New Carpet and a Whole Lotta Gifts!

I had a great day today! It started off early with the carpet guy here to install our new carpet. I could cry because I have wanted new carpet in these rooms since we moved in. But we did the carpet in phases for budget and convenience purposes. So the last phase is finally complete. I LOVE IT!

Then my mom and sister threw me a baby shower. It was so much fun! I know that showers aren't that fun to go to, but they sure are fun when they are thrown for you! I got lots of great stuff!
Here is my cute sister Sara. She is moving to California in 2 days. I am so sad to see her go, but I know it is a great opportunity for her and something she has always wanted to do. Thanks sister for the great shower. Here is my Mom and Grandma. My Mom made the most wonderful array of delicious food. I just wanted to keep eating! Thanks Mom for all of your hard work! My nearly 80 year old Grandma made this beautiful quilt in a matter of a week. She found out about my shower right around Christmas time and managed to work her tail off to get this blanket done in time for my shower. She always made a baby blanket for all her grandchildren, and she continues the tradition with her great grand children. Thanks Grandma for all your hard work! He will love his little teddy blanket.

The beautiful blanket my Aunt Jan made. It has the cutest fabric!
My Sister got me this bib since I had to miss out on Sushi (my favorite food) my whole pregnancy. Now I can remind my son of the sacrifices I made!

It is amazing how valuable that stuff all is when the baby comes, you just can't imagine how much you need it all until you are actually using it frantically every minute of the day!

I have to admit I HATE that picture of me...it's like I'm squinting my eyes in broad daylight. You are very welcome for the shower sister, I couldn't have been happier to throw it for you. And remember I am just going on a really long vacation. :) I love you
