My Baby Shower!

I recieved a TON of baby stuff yesterday!!!

*11 outfits
*2 sleepers
*3 shirts
*100 disposable diapers
*147 diaper wipes
*12 cloth diapers
*4 diaper pins
*3 lap pads
*2 blankets
*1 receiving blankets
*6 wash cloths
*6 vinyl diaper covers
*1 front/back baby carrier (like the Baby Bjiorn thing)
*1 bottle Sweet Pea baby lotion
*1 tube diaper rash ointment
*1 bottle baby powder
*1 soft baseball rattle
*1 puppet duck
*1 plush duck
*1 plush bear
*1 baseball
*1 bat
*1 diaper pail
*3 bibs
*1 pack disposable bibs
*3 little yellow rubber duckies
*1st diary for (me and) Eviath's first year

I am a little disappointed, though; Chris, the baby's father, said he'd come to the baby shower because he wanted to be there.  I thought he actually wanted to be involved with his son; but he never showed up.

Oh well.  I don't have to put him on the birth certificate, and if he's not even going to show an effort to be around important baby stuff right now, then I can't count on him to be around for when the baby needs him or needs his help.

I can raise Eviath Orrion all by myself, anyway.

I had problems with mine 'cause it was a front-carry & I'm big-chested. Even had problems breastfeeding 'cause of the boyz. Hope you have better luck with yours! lol

Congratulations!!  That's so exciting. 

With my oldest I was alone during my pregnancy, minus my great group of friends.  My boyfriend told me he wanted to have a family with me, so I stopped using birth control.  When I found out I was pregnant, I was excited, but he didn't care.  He wasn't there for me at all.  So in the middle of my pregnancy I broke up with him.  He wasn't even there for the birth, even though he lived 2 blocks from the hospital.  Oh well.  He's good with Chris when he sees him, but he doesn't see him that often.  Later, though, I found someone who was willing to be a Daddy to my baby and now we're married, with 2 more kids.  So, good job for you.  You can do it alone, if you have to.  But keep a watchful eye out because there'll be someone out there who will love you and your baby.  Smiley

Looks like you had a whopper of a baby shower!  I hope it was fun.

Sounds great!!! Good start for all the stuff you'll need!!

As for the bf thing...
you've got the right attitude! Keep your chin up!

My first 2 pregnancies (1st at 16, 2nd at 20) I did  all alone, except for my mother (even my friends deserted me).
But when I was 21 I met an amazing guy, who was more than willing to take on me and my daughters (I still swear he fell in love with them before he fell in love with me lmao)
In Decemeber we will be celebrating our 14th anniversary...we have been through a custody battle (which we won), me going through college, a Landlord and Tenant Dispute (which we won), an eviction, 3 serious re-locations, the finding of my religion, a few deaths including my mother, grandmother and his great grandmother etc etc etc and through it all we, and our love, has only gotten stronger!!!

So again keep that chin up, they (those amazing men) are out there!

Well, taken that I needed everything...I think I came out pretty well!  Smiley

thanks, everyone!  as for the baby carrier thing...I don't know how it will fit, I guess I'd better try it on now, huh?..ok, brb....i think i'm just going to have to go with the flow on the carrier...trying it on with an 8-month pregnant belly doesn't really work.  Smiley
