Baby Showers!

Thought I would post my post from facebook as a quick update for now...

What a weekend! We waited a long time for the time that we'd have our own baby showers and this weekend was it! Friday night was the Man Shower, all the guys got together brought some diapers and played some poker, $5 a game. I hear it was a lot of fun! I do know that there were some still up until 7am lol. Poor Dave came home and we had him running running for the Ladies Baby Shower(poor guy hehe).
The laides shower was fabulous!! Sooo many people showed up to celebrate our blessing with us. The games were a lot of fun, the diapers with the different chocolate bars - it was funny watching the ladies sniffing the diapers, and the diapers looked so gross hehe. The toilet paper roll... to measure my tummy... that was just funny. There were many other games as well. We served some really yummy food and the cake was gourgeous (thanx to Sam)!! 3 different flavours, complete with little babies and their umbrella's and rainbows... wow!! We even had a watermellon cut in the shape of a baby carriage - it was a fruit bowl (thanx Brandi), so cute!! I can't wait until I see the pictures! You girls went all out!After all the gifts and diapers we rec'd we have been left just waiting now until the time I give birth to the baby. The Gifts we rec'd were all WONDERFUL, and we are still shocked with how much we rec'd from everyone... we cannot thank everyone enough for sharing this special event with us and for the wonderful gifts for the Wee One.
Dan, thankyou for putting together the Poker Man Shower for David, he had a lot of fun and we got a lot of diapers and baby wipes, our hall closet is FULL. Thanx to all the guys for coming out and joining in on the fun.
Samantha, thankyou for hobbling around in pain all day for us and putting all the effort into making the shower run smoothly. The cake was absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to get some pictures so I can put together a photo album of the day that was full of many great memories. I think everyone had fun with all the games and events of the day. Thanx for keeping yourself busy all week with preparing for hosting the guys party at your house and then the one at the common unit here.
Brandi the food was wonderful, thankyou very much for putting it all together and making it look so pretty and taste so yummy!! I am enjoying the left overs hehe. Thanx for helping with decorating/cleaning up!
Maddy - even though you're not on Facebook I hope your mum sends along my gratitude for all your help. Without you asking what you could do next, it wouldn't have gone as smoothly, we appreciate everything you've done!!
There were others who gave a hand when we were running behind and at the end of the shower with cleanup, thanx to all of you as well.
My shower was better than I would have ever thought it would be. I can't even express the emotions I felt all day and how moved andn loved David and I feel after the last two days. It was the nicest weekend anyone could have ever given us, we are so happy to have such great friends and family around us during such a joyous time in our lives. The day was very special and I truly appreciate everything from the bottom of my heart. I can't wait until the next step, which is bringing The Wee One into the world. Now that I'm all teary eyed again (Yes Sam I cry a lot LOL, I have every right after such a wonderful weekend hehehe, plus hormones hehe). Some people wanted to know how many bibs, wash cloths and diapers we rec'd... here's the stats LOL...
Baby Wash Cloths - 30
Baby Bibs - 29
Diapers - 788 (LOL, yes we used a calculator for that one hehe).

Off I go for now...
