Traditionally, with a second child, there is no shower, especially if the child is the same sex as the first. So, I didn't think there would be a shower this time and didn't think much more about it.
It turns out the girls at work decided to throw a shower! Huge thanks to Tara and Cheryl for putting that together!
We got a ton of cute and useful stuff, which is GREAT, since, as I've kicked myself about before, we got rid of SO MUCH stuff last year before deciding on one last try. I just felt weird even thinking about a shower until it happened since WE were the ones that got rid of all that stuff. It felt like it was all our fault for even needing to replace any of it in the first place.
Then, the weekend after the shower at work, my mom threw a little shower for family at her house. It was nice to see the family before I pop this baby out, and, once again, we got lots more cute and useful stuff. Thanks Mom!
And, in addition to thanks to the shower organizers, THANKS ALSO to those that showered us with presents! I can't believe I already got out all the thank you notes for the first shower! This weekend I'll write the ones for the second shower.
Funny to think I went from thinking "no shower" to actually having two! I feel special. : )
