So--the last month has been nuts. Kyle finished his first RO1 grant submission, we had two baby showers thrown for us and were completed overwhelmed by the outpouring and generosity of our friends in TX. Here is the one picture I managed to take from the baby shower thrown by my Junior League friends. The ladies got us a really nice baby monitor and some super-cute baby bath stuff (towels, washclothes, etc). The best thing about the day was walking out of the shower with an entire case of diapers.....in addition to the fancy-pants diaper cake that one lady made for us. I have decided that the diaper cake is GENIUS! There are more pictures somewhere, but you can see some of the ladies in this one.
One of the ladies had the cutest idea....I plan to steal it in the future. She made this really cute cloth pouch with a velcro closure. It acts like a mini diaper-bag for those quick trips or for emergency backup....you can fit two diapers, hand sanitizer and a pack of wipes in it and the fabric is very chic. I am in love. This woman is a family and consumer science teacher at the local high school and is Martha Stewart with a much nicer demeanor.
I have to mention one story....of course. :-). The red-head in the picture was the owner of the house where the shower was held (I want this house when I grow up!). She said that her husband asked if he could have any of the fancy-shower snacks that she made and she told him that he could only have snacks if he brought a gift. Well, apparently, he gave her permission to buy a gift in his name so he could have snacks. When Randi (redhead) got to the store she saw that we had a hooded towel on our registry that looks like a giant shark's head....the child's head goes into the mouth of the shark. Randi said she put down a couple of other things she picked up and immediately bought the shark towel. Her one comment was "I just knew that had to be Kyle's choice so it was a must-have".
