The ladies from our Sunday School class put on a baby shower for me and another first time mom-to-be, Catherine. Getting involved with this group at church is truly a blessing. Tim and I have made some wonderful friends and will be sad to leave them soon. It is alway sad to leave our church friends because we get so close to them and they become family to us.
The shower was so sweet. Everyone brought heavy hors d'oeuvres to snack on all night and an adorable cake. Since we don't know if we are having a boy or a girl yet they had the baker put Baby Palmer on the cake. Catherine is having a boy and they are naming him Christian.
It was so nice to have the love, support and prayers of these lovely ladies. Everyone that came to the shower had to draw a piece of paper that asked them to specifically pray for Catherine and I and our pregnancies. Some of the prayers were: comfortable pregnancy, easy delivery and the soon to be Daddy!
Catherine and I took turns opening gifts from everyone and had so much fun looking at the cutest baby stuff.
Baby Palmer made out with some great gifts! I came home and set it all out so Daddy could see the neat things we got.
Baby Palmer got a few pieces of clothing, including a set of onesies with numbers 1 thru 12 sewn on them for a monthly photo to follow his or her growth. I love this idea and am looking forward to documenting all of Baby Palmers achievements. We got our first box of diapers and wipes! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I plan on using cloth diapers but for long outings, over night and in the beginning disposable diapers will be our closest friend. A dear friend and my P'cola Mama, gave us the softest sweetest bear and a beautiful picture frame that will be great for holding a bath time picture. Those of you in my family that work in the medical field will like this next one, hanging on the left side of the picture is a scrub and stethoscope bib for those messy moments which leads to bath time with our ducky towel set and wash clothes. The rest include cute bear slippers, two sets of mesh nibblers, teether rings, nail clippers, a giraffe cloth rattle and last but not least Baby's First Bible.
To all my friends, thank you so much. I know Baby Palmer will love all the gifts and will put them to good use.
