Overwhelmed

I will be the first to admit that I did not want a baby shower.  I felt bad asking people to give me gifts for my baby when they had babies of their own.  After my shower on Saturday, I was completely humbled, amazed, and blessed by the generosity I felt and received.  I was so thankful for all of my friends who made the effort to be there, two drove two hours to come, one was more than 40 weeks pregnant herself.  It was fun to imagine what my daughter is going to look like in the baby clothes, put the sheets on the crib (don’t worry, I’ll wash them before she gets here and yes, we did finally get a crib), and find a place for all the different things she is going to need.  I was and still am overwhelmed with gratitude.
