Pre-shower Showering



My sister Sarah came to visit this weekend for Easter and it was a lot of fun! She brought some baby shower gifts with her (that are super cute) since she can't make it to my baby shower in a couple weeks, so she decided to pre-shower us. (our camera is currently in CA so I found these pix on-line)She got baby a cute Winnie the Pooh, "Days with Pooh" memory album book...


...these cute shoes called Robeez...


...and for Stephen she got this interactive CD thing called "The Goodfather."

It has everything that dads-to-be need to know, and he's already spent almost 2 hours on it today. It has information covering all the basics, and non-basics, from things like "different kinds of baby poop", to baby names, etc. It even has a thing to make your own announcements for when the baby's born. He even taught me something new called "Kangaroo Care" where you hold the naked baby against your bare skin to reduce the baby's stress, normalize its' heartbeat, increase its' oxygen, and the baby sleeps better, etc. He's gonna be such a great dad! (Stephen also brought some great gifts back with him from CA, that Linda and Becky had picked out, but because our camera is in CA I'll have to post the pictures a little later.)

Robeez are awesome! Make sure, though, that they're about one size bigger than you think you'll need--Taylor babies have HUGE feet!!! Camryn wore a pair of Robeez maybe twice before her huge feet grew too big. Boo hoo hoo.

When's your shower? Where are you registered?

My shower is in two weeks, approximately, the day after graduation. It turns out that even though we delayed our graduation until August we can still walk in April. Happy Day, that's when we're done anyways. I signed up at Target, but I never did register anything, I forgot. I only signed up because I thought I might get a gift card from Target from them, but they never sent one. Aren't I selfish. I didn't register at Target because we only got a few presents that we actually registered for, everyone else gave gift cards or money, so...I didn't think there was a point to doing it, but maybe I will because I've had a couple of people ask already where I'm registered. So yeah, I think I will.

(That was from our wedding I mean, referring to the gifts, and gift cards, etc.)

I love those little shoes. They are the only ones that will fit on Preston's feet, and that he seems to keep on. By the way, what Megan said is true about Taylor babies' feet. The first comments by the nurses attending my babies' births always seemed to relate to the size of their feet.
