It's baby shower time!

Wow...We had the best shower today! Everything was so pretty, the food was awesome, it was a lot of fun, and we received very nice gifts. For this shower it was a "Display Shower." It was so wonderful for everyone....No one had to wrap their gift, I didn't have to have all eyes on me for 3 hours, the guest didn't have to sit and watch me open presents for 3 hours, and I got to be a social butterfly and visit with everyone! Livia received so many great gifts....tons of cute outfits, a bath tub, all the necessary items for bath time, a baby jumper, burp clothes and bibs, diapers, soft blankets, a rocker and storage unit for her nursery.....and the list goes on! One of the activities during the shower was for everyone to write advice for Cody and me...We received so many sweet words of wisdom that we will use. 
I love her tutu that Janet bought for her.

When everyone arrived they filled the gift tag out to put on their gift.

Lera's Gift

                      Meet our precious baby girl, LERA MICHELLE! Cody and I are choosing to share Lera’s story to hopefully encourage others that may have a similar journey and help change the way the world views Down Syndrome! At 11 weeks our OB at the time noticed a thickened nuchal fold and suggested we do a genetic blood test. Honestly, we didn’t believe anything would be detected with our baby, we were just looking forward to finding out the gender so early.

We cried, we were mad, we prayed and processed and prayed some more. We shared the results with our closest family and friends and just like us, they prayed over our baby daily. After t...
