A baby shower

I have such incredible friends. And even though I insisted I didn't need a baby shower for this fifth baby of ours, they didn't listen. I'm so grateful.

This afternoon my friends from our ward got together to celebrate our new baby coming and brought me the most generous and wonderful gifts. Honestly, every single one of them was absolutely perfect and definitely something that I needed. (Types the lady who believed doctors eighteen months ago when they said we could not have any more children. What was I thinking getting rid of everything?)

Not only do I feel excited beyond words for this new little guy to join us (I was excited before, but the shower made it much more real to me), but I feel such deep gratitude for good and kind friends who show their love in such a giving way. I'm so blessed. And this baby boy is going to be one stylish, happy, spoiled little man.

**Update: As if yesterday wasn't enough, several of my sweet friends that couldn't make it to the shower brought a gift to church today. My word, as if I didn't already feel loved.
