Showers of love

We have been so lucky to have such an incredible support system on this journey from the very beginning! Since getting our referral, we only continue to be showered with love for Baby M! We had two showers, one hosted by Vivi's sisters and one  hosted by Vivi's best friend and sister in law. Both showers were amazing and a wonderful way to celebrate this beautiful child, her life and her addition to our family.

A day to celebrate the journey to Baby M 

Talented friends!


Some of the very thoughtful gifts 
(I couldn't post them all but)...





Homemade gifts are the best...especially from an excited grandma!

This book holds several drawings of Baby "M" participating in activities with various family members

A very special group of friends.

We must also recognize how deeply touched we were by the people who weren't able to make it to the showers, but let it be known that they are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Baby M! (Wouldn't you rather wait to attend the party when Baby M will be there...we understand). Thank you to everyone for your love and support!
