Successful Weekend!

I had such a great weekend, although it was so tiring!

Saturday was my surprise baby shower. Although I'm not sure how much of a surprise it really was since I knew so much about it - minus the date and time. haha. Casey and I got so many amazingly thoughtful (and useful!) gifts for Haley. I can not thank every one who helped out with the planning and the day itself for everything that they did for us. Casey and I are so grateful to have such wonderful family members.

Some of the things we got included, a jumper, highchair, mattress, lots and lots of clothes!, a bookshelf full of books. Once we started getting things organized, I plopped myself on the floor next to the bookcase and started checking out the books. Everyone was supposed to write a note inside for Haley. I was reading all the different notes to Casey and there we sat, crying. We bought a couple of books ourselves afterwards to add to the collection immediately and wrote notes ourselves. So of course, we were crying at those too! Finally Casey said, "I think we need to get used to the fact that we are having a daughter otherwise we are never going to stop crying." It was sweet.

Sunday was a day of cleaning and organizing, etc. We returned some items and got a whole bunch of other stuff. It was so much fun shopping for her! Once all the bedding was washed and put into the crib, I'm pretty sure I stood there for quite some time just staring at it. I can't believe how soon she'll be here.

I'm so grateful for everything we got this weekend. =]
