"Shower" Just Doesn't Capture It

Last week, the Barbers, my mom and my sister organized a Baby Shower of epic porportions. It was SO much fun, and everyone was so unbelievably generous....Baby Michael is very well stocked up on all the essentials!!

I got to ride up with my sister, which was great to spend that time together, and we picked up my Grandma on the way to the Barbers' house, and spending that time with her was awesome too.

Walking in, we were greated with smiling faces from the Barbers and from my mom, and from the moment we stepped in and saw a huge baby bottle full of blue M & Ms, it was non-stop good eats!

There were so many delicious snacks...scones, petit-fours, chocolate-chocolate cookies, chocolate covered strawberries, home roasted turkey and roast beef, sausages, veggies, cake, salads, buffalo wings...it was unbelievable!! As my aunt Annie said, this is a Baby Shower where you can eat your fill! Not just dabble with a few cookies and leave hungry!!

And the abundance didn't end with the food, but also with the gifts for little Michael! There is too much to enumerate them all here, but Michael will be very well dressed, he'll have sweet sleeping arrangements, he'll be cleaned because of his array of bath products, he'll have plenty of comfy, soft, and special blankets and stuffed animals, he'll be rolling in style in his new car-seat and stroller set, and he'll be decked out for his first Dodger games, and he'll have plenty of diapers, wipes and grooming items (although, he'll be sure to prove to us that "plenty" of diapers will still not be enough for a baby!).

It was so much fun!! I feel bad because I started to get some annoying contractions, which prompted me to have to take my medicine, which then led me to feel a little jumpy and strung out. But I enjoyed listening to everyone talk and share and enjoyed just being with everyone.

I cannot thank everyone enough for such a fun day!! It truly was the best!!

Love,

Kim and Baby Michael.
