cirque du bebe

Today my work threw a wonderful baby shower for my husband and I, plus another employee named Victor whose wife Tracy is due in two weeks.  It was really great and they gave us so much stuff!  I really didn’t expect that at all. 

We received 4 blankets, a diaper stacker, a rattle shaped like an elephant and a huge gift card to Babies R Us.  I love the diaper stacker.  I had started making one but never finished sewing it.  Now I don’t have to!

The baby shower was this past weekend and it was a lovely event.  I really appreciate everyone coming out to Reston to make the day special for my husband and I.

As soon as I have the time to crop all of the pictures, I will be putting them up in the photo section.

Thanks to everyone for the wonderful gifts (both those who could and those who could not attend) !

Well our dining room is full of boxes delivered for the shower from those who couldn’t make and those who are coming in from far away.

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday and having a relaxing time with friends and family!

We ordered the crib from Great Beginnings back in early March. They said it would take 10-12 weeks to deliver so keep you’re fingers crossed that the lil’ monkey doesn’t come early!

When we originally moved into the house, the baby room was periwinkle so we painted it right away to “pale almond”. I’ve done some stenciling of bubbles on the wall in blue, green and brown. I’ve posted a picture of it in the photos section under “Baby Room”.

As for the mommy preparing for the baby, I’ve been reading my baby books over and over again. It seems I just can’t retain the massive amounts of information. Hopefully, seeing “it” in the childbirth class will “make it stick”.
