The shower was just lovely and the hostesses left no detail unattended -- from the adorable invitations (thank you Ann Wade and Heidi!), to the sweet Mother Goose guest book, to the fantastic finger foods (who doesn't love mini shrimp and grits?! -- thank you, Allison!), to the awesome door wreath that we'll get to take to the hospital (I'm so impressed with Ellen for making this!).
We were overwhelmed with the generosity of our friends and family -- baby Jack now has his car seat, mattress, enough gift cards for us to get him his Pack N Play, outfits, blankets, a wooden Noah's ark, a Moby wrap, a photography session...the list goes on. Thank you, thank you, thank you, hostesses, family, and friends, for the love you showed the three of us on Saturday! We are even more excited and encouraged about all that is to come!

I'm SOOOO sad I missed your shower Johannah :( Sounds like you had a wonderful time and you look beautiful as ever. Can't wait to meet Jack! (Maybe he'll come early so we can meet him when we are back for Christmas :) Miss you, friend!
ReplyDeleteYou were very missed, Ellen! I LOVE the swaddle blankets you sent, though! I've made some progress already, so you may just get your wish! I can't wait to meet Harris! :) Miss you too!
