A Baby Bash & Update!

So we have been a little busy with work, baby prep, work, camping, work, thank you notes, and yep, you guessed it work, to update the blog. I know, we have been bad with it. So let us get you caught up on what has been going on!

May 10^th a wonderful baby bash/shower was given for us. Our amazing friends, family, and supporters showed up to shower Baby St. Peter. Chelsea, Kimberly, Rita, and Toni hosted it and did an amazing job. 

 

Me with Baby Bash Hosts: Toni, Kimberly, Me, Chelsea, & Rita

We are so honored to have them as friends! 

We even had Kathy with us who hosted my Moms baby shower when I was on the way!

The ladies, had 13 tables set up with a picture of each of us (Mike & I) over the years and had them set up with "matching years."

There was sooooooo much good FOOD!

While the women were doing the games and gifts, the guys got together with Mike and kept him company with beverages and chit chat.

Mr. Jerod, Mike, Ron, and Don (somewhere were also DanA, Dan B, Al, Terry & Larry!)

We had games throughout and even had a men vs women relay race to diaper and dress the babies to close out the baby bash!

Everyone seemed to have a great time! 

And the stuff! 

Oh my goodness the stuff Baby St. Peter is going to start out with! Our people are AMAZING. The explorer was PACKED! 

Now in turn, our nursery is packed!  

Overflowing with love!

Just to make it perfectly clear, here is what the nursery looked like PRIOR to the shower...

clean and organized

We want to thank everyone for joining us who could make it and also to everyone who sent gifts, thoughts, love, and light to us on our journey. We couldn’t be doing it without the support of all of you!

If you couldn't join us for the shower, please make sure at some point you get together with us so you can sign our Baby Tree that will  be hanging in the nursery. Once we have a name and date, that will be added to the bottom of the truck. It so far looks like this:

So since the shower, we have been working to upgrade some safety things in the house, working extra hours to bring in more $$ for the adoption fund, and searching for our perfect miracle. Oh, and trying to not stress out entirely! We have put in our profile for a few babies, however they have fallen through for one reason or another. So we practice patience and do a lot of soul searching and discussion so we remain focused and on the same page. Trust us, one way or another when we are matched, the entire world will know as soon as our sponsors from our Go Fund Me account and family have been notified. You know it will be shouted from the rooftops!! For more information you can check out our adoption agency's website where you will find our E-profile!

So now that it is 2am here, I am finally getting sleepy so please keep your prayers coming and everything crossed for our match to be made soon and if you hear of anyone looking to make an adoption plan, point them in the direction of Building Blocks!
