A few weeks ago a dear friend of mine asked me is she could do a baby shower for little Adam and I. At first I was a bit hesitant. Only because..yes this is our 5th child...and yes this is our 5th son. However, after talking it over with a few people, I am just excited and honored that she would want to do this for us. There is not one specific great need, but it will be nice for this baby to have a few new things and not have everything that has been passed down through 4 other kids. However, I am excited to just celebrate and fellowship with family and friends over the upcoming arrival of our little Adam. We are so excited to meet him and have him join our family. I cant believe it will only be 5 weeks and he will be here.
I would like to ask anyone from church to help spread the word about the shower if you talk to anyone. I don't want to leave anyone out...but being that dear friend who does not go to our church is throwing the shower, it would be hard for her to tell everyone. The only way I knew to tell her to let people know is through facebook and then the numbers I have on my cell phone. So if you know of anyone that does not have facebook, please feel free to let them know.

The only thing I ask is that if you have the tummy bug that is going around church or ANYONE is your house currently has it, please do NOT come. We have avoided it so far and prayerfully will continue to avoid it. Because of all the contractions I have been getting, it is very important to try and stay as hydrated and healthy as possible. A tummy bug would definitely not be good for baby and I right now. It is still too early for him to be born as I still have 7 weeks until my official due date...although delivery date is in 5 weeks. And I surely dont want to get put on bed rest again. Please do not be offended in any way.

The shower is going to be at my house next Sat Aug 8th @ 2pm. If you need our address or directions, please feel free to call as I would prefer not to post that info here.

I look forward to being at your shower..!! I think there is NoThInG wrong with someone wanting to throw you a shower, even though this is your 5th boy!! Over the years...boys are "ruff" and "tough" on their clothes/toys/items and adam should be able to get "new" items not just hand me downs =] even though hand me downs are the best type of clothes...if they are in good shape..Obadiah has some hand me downs from my brother Jakob and Zacheys clothes!! =]
I cant believe you have about a month...then a few weeks after you emily and I go =] how exciting for all these new babies!!
As long as we are all well (which we'd sure better be by then!), I'll be there! Looking forward to it! Are you registered anywhere? Also, what brand diapers do you prefer?
I am excited for you and your newest boy!! It is a wonderful thing to have a friend who wants to honor you and your son in this way. I hope to be there.
