Our First Shower

Rose and Blaine threw us our first shower on November 5th, 2011 at Taco Mac in Douglasville. If you ask Candi she will tell you that this was my shower since it consisted of a bar, University of Georgia football on the big screen and cornhole, but I tried to "share" it with her. What guy will honestly admit that someone threw him a shower??

We were blessed to have the company of such great friends who I know for a fact are going to be a huge part of Drew's life and maybe even one or two of them will be a positive role model for her.

We received so many wonderful gifts that we know are going to be so helpful with the upbringing of our wonderful daughter but I still felt like some of my friends still found a way to throw some jabs at me......well placed jabs and they will come back in due time my friend.

In the words of Rose, "It's a what?? Really??" Yes Rose it is called a Bumbo and it is a seat that helps the newborn sit upright. Its okay....I will teach you how to use everything before you babysit for us. There will be a quiz at the end of this as well and if you don't pass then Blaine is in charge!!!

My friends that are parents and even my parents have told me that there is no way that I could ever imagine the amount of joy and happiness that comes along with a child in your life. I feel like I know what that joy is now having nephews and a wonderful little girl like Ansley in my life but there is always the other side of the coin. Its like my own MTV Bio, in the opening credits they always said, " you think you know but you have no idea....". There is no way that I could ever put in words the excitement that we have about this amazing journey we are about to embark on, but we are very glad that Ansley will be there with her every step of the way.

Since the first day I was very excited about having a "Daddy's Little Girl" and it is now official that we are on the proper path to brain washing Drew to think that daddy hung the moon. I totally expect to have many more items along these lines of how much she loves her daddy!!

Between all of the cute bibs, clothing, blankets, bouncer seats, bathing supplies, bumbos, tubes of buttpaste and the amazing amount of gift cards we received among other wonderful gifts nothing seems like they will be more useful than diapers!!! What kind of "shower" is held without diapers?? What kind of "shower" helps create a Diaper King??

Only the kind that is full of amazing people, lots of love and maybe an adult beverage or two. Thanks to all that made this the memorable day that it was, we love each and every one of you.
