What a wonderful day! Our baby shower was a total success! I really want to take the time to thank Herline, Laura, and Lisa for making Carl and I feel so special! Even though there were a few mishaps (LOL!) it was wonderful to see everyone, and enjoy their presence, on top of getting some awesome gifts that Noah will definitely be using when he comes home! Below is a picture of Noah's AMAZING looking AND tasting cake! It was done by the same lady that did my wedding cake. I don't think I'll ever go to anyone else as long as I am living in Orlando. She is FABULOUS!
The shower was awesome. I loved the games that were played, the cards of advice that everyone wrote, and the food was incredible. Carl and I were pooped that night, and didn't go to bed until about 3:00 in the morning because Carl HAD to clean, and I was breaking down gift bags and organizing the PILES of clothes I will have to wash in the next few days! Ayayay!
Anywho, after the shower, we made our way to see Noah. This was the first time I spent the day (daytime) without seeing him. The nurse asked if I wanted to hold him, and of course I said yes. Well, actually she first asked Carl and he said no. He still thinks that Noah is too small for him to want to hold him I guess. He says he doesn't want anything to happen to him, and I guess he would feel more comfortable later. The time is coming soon though...and once he starts, I know i will be fighting him for some time with Noah. So...i'll enjoy it while I can still hold him!
Herline came to visit Noah as well (with Aguillard and the kids of course!). Her and I had a chat a few days back about the fact that she couldn't wait to make a connection with Noah and for him to know who she was. So i told her that she should go ahead and hold him the next time she comes. Well since Carl declined to hold Noah, i figured this was the perfect time for Herline to hold him. She seemed so excited and said yes without hesitation! The nurse made her sit down, and then placed Noah in her arms. Of course there were still all the wires as well as the oxygen tube that came along with him, but she didn't seem to mind. My sister just saw Noah...her godson! She appeared to be so happy, and she chatted with him a little, and looked into his eyes. Noah didn't make a peep! Looked like he was wondering who is this new person holding me, but she kind of looks like the other lady who holds me all the time, so I guess it's all good! LOL. He's a good baby. Doesn't scream or yell unless he's uncomfortable, hungry, or has pooped. For the first time, I realized how tiny Noah really was. I mean, I've seen him in the isolette, and seen him when he is in my arms or during Kangaroo care, but never did I think that he was this small! But even if he is small, he is precious and I love him just the same, f not more. I was so glad that Herline held him...she's my everything, and her holding him warmed my heart. :-)
