Baby Shower Planning

My friend Michelle has generously offered to host a baby shower for us, and she even said there will be no dumb games! yes! We're trying to plan it way in advance so any of our family that would like to come can have lots of time to make traveling plans. So far, we think that Saturday April 2nd seems like a date that will work, sometime in the afternoon, like 3 or 4 pm. We want to have a co-ed shower, so Josh will be there, and our dude friends, and if dads want to come, they can.
We would love to have any and all of you family members join us, but we promise not to be heartbroken if you can't, since you'll probably be coming out again only a month later for baby time. We're happy for whatever time we get to spend with you, and if you'd rather put your resources into visiting when you'll actually get baby face time, it's fine with us! I know we'll need lots of helping hands after the birth.

We sure are getting excited! Last night while we were watching TV, Josh finally got to feel the baby move. He/she was moving a bunch on my right side, and Josh was able to feel some good punches in there. He was so excited that his hand was shaking! It was cute. He also kept going *GASP!* every time he felt it. He's silly.

Things are much better now that he's home. He's leaving again this week, but just for Tuesday night, which is a big relief. All that alone time was too much.
