On Saturday our friend Jolene, along with other friends from church threw a shower for us. We brought Abby for the first little bit to show her off. We had gals there from church, MOPS and Jolene's mom and sister. It was fun to share our little sweetie with people who have been praying for her and us through all of this. In addition to the fun gifts we also received quite a few walmart and target gift cards. Those will come in very handy when we have to start buying Abby's formula. She has a specific type for low birth weight babies, so I can't just pick up the cheapest stuff.
The pictures I'm downloading are of Abby sitting in her new bumbo chair. She loves to sit up on my lap and with this little seat she can sit up on her own. It was one of her gifts, and there is also a tray for when she has a little more hand coordination. Hopefully she'll like that part too. The other photo is the play mat that she also received at the shower.
So tonight would be a good time to start writing some thank you notes. I'm behind from some other gifts we've already received. I've tried pretty hard to keep up with thank yous, but every now and then I get behind. During this whole experience we've received quite a few surprises in the mail. While she was still in the hospital the Visa and gas cards were really helpful with all of the extra miles I was driving-70 round trip. It's so nice to have that behind me. We've been blessed by many wonderful people, some we don't even know. I'm sure we'll be able to pass on the generosity some time in the future to other families in crisis.
