In mid-February, we hosted family and local friends for a little sprinkle at home to celebrate our baby girl on the way. Since it was just after Valentine’s Day, the theme was “She will be loved.” Indeed she will be, honestly, she already is so, so loved. Her brothers are constantly asking about her and expressing their excitement about her arrival.
I know baby sprinkles can be controversial but we have wanted to celebrate each baby of ours. For our firstborn, we had a baby shower celebration at a garden restaurant. For our second baby, also a boy, we decided to keep things simpler. We had just moved into our home, after all. So, we had a baby sprinkle and housewarming in one. For our third baby, we decided to celebrate as a combined baby sprinkle and Mother’s Day luncheon at our home.
For this baby, everyone was excited to buy baby girl clothes and gifts for us for a change, and it showed. Even though it was a “sprinkle,” we have been showered with love, support and presents. At first, I was overwhelmed (in a good way) by how many presents we received but once my cousin and I separated her clothing by sizes, it felt much more manageable and her closet is all set up. In fact, it was one of the first little projects I finished for her.
I just recently finished her nursery nook and packed our hospital bags so we are pretty ready.
Now, we just wait on her but we know for sure she will be here by next week!
