Showers of Blessing!















I had a wonderful shower last weekend at church. Connie, the sweetest lady, pretty much did the whole sha-bang solo and she had just every little detail planned out. It was perfect! She set up a beautiful display of invitations in the church foyer several weeks before hand. I am sad I did not think to take a picture of it. She had on the invitations for everyone to bring a framed photo of themselves from childhood. Every single one that came in, she then tagged it with a typed little riddle of clues so everyone could play a guessing game of "who's who"? At the shower she had round tables beautiful sached with all the frames. The food table was outstanding and beautifully decorated as well. Meme, Mom, Me, and Kamri all had our baby pics there too... 4 generations God blesses us with together!

The church put gifts in a big pink toy bucket, and gave me a gift card!!! And many other gifts were brought for little Kaci Grace and even some for big Sister, Kamri! That has really been a big help in getting prepared too!

Super Sibling-Kamri!!!













Super Sibling class was wonderful! Kamri was so cute... she will be a great helper when baby sister comes. She swaddled the baby doll, held her perfectly and did not let go. Pat and I were so proud of her as we watched her listen so intently to the teacher/nurse. They talked about all kinds of helpful things, like: what babies can/can't chew on, keeping their toys picked up for safety, changing diapers, rocking... etc. They also had a Super Silly Sibling video that talked about emotions. I thought it was very informative and hopefully some of the ways to deal with jealousy, sadness, etc. will come back to all of us when needed. We then took a tour of the hospital... where mommy's room will be, the nursery, and the hand soap sanitizer hanging on the wall. The nurse held up one of the babies for us to see through the window- very exciting!

I have been trying to prepare K as best I can for how it will be and have been letting her help out with as much as possible during these last stages. Although, I can't quite bring myself to discussing exactly how baby K will be getting her nourishment! I have read numerous articles on this and still do not know... I keep thinking maybe it will be easier once she 'sees' it happening. At whatever point I am certain it will be interesting with Kamri!
