First baby shower was a huge sucess!

Well, I am back and in one piece. :)

The shower was wonderful! It really goes without saying that the food was simply delicious and of course there was waaaay too much of it but it was so nice. Tina worked so hard to make this a special occasion and it was just that, very special. I received so many nice things from the shower that I couldn't even begin to make note of all of them. Some of my favorites were the crocheted set from Tina, the littlest Cincy Red's outfit, a teddy bear that sounds like the womb to sooth the baby and the Fisherprice rainforest sights and sounds you put in the crib. I have already washed and folded all the clothes, towels, blankets and bibs and we put together the changing table so everything can be put away and made ready for the babies arrival. The room is starting to look like all its missing is the baby. I sat in the room last evening with the lights turned out and the rainforest lullaby playing with the lights moving and just looked around the room wondering what the sweet little baby will think of everything. It is so hard for me to imagine but in a matter of weeks, there will be a little tiny baby sleeping in the crib that now holds items for which I can't find the space to store right now. I am getting really excited and anxious. We don't have a single diaper in the house yet and for some reason that makes me nervous and makes me feel like there are still so many things left to do to prepare for babies arrival home. Luckily, with everyone's generosity from the shower, we will be able to buy plenty of diapers with all the gift cards we received! I will try to post some pics of the babies room and the first Baby Eckert shower soon. What a wonderful celebration we had thanks to Tina and Tessa!
