Baby Shower!

Well, it was a busy weekend. Steve's office-mates threw a wonderful baby shower for both of us on Saturday and Annette's mom and her friend Peggy came from South Carolina. Many of the CNU Library staff members were there as well as cousin Linda from VA Beach, Annette's friend Liz from Poquoson, Beth from church choir (former library student worker), and Deborah's mom. Thanks again to Deborah and Jean for planning and hosting--great food and great fun! Everyone was far too kind and generous with their gifts (but we'll happily accept them!). Here are a few of the pictures (Thanks to Johnnie and Deborah for taking them) I added a couple of Annette's mom and Peggy looking through the gifts again later with help from Lily.









































This whole baby thing is looking more and more real every day but we still have a lot to do in the next few weeks: We're interviewing pediatricians, looking forward to a newborn care class, we have to install the car seats, buy a crib mattress, paint and hang the screen door for the baby's room, assemble and rearrange baby furniture, pack the hospital bag, buy a few more Christmas presents, and go to doctor appointments. Of course, we'll do all that in our spare time.
