April showers bring May... gulp!

This weekend we went to Redlands for our final baby shower. April has hit me this year with a bit of shock and trepidation, being as it is the month preceding May, and unless baby Klein comes very early or very late, May is baby month! After our baby shower, however, we are feeling much more prepared and excited.

My long time neighbor/godmother/friend Jan offered to throw us a shower, and her daughter Krista (who probably should have been a professional party planner) and her two daughters Katy and Abby put together an absolutely amazing party. There were adorable decorations, fabulous food, LOTS of presents, and (a bit to my surprise), many guests! Some that had known me since I was 5 years old, and some that I was meeting for the first time. But we felt very loved and are excited to bring our daughter into a world where so many people can't wait to meet her! My grandmother and aunt (soon to be GREAT grandmother and GREAT aunt!) even flew down for the weekend from the Bay Area, a super special treat.

Super cute decorations!

There was a game-quiz with a lot of baby related questions (such as: how much does the average baby cost in the first year? what are the three most popular baby girl names in the 21st century? how many diapers does the average baby go through by age 2?). Guess who won the quiz? Dan! He only got 8 out of 25 correct, but managed to out-guess everyone else who participated. He even won a nice bottle of wine! I was surprised that he won... Dan's always been great at exams, but having never even held a baby I didn't expect him to win the baby quiz!

An amazing diaper cake

Yummmmm... cupcakes!

Dan put some photos up on picasa, which you can see here. Sadly, his computer died shortly after (if you know Dan, you understand that this is pretty tramatic), so we may not put up other pictures from the weekend for some time, if ever. We are going to the Apple hospital tonight in Thousand Oaks to try to get it fixed. Keep your fingers crossed!

One more trip to Ventura this coming weekend (Babys-R-Us, Target, REI) and we'll have everything we need to finish setting up the nursery and will officially consider ourselves ready - or as ready as we'll ever be!
