Today I drove up to my Mom's for Kaya's baby shower. As I drove up to the house I saw my mom outside, putting pink bows on the railings of the front porch. She saw me and immediately started jumping up and down with excitement! I felt like time froze for a moment, as I began thinking of how I never thought my mom would be here to see my kids. With how sick she has been in the past, I am so grateful she is here and that she will be able to see little Kaya. I almost began to cry as I watched her jump up and down outside in excitement. Oh how I love my mom! She is so excited, more than can be put into words.
The wedding shower was a blast! A lot of people showed up: some of my cousins, Amanda Johansen, Belinda Kuck, Broughs, Gardners, Curtis', Chuggs, Grandma Adams, Grandma Hill, Aunt Mary, and a few more. Everyone was so sweet and bought Kaya some great gifts, that she will definitely need. I am so grateful for good friends!
Also, my mom, dad, grandma and grandpa Hollabaugh, and all my siblings went in together and bought Kaya's stroller and car seat. It was so fun to get the car seat! It made having a baby more real! I have already put the car seat in the Rav4. It makes me so happy to look back and see the car seat that will soon hold little Kaya. :)
How fun! I wish I could have come to your shower... We are in Washington DC for the summer. We'll have to get together when we get back in the fall. Being a mother is such a special gift. I hope everything goes well for you guys this next month! Good luck! :)
