The gifts and &#8220;blessings&#8221; we received from everyone was amazing and will help us tremendously with the boys. There is so much a baby needs and we have that times TWO&#8230;two cribs, two car seats, a double stroller, two bouncy seats, two adorable little butts to diaper, two mouths to feed, etc. It can get a little expensive so every little bit helps!!<\/p>\n<p>I want to thank Jen, Kara, Evie, my aunt Linda and aunt Gwen for giving us the baby shower, I can&#8217;t begin to express my gratitude to you guys and how much Jonathan and I both appreciate your hard work &#8211; Love you guys! <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a picture of me with the wonderful hosts:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lblundell\/4897847355\/\" class=\"tt-flickr tt-flickr-Medium\" title=\"me with the hosts\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4138\/4897847355_3544b1bdd7.jpg\" alt=\"me with the hosts\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>All the tasty food they prepared:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lblundell\/4898421772\/\" class=\"tt-flickr tt-flickr-Medium\" title=\"food table\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4102\/4898421772_88bde5371c.jpg\" alt=\"food table\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>And even a diaper cake made by Evie, which included something like 190 diapers &#8211; that&#8217;ll last us about what 10 days?!<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lblundell\/4899431267\/\" class=\"tt-flickr tt-flickr-Medium\" title=\"me with the cake\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4123\/4899431267_8ac3173bc7.jpg\" alt=\"me with the cake\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Jen also put together this &#8220;blessings tree&#8221; where people could write down some advice or a prayer for us.
