Hello girls! I hope my post finds all well with everyone! As most of you know Saturday and Sunday were my baby showers this weekend, needless to say, I've been quite busy over the last 48 hours. We must have had about 40-50 people at each shower and feel VERY blessed with all the gifts we’ve received. I feel MORE than ready to have a baby now than ever before. I cannot believe how generous people are, especially our families.

Anyways, it would take me practically forever to mention every single item we received, but lets just say the next few weeks before the delivery of our LO will be spent writing thank-you notes. As for the loot - here is a basic list of the items we received from both showers.

Chicco travel system (from my parents)
A cherry colored 3 drawer dresser (from a bunch of ladies from my home church)
Playtex electric breast pump system (from my parents)
Graco highchair (from Daniel’s aunt & uncle/cousins
Fisher price smooth motion glider (from my dad’s cousins)
A booster high chair (connects to a regular chair)
A wide variety of soft stuffed bears (I just love the feel of them)
7 hand-made crocheted blankets (these are just beautiful!)
Plenty of baby blankets – in all sizes and textures!
J & J body wash/shampoo/lotion/powder (in the regular & bedtime kinds)
Tubes of diaper rash crème
3 large boxes of nursing pads
2 tubes of breast crème
Basket hamper with liner
3 baskets with liners for under my changing table
10+ pacifiers (different brands/styles)
A LOT of baby bottles/nipples (different brands/styles)
8 different CD’s with playtime songs/nursery rhymes/praise songs
A few “baby” picture frames (my aunt gave me a beautiful silver one)
4-5 packs of hooded towels
3-4 packs of washcloths
Baby snugli sling
6 snack containers w/lids & toddler snack trap
10+ receiving blankets
2 packs of burp clothes
7 packs of different sized onesies
Lots of different sized onesies (guessing at least 20 in the pile!)
Lots of different sized sleepers (guessing maybe 15 or more!)
Lots of baby books in all sizes (there are some really cute tiny ones!)
1 brown/pink colored diaper bag
Precious moments mother/baby figurine
1 Breathable mesh crib bumper
About 4-5 different colored crib sheets
1 crib mattress pad
10 baby caps in various colors
3 large packs of baby socks, along with various random ones..so cute!
Lots of teethers/ring/rattlers/infant chew toys
A tummy time play pad w/boppy for baby to lie on
A duckie that changes color in the bath tub
A blow up bath tub
A baby tub to wash infant-toddler in
A cute white piggy bank
A soft white car seat fleece (kozypottamus)
A double headrest for your car seat
Lots of baby bibs (some have real cute sayings!)
A healthcare kit (includes clippers, nasal aspirator, brush, thermometer, comb)
TONS of baby diapers (I feel VERY stocked up now!!)
TONS of baby wipes (I have a container in every color!!)
A car/baby high chair cover (for when you go out!)
A microwave bottle sterilizer
A rearview mirror for your car (to see the baby when its in the back)
A pack of safety latches for your cabinets
A box of bottle drop ins
2 window visor shades for your car
A bottle drying rack


Lastly, here are some pictures of both showers! The first pictures are of Saturday's shower - the second ones are of Sunday's shower. I am very tired…so I'm heading off to bed after posting this - what a weekend! I just spent about 2 hours with my mom in our basement tonight trying to organize everything into piles (I will have to post pictures of the stuff once I get those taken too!)
