This past week, my Mom came to visit and we got a lot accomplished. Prior to her arrival, however, she threw me a shower in Maryland without my knowledge and without my presence. She invited friends and family who brought unwrapped gifts so that everyone could see all the cute baby stuff. They then wrapped all of their gifts at the shower, so my Mom could pack them in a suitcase and bring them out to me. In fact, that was my surprise when I got home from work the day my Mom arrived. She had put some of the shower decorations throughout the nursery and the suitcase was there filled to the brim with lovely gifts. She also had a photo album of the shower. I can't thank my Mom, her friends and my family enough for all the gifts they showered Dennis and me with. It was a very sweet surprise.
My friend Jessica threw me a shower this past weekend, which was equally as lovely. My favorite was the cake with the little baby's butt on top. Friends and co-workers attended and once again I was showered with wonderful gifts for the baby. The next day, my Mom and I want to Babies R Us and purchased all the remaining items we needed for Baby Fowler. We then washed everything and put all of the stuff in its respective places. When my Mom came, all I had was a painted nursery, one side table, a chair and a crib with no matress. By the time she left, the nursery was fully furnished with a re-finished dresser, a mattress with sheets and all in the crib and all clothes, burp cloths, blankets, sheets, diapers, bibs, pacifiers, hats, socks and whatever else neatly put away in the dresser or closet. Dennis also hung the curtains. We officially have a nursery that is complete and fully stocked. All we need now is a baby.
