Baby Shower

This past Saturday was our baby shower and it went wonderful! I was so happy to see old friends that I hadn't seen in ages and family that I don't get to see often enough either. So many people helped out in more ways that I would have ever imagined. We were definitely "showered" with tons of gifts. This is a very lucky baby boy we have on the way!

Now comes the fun part of washing up the rest of the outfits, blankets, bedding etc. and putting everything away. we are still waiting on the furniture which should be here no later than next week. Once it is here, we will have drawers to put things in and hopefully become a little more organized. I must go through and figure out what we still NEED vs WANT. Just realized today, we have a crib coming and no crib mattress. hahahah hysterical!

It is still "weird" to us to make room for this baby. I know that sounds funny, but just little things like moving furniture around to make room for a playpen, or moving dishes around to make room for baby bottles. I guess it is the little things that take the most getting used to.

It was pointed out to me at the shower, no matter how often (or not!) I blog, I had not mentioned the baby's name. I always referred to him as Baby Currie....So, for those of you that do not know....his name is Alexander Paul Currie. Don't ask how we came up with that but we did and mutually agreed upon and it stuck. Paul is after Eric's uncle who meant a lot to him, that also passed away when Eric was young. We will call him Alexander, I am sure people will shorten it and it will just be our job to correct them :-) Yes, the child will hate us in pre-K and kindergarten when he must write his 9 lettered name!

Neway, we took lots of cute pics at the shower and hopefully Toni will download them off her camera so I can post them! Note to self--get our camera working before the baby comes--I am tired of relying on others for pictures that are taken!

More later--
