Gifts from sweet friends!

I have the sweetest friends. Period. The number of people who know about my pregnancy is few, but those who do know are very excited for us and have kept our secret well. I am glad; however, that we will soon be telling everyone about our baby. Keeping our excitement to ourselves is tough, especially after seeing our little one on Monday.

I wanted to share a few pictures of early gifts I have received from a couple of my friends. This first gift is a baby gift that I was given the morning of my originally scheduled ultrasound appointment (Feb. 7th). It was very exciting to get my first baby outfit! Our baby, boy or girl, will be adorable in this cute ducky outfit! Thank you Krissy and sweet Julia!

My next gift was for me. My friend, Emily, (we work and go to church together) has two precious little boys. During both of her pregnancies she has worn the cutest maternity clothes. She has one top in particular that I have coveted every time she wore it. I just love it! So, Wednesday night, at church, I mentioned to her how much I love that shirt and the next morning, at work, she gave it to me! Come to find out, it is now a double hand-me-down; the best kind, because it is so soft. So, I now have my first maternity top, which has been worn with lots of love over the years. It it perfect, since I will be pregnant throughout this Spring and Summer.
