Baby Showers!

Welcome to my first attempt at blogging! I don't know what took me so long - it's a great way to keep in touch with everyone, which will be increasingly important as my due date gets closer!

I had two great baby showers, which I thank everyone for! I know how much work went into both, and I'm so blessed to have family and friends that love this baby so much already! My first shower was so creative- a web cam shower!! My mother-in-law Connie set everything up at her home in Indiana where the family is, and we logged in from our house in VA. After a few technical snaffus, we got it all set up, and it was so nice to see the Schulte/Pierce families! Such a great idea! Connie even got her sister Doris to decorate my house in the same decorations and the make the same appetizers!

My second shower was this past weekend, and I'm still shocked at the surprise everyone was able to pull off! I wanted to cry when I saw everyone who had traveled in just for me- I got to see my mom, sisters, aunts, grandmas, and so many great friends! It was such a wonderful suprise, and meant so much to me. My sisters and my mom put in so much work to coordinate everything. I hope someday I can do something similar for them! Jonathan too did a great job keeping it from me and coordinating the use of our house. We had such a blast!!

Thanks again to everyone! Love you!
