my shower was today!

I feel like a little kid on Christmas morning. I woke up at 5:30 this morning and couldn't get back to sleep because I was so excited about the shower. I was even having dreams about it. :) I felt like a little kid on Christmas morning!
The shower was really nice. We got a ton of stuff from our registry - everyone was very generous! Of course I got emotional and cried, but that was to be expected. Scott and Charnell bought us the swing, and when I opened the card and saw that it was from them I cried like a baby. I really wasn't expecting to have anything from them at the shower since I knew there was no way that Charnell would come all the way from Texas, so I thought it was so sweet that they sent something and it made me miss my brother! I think everyone thought I was nuts! No one in Joe's family could figure out why I was crying, they all thought that my brother must have some sort of terminal disease or something with the way that I was carrying on! That's what the pregnancy hormones will do to you - I'm an emotional wreck! Then I cried again when I saw some little sweaters and hats that my grandma made for me - they are just so cute and I can't wait to be able to put the baby in them.
So overall, it was a very nice day. The one thing that really surprised me is that I got almost NO CLOTHES. I'm not complaining at all, but I was just really shocked! I've heard people say that you won't get many clothes if you don't know the sex of the baby, but I was shocked when I didn't receive even one outfit! I think I got a few packs of onesies, and of course the sweaters that grandma made me, but other than that no clothes at all. We got tons of stuff from our registry though - everyone was very generous! And no duplicates at all, so that was awesome! :) We pretty much got everything that we need, except for the crib mattress and baby bathtub, so I'm going to go to BRU later in the week to pick those up with our gift cards and maybe pick up a few outfits while I'm there! :)
