33 weeks 4 days

This was one of the top 5 weekends of my life - the contenders are: my bridal shower, the Paul McCartney concert, my wedding (which technically wasn't a weekend), and the weekend Jesse and I got engaged. This weekend was our BABY SHOWER!!!

All that I asked for was that it be green and brown. What I got was that, but SO MUCH MORE! Every itty bity detail was well thought out and meaningful. As I get access to pictures I will post them :)

I got to see family that I rarely see and friends traveled from near and far to share this time with us. We were literally showered with gifts that were well thought out and overwhelmingly helpful! Once the car seat base is installed in the car I can successfully say we are ready for Adin to join us. I even have the last of the 0-3 month old clothes, socks, hats, towels, washcloths, and burp cloths.

We received lots of diapers. A part of me wants to say we have enough newborn and size 1's to last - but I think I'm foolish to believe that. We received 3 diaper cakes that contained enough diapers to completely fill more than 1 entire drawer in Adin's dresser. And for the record, it's the bigger of the 3 drawers. Plus we have packs of diapers under the crib and a large box in the closet. It's a HUGE relief to have these basics all set and now it's just the little things.

Additionally, my mom came to visit which doesn't happen nearly as often as it should. The good news is that she will be back after Adin is born (7-8 weeks from now). My cousin, whom I used to spend the summer with in California when she was 5 and 6 years old is not attending college in Boston and she was able to come. Anything that brings friends and family together is amazing in my book.

In conclusion, I want to send a huge thank you to Ashleigh, Susan, Julia, Kara and Ashley for all your hard work, thoughtfulness, and love. I'm sure there were behind the scenes helpers, so a thank you to you too. I can't believe that a day that wonderful was planned just for us :)
