Last Wednesday night, when my mom called me to tell me Sarah's water broke was also when I was just about to update this blog with the date for our shower, which was going to be this past Tuesday. Sarah had to open up all the gifts last week, since some of them she needed for Abby right away (such as her wonderful "Boppy!").
So here is what we are going to do...
1. I will be posting pictures of all of the gifts Sarah and Abby received as soon as I get them from Sarah and David (I took them with their camera!). If you still have a gift to send, please do! I will post pictures on a rolling basis most likely.
2. Instead of doing a game (since we can't guess the due date, etc), if you have any advice or words of encouragement for Sarah I will be creating a separate blog post for that (I will let you know when it is up!). Make sure you write your name. I will be making a little book for Sarah and Abby. (Please participate in this no matter what! Even if you can't send a gift!) UPDATE: the link to put advice is now LIVE at the top of this page!
Obviously this did not go as planned, but Abby just decided her timing was more fun and wanted to be here for the freezing cold Minnesota winter (the coldest weekend so far!!). Thanks so much for being part of this shower. I know Sarah is very thankful for each of you.
I'm not really understanding where I'm supposed to post encouragement (there's no comment box with the "advice" link) so here's my advice!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy this time with your precious angel! Each stage comes with it's own joys and trials. Soak it up, as the next stage will be upon you before you know it! Sleep when you can, spend time together when you can, and rejoice in this gift from the Lord. Congratulations!! Kristin Lindeen
