Our Christmas Present

I didn't know that "waiting" until Christmas would turn me into a child. I couldn't sleep all night Christmas Eve knowing that we would find out whether our baby was a boy or girl. Ken teased me about it since I was the one that didn't want to know until the baby was born. So, finally, at 5:45, I couldn't wait any longer. Ken and I opened our presents to one another and then, after 2 months of storing our news in an envelope, opened it.

Ken gave a huge fist pump to be the father of a boy. I'm pretty excited, too, because I've had some panic attacks lately about raising a teenage girl!

Then, I got the surprise that Baby Boy Lawrance's daddy has been shopping. He was prepared with both boy and girl clothes- just in case. The one on the right has an adorable 5 baseball patch on the backside. I can just picture him with a pudgy diaper butt with the baseball on it next summer. Of course, he has to have a shark outfit to prepare to join this SCUBA family and his first Mommy outfit.

My Favorite Things

On December 5, my sister-in-law Megan and three dear friends, April, Jenn and Margaret threw our "Little One" a wonderful baby shower. They chose the theme "Favorite Things". The first thing that they did was ask the guests to share their favorite child/baby memory, baby product, or words of wisdom. It was so neat to have everyone stand up and share. The second surprise was that our game was the Price is Right. I FINALLY got to come on down! It was really good that I didn't get on the real show because baby products are a whole lot more expensive than I knew- especially diapers and formula. The menu was Kristy's favorite foods including cupcakes made in ice cream cones, punch with raspberries, and NO CHOCOLATE.

It was a wonderful experience- thank you ladies!!
