Showered with Love

Dear Caleb,

Yesterday was your baby shower.  It was a beautiful, HOT, sunny day.  There were cute decorations, delicious food, fun games, great gifts, and lots of people.  But what I will always remember about today was the love and joy that filled our house.  It was leave tears in your eyes and overflow your heart love.  The kind that everyone should have the chance to experience at some point.  As I laid in bed last night, I replayed the day in my head.  A day that I've dreamed about and wished for for so long.  A day that I once thought would never come...and I realized two things. 

The first is that God had this plan for me all along.  I should have trusted in Him all along.  I'm not sure why infertility was in my plan, but it was and it is what brought me to you Love.  He knew this day was in my future when I was in my darkest and most miserable days.

The second thing I realized is just how blessed I am to have so many people that love and care about Chris and me.  And all these people will be there to welcome you and love you from the very beginning.  You will be blessed to be surrounded with this love from the moment you are born. 

I soaked up this day like sunshine and will always cherish it.  I may not always remember what the decorations looked like or what food was served or what dress I wore.  But I WILL always remember how if felt to be so loved and how your upcoming arrival was so looked forward to by so many people.  I want you to know that today was such a special day and that so many people are looking forward to meeting you, especially your Mommy and Daddy.

Not much longer sweet boy!
I love you,

Mommy
