I just have to say...

wow.
and
thank you.

I am amazed at the love and generosity we have been shown.This has been a strange year. A weird time to be pregnant. I am in awe at the many people around us and all that we have been given as we prepare for our little one. Gifts have come from near and far.
Last Saturday between 12 and 2 Derek was taking his last national boards test. I was being spoiled rotten. My family through us the most beautiful baby shower. He an I were spinning on different planets.
I can't even express the feelings I have. So thankful for the many wonderful and adorable things to surround our little girl. The thoughtful notes and letters that came with the gifts and all the love that has been shown to our little family.
But most of all I am so thankful for those who love us and share in our joy and excitement. For the many, MANY people who have been our support. I can't dismiss the beautiful shower we were given in Oregon before we left. The wonderful women who were my family there and how much I love and miss them.

All I can say is thank you.

On a side note...
I am nesting like a crazy bird.
I can't get my house clean enough. I am arranging and rearranging the babies closet. packing and repacking the hospital bag. It is a sickness really. I did muster the energy to make this yesterday- which is the first craft project I have tackled (and completed) since who knows when.
Have you heard the term P.I.G.S.???
It stands for Projects In Grocery Sacks. and I have a lot of 'em.
I do, however, now have one less.

Your seat cover is so adorable, love all the random buttons! So Char. You are a crazy talented, creative woman.

A few things:

this little one is one lucky girl to have such an amazing Momma and to come to such a loving family. It brings tears to my eyes.

I am so sad I wasn't at your shower. It just does not seem right. You look gorgeous in the picture, prego looks good on you. Look at your long lush hair!

Will we ever live close again? Just that thought also brings tears to my eyes. I am supposed to come to the hospital to take pictures. I am supposed to make meals, come visit and ooohh and awww over her just as you did with mine.

I love you. I miss you.

Your car seat cover is gorgeous! I love the simplicity of the black and white pattern. It's beautiful!

I'm so glad you're being spoiled right now - you deserve it!

I adore the carseat cover and the buttons are a little piece of eye candy. I love it. I haven't heard the term PIGS but I sure have a lot of those too! I think it comes with the territory of being a Mom. Glad you had a great shower.
