Two exclusive items Henry has received! They share a cozy spot on a shelf out of harm’s way.
A silver spoon with baseball detail from Tiffany & Co.
A music box from Reed & Barton in the shape of a tortoise that plays Brahm’s Lullaby.
Last week was Amanda’s final week of watching Henry. We were sad to see her go. She took great care of the little man, and us as well. It was so awesome to be able to finish up getting ready in the morning as she took care of Henry. We’ll miss you, Amanda!!
Along with the hat and little socks she got him, she also gave us this parting gift.
How adorable!! The two outfits on the right have bugs on them, my favorite! And the one on the left is terrycloth, which she got especially for him to sop up his daily drool. 🙂
A fabulous Henry gift from Larry and Hiroe!!!!
Yum!!
The folks at work threw me a very surprise shower the other day at work! How fabulous! I was so very surprised.
There was a whole spread of home-made desserts, including brownies, cookies, and rice crispy treats, plus other store-bought yummies, including cheesecake and donuts. I was in heaven.
The diaper cake was an enormous diaper cake and each diaper was individually hand-tied. 🙂 Wow! It was adorned with cute pacifiers and rattles and topped with the most adorable stuffed frog. I may claim him for myself.
The girls who threw the party put on a game of Baby Family Feud. Every time a team won a round, they got a gift card, which they promptly gave to me! We have restaurant gift cards to keep us in food for weeks after the baby comes! How thoughtful!!
We also got a few outfits for the baby and a very soft, very snuggly blanket.
It was such a nice event, and I loved being so surprised with it. Hooray!
Did I mention that there were gifts? Oh my lordy, was there a pile of gifts!! I had originally thought that we wouldn’t do gift-opening, but I’m glad we did. It was fun!
I hesitate to put pictures up of gifts, because I don’t want anyone to feel slighted. However, there are some really cute gifts we received! Please know that if you gave us a gift, we love it and are very touched by your thoughtfulness. But onesies make better blog pics than crib sheets. There are also 184 photos of me opening gifts, so I’ll see if I can keep it reasonable. 🙂

Gifts have started to arrive for our upcoming baby shower!
Some of this stuff arrived courtesy of Monica.
Should we unpack them or leave them in the boxes? I’m not sure.
It looks like we also got our Hooter Hider, which was delivered last week, but I haven’t opened it yet.
And Dave’s mom sent us the Fisher-Price Rainforest Open-Top Cradle Swing. Dave’s already put it together and it’s awesome!
A picture for my Albita of a hat she gave me.
Quite possibly this…
Dave had this custom t-shirt made for me, using the catchy Nike Witness ad campaign and my blog address! I love him so much!! Plus, the book of sci-fi baby names, which roxor hardcore!
