Here are some pictures of the baby shower my Mom and my sisters threw for me at the end of March. About thirty aunts, cousins, nieces, and nephews came from out of town to help us welcome our baby - and what a welcome he received! It sounds like a cliche, I guess, but really - how can one little person need so much STUFF? We have clothes and diapers and shampoos and lotions and blankets and bottles...well, I don't need to go on. All of this in addition to the shower the girls at work had for us AND the shower my friend Danielle threw for us at church, you would think we will never need another diaper or wipe...but alas, I know that won't be true!
I have been laughing at myself lately as a I catch myself performing trivial tasks in an effort to be ready for the arrival of this little one. Must sterilize bottles! Must wash ALL clothes! Must pack a bag and sit it with the car seat RIGHT next to the door...Okay, go ahead and laugh at me, you seasoned mothers. Then scroll right down to the bottom of this post and click on "Add Comment" so you can tell me how to really be ready! Actually, I really am aware that no matter how organized the closet is, or how cute the nursery looks, or how many diapers I have stocked up; I will never truly be ready for this bundle of joy to arrive into our lives. But it is lots of fun trying!

Kim, You look absolutely radiant! And don't worry, God will show you just what to do when the new little guy arrives. :-). love you and miss you, Patti
Kimi, your blog is sooo neat! i love all of your pictures... i can't wait till it's full of pictures of the little guy!! the only piece of advice for you at the moment is baby proof that huge house of yours before he gets here so there's one less thing for you to do after he's born! ...and because those stupid cupboard locks take a few months to get used to!!! lol anyway, you and Phil will be great parents! and Shelby will be the best big sister!! :) Love,Tiff
The only advice I can give is sleep, sleep, sleep. When your little man arrives, you will know why....I am so excited for you both. I know that the two of you will be awesome parents!

Your blog is terrific! The decision will be ...Hm-m-m-m the baby is asleep....do I blog or do I sleep??? We will accept miniblogs with pictures...LOL
