room and see it all ready for him to come home. We like being in his room and so does the dog. She goes in there and sniffs around at all of the new things. I've started wearing baby lotion so that the dog smells it on me and will recognize it as a familiar/friendly scent by the time we bring baby home. Based on how she has been with our friends babies, I think she is going to make a great 'big sister'.
