What Fun!

It's late, so I'll just add a quick post. Christine, Barb and I went to register for our baby shower this evening after work. I did some research and "interviewed" several friends including Shelly and Elizabeth who were wonderful! They have kids close to our son's age and knew what to suggest.

It was still overwhelming. By day, I was a competent career woman - Tonight - a confused crazy person running around zapping at items in a store with a scanner. I lost count of how many times I stared at merchandise in complete and total confusion. So many cute clothes and toys - and who knew there were so many types of diapers! I'm supposed to get formula for the trip that doesn't have iron. Good luck with that folks! I was at Target, but I'll try the grocery store to see what they've got. Barb had to leave, so Chris and I finished up. We did pretty well until we got to the whole baby wash/diaper thing. I just scanned a few items and crossed my fingers. I figure I'll live and learn on this one.

It's been wonderful sharing our journey with friends and family. I can't even describe the wonder of watching Dave's parents and my folks watch the video of their grandson for the first time. I was torn between watching the baby and watching their reaction - but it was magical and emotional. We've got four very excited grandparents who cannot wait to meet this little boy. It's a good thing he likes to be held!

Susan - thanks for the lovely verse you posted. It's one of my favorites!
