Vaughn got lots of cute little outfits (Halloween included), fun shoes (that he'll wear for 5 minutes at a time before kicking off), a fun Baby Einstein's exercaucer, a rocking chair and ottoman for me, Dave and the baby (Dave already has a little rocking/feeding area all ready to go), a toy bin, hamper (for his stinky clothes), books (he's going to be the smartest baby ever), a diaper genie, his first train set and lots and lots of diapers!
Lately, I've been battling with myself as I often do. I've been feeling quite lonely with a longing for people...a longing for friends. Life is so different than it was in college. Keeping in touch with friends seems so much harder, but does it need to be? In college, if I needed a friend to talk to, I would just walk a few feet in my apartment or hop in the car and have friends surround me in matter of minutes. I love Dave. I love being with him, but as I go through this pregnancy, I have found that I need something else. I long for friends.
The shower helped me realize that I am loved. Vaughn is loved. It may take more effort to keep people actively involved in my life, but I am thankful and blessed to have those people already in my life. I just need to work a littler harder to become closer with them. This will be more important than ever when Vaughn is here.
I have one more baby shower that work is throwing me on Thursday. Dave gets to come to that one. We're very excited to spend more time with people who already love our little boy!
