**picture overload**
I don't even know where to start or what to say.
Chris and I are so blessed!
We have amazing families and friends that are all so good to us.
*****
First, my boss and her mom put on a baby shower/brunch for me a couple of weeks ago.
I've been waiting to post about it until she sent me pictures.
(I still don't have any pictures, other than the two I took with my phone, but will hopefully soon)
I have been with this family for almost 6 years!?
They are all so good to me and make me feel like one of the family.
I love being an adopted member of the Henry/Hunter Family.
I can't wait to see the Henry kids interact with my baby.

This weekend Mary Ann, Kristen, and Candice held another shower for us. It was suppose to be last week but due to the snow storm, we figured it was best to rescheduled.
I am overwhelmed by everyones generosity and time that was put into making this a special time for us, and helping us be more prepared.
I haven't been very emotional during this pregnancy...
but for some reason yesterday I could not hold it together.
We received many thoughtful gifts, and it must have been too much for me in one day :)
Here is where I lost it the fist time...
I had to use the book to cover my face.
I LOVE it Brooke!
The second time...
My sister Misty had her 3 kids choose their favorite book from when they were little and write a little message inside for their new cousin. They each made a tie-dye onsie for him as well :)
Carter: Bark George
He said: "From your favorite cousin Carter"
Joelle:Get me out of the Bath Tub
She said: "My favorite song is Stinky Stinky Diaper Change"
Brooklyn: Olivia
She said: "I loved this book when I was little, and I think you will too."
For some reason reading what Brooklyn wrote brought me to tears.
I guess having her "talk" to my baby was too much for me to handle.
And third...
I knew my mom was making this quilt...
but when I read the note she included, I became a hot mess again.
I'm such a ball bag!
Grandma Polly also made new bedding for the moses basket.
It's so so soft and looks so comfy!
Hopefully he'll be so comfy sleeping in it, he wont want to wake up in the night. HA!
There was a craft table set up for the guests to make bibs, and write little sayings on diapers.
I love the idea!
Chris and I promised we wont read what is written on the diapers until they are being used.
Hopefully reading them in the middle of the night will give us the extra boost our tired bodies will need!
I chose 3 at random just for documenting purposes :)
"Sniff Sniff
o crap
man down
man down"
"He who smelt it dealt it!"
"LOOK OUT BELOW!!"
We are so so thankful for all that everyone has done for us.
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
