5 Weeks and The Generousity of Friends

Five weeks today!  Mom and Dad started out the celebration by decorating my NICU room.  They put up a hand made bunting that had my first and middle names on it.  All the nurses think it is so cute and people stop by to compliment me on it all the time. Thanks Mary Rachel Armstrong!  We love it

Spruces up my hospital room with happiness! 

I woke up bright eyed and ready to take on the world today! It is my 5 week birthday and today Mommy is going to celebrate with great friends by making babies shower or something like that.  I don't know what that has to do with presents and cake, but she seemed excited about it so I am too.

Hello World!

 Mom was so excited she even got a haircut and wore a dress.  She said it was no big deal but I've seen her go days in the NICU without a shower, so the residents and nurses treated her like she looked like she was going to prom.

Mom told me all about the shower.  She said there were so many amazing women there that she couldn't wait for me to meet.  She said they showered me with clothes, toys, and even a stroller with a carseat.  I need that carseat in order for the hospital to let me go home with my parents.  Mom always gets choked up when she talks about the generosity of her friends and how important it is to her to have such amazingly strong women role models for me.  I'm glad that Mom has good friends and I can't wait to fashion show all of my new outfits!  Mom said the party was really lovely and that there was cake, and cute little smores gifts, and hand made coasters.  She said it looked like it was a lot of work and she was so amazed that her friends Cristina, Amy, Michelle, and Jill pulled if off even after having to reschedule cause I came early.  

Beautiful centerpieces and treats!

Chris calls Mommy Panda and look at that cake!

Mom & the stellar shower committee

So you see Mom and Dad got out and had a good time and all of these friends are so generous! Mom had so much fun, but needed a nap after she got back to the hospital.  I am looking forward to meeting lots of the shower attendees soon and might even have a few visitors this week!

Now that I got all this cool stuff, Mom is going to have to heavily rotate my wardrobe!  We've been trying trying to get through all the clothes that  friends have mailed me so she put me in a cute elephant onesie from Cindy Sevier.  Thanks Cindy!

Keepin it real.  Real effing cute.
