So So Spoiled

Hallie and I are officially SO spoiled! Not only did we have one baby shower, but we had four. I know, I know. We are so blessed and grateful for everyone's love and support and of course we love all the cute things we got!!! I don't have pictures of the 3rd and 4th showers as they were in Idaho and my sister has them all on her camera, so maybe I will post some later. But, I just want everyone to know how grateful I am for your support and for all that you do. Here are some pictures of the 2nd shower, which was thrown by my sister-in-laws Kirston and Mesha.
My friends Jaime and Wendy! Wendy and I went to Ecuador together, which means we will have lifelong bonds. Jaime also went to Ecuador, but after us, so she completely understands how we feel about the situation!

This picture is dark, but oh well. These are some of my favorite Vantage Point co-workers...Amy and Sarah. I just love them...we have had many a hilarious time at VP and I will sure miss that place when I quit here in a month or so.
Kassie and Taylor, friends from my ward who serve in the RS presidency with me. I have gotten to be good friends with both of them as well and really enjoy spending time with them. Kassie is also having a baby-a boy-and is due two weeks before me!
Of course I have lots of pictures of me opening presents, but I will just post this one...I love this quilt! Devin's mom made it for us, along with a ton of other blankets and quilts. It is so pretty and so soft!
My sister-in-laws that were able to make it (minus Jenny, she left early to make it to the BYU game!) This is Kirston (having a baby boy on October 21!), me, Marcene, Alisa, and Mesha. Can you tell that any of them are Devin's siblings? Well all but Marcene are his sisters...Marcene is married to his brother Shane. They are all so fun and I love being a part of Devin's family. They are great.

I just have to show you how spoiled we are. I feel so loved. This is the loot from the shower at Mesha's house.
Though I don't have pictures of the showers in Idaho, like I mentioned, I do have a picture of all the stuff. This is the combined total from the two showers in Idaho. This baby is going to have more stuff than anyone I know!! Someone should have warned me not to do so much shopping before baby showers! But, we love it all and are grateful for it.
Just for good measure, I will show you what the cute nursery looks like. My mom gave me the bedding for my birthday and I love it! It is so cute.
I got a little crafty and painted the letters for above her crib, but I decided it needs something more...like maybe some little painted lady bugs to match the bedding? I will have to look into that. Devin is happy because it kept me occupied for a while and it was a super cheap project. Me, crafty? I know...unheard of.
The look from the doorway into the room. So much pink!!! I think we are now pretty much ready to go! Now we will just wait and see when she decides to show up. I just have to say thanks again to everyone, we appreciate all that we have been given and totally realize how blessed we are to have so much support from family and friends. This baby is already so loved and we can't wait to officially meet her! (Though I have had multiple nightmares lately that she was a boy...and that I was in a coma for a month after her birth and woke up to a baby son...ahhhh...!!!)

way to go!! And I am pretty sure that I did warn you to wait for the shower before shopping. I wish I could see it all in person...I just love looking a cute baby stuff..especially when it is pink. i like the crib bedding...love the ladybugs! As for the ladybugs on the wall...see if you can get some vinyl lettered ladybugs that could be removed easily afterwards.

Holy cats! Even though I saw the loot in person, I am still amazed at the pics. Pretty sure Hallie is set. By the way, the bedding looks super cute. Good job picking it out! And, I'm not any help in the crafty department. Seriously, mom is super crafty. What happened to us??? I mean honestly.
