Just Amazed!

It constantly amazes me how much people already love our little girl.  It's so completely touching and sweet that others care about her so much.

The first reminder of this was on Friday, when a package arrived from Heather of In This Storm.  We opened it up to find the most adorable little hamper for Baby A/Jota's room!  It's just awesome - it's pink and matches her decor, and there's a little mesh bag inside that I can take right down to the washer!  I can't believe that kind of generosity and thoughtfulness - thank you SO much, Heather!  :)

Our couples' shower was last night, and it was amazing.  Our friends, J & M, were just so generous and thoughtful.  I can't even go into how grateful we are for everything, and everything we got - we received so many wonderful gifts, and were so blessed to have such an amazing time.  It was so sweet to just be able to kick back and relax with our friends for an evening - and a couples' shower is perfect in that it took the spotlight off of just me, and included JTD!  :)  I will post pictures here of just a few of the highlights:


M got a cake made that perfectly matched the invitations, which were absolutely precious.


An adorable diaper cake - I can't even list everything on here!  There are sleeper gowns, washcloths, blankets, lotion and shampoo/conditioner, car seat toys, and more!

Quite possibly the cutest swimsuit I have ever seen in my whole life!  It'll fit baby girl perfectly next summer - it's so cute!

My friend, M, made up letters of all of her name to hang up in her room - she matched the colors to her bedding, and brought in our little ladybug theme!  :)

There were just so many other wonderful things - towels and blankets, outfits and books, bath toys and healthy/beauty items.  It was such a great time!
