Yeah!! Another exciting night last night. Keith called me at work and said we had three boxes along with a long tube on our front door step. He said he wanted to wait until I got home to open everything.

I got home at about 5:40 and we had the first of our two part Prepared Childbirth class starting at 6 (until 9:30!). We decided to wait until afterwards to check everything out. Poor Keith mentioned he wasn't feeling well before the class but thought he could tough it out. We got through 50 minutes of the class and Keith decided we had to get home...and fast! We reregistered to take the class this Saturday and then got home just in time. He had some really bad food poisoning - Bad meatballs at a gourmet grocery store. Good news is that he's feeling much better today!!

Anyway...we still managed to check everything out last night.

The tube contained the Welcome Madison sign. It is the neatest thing. Jessica, the sign is so beautiful. You're such a wonderful artist. All of the Malloy nieces and nephews put their personal touches on it. I wish I had it with me so I could go through what everyone did but I'm at work -- I'll write more about it later. I love how it traveled the country from Pennsylvania, to Florida and then to California. My sisters/brother had an instruction sheet in the tube to let everyone know what to do once they received the poster. They kept this sheet with their comments and suggestions so I could put it in Maddie's scrap book. What a great idea! The shower organizers have not left anything out :) and truly are showering us with love!

Ocean Wonders Aquarium Bouncer - from Jeff and Tammy (Keith's brother and our sister-in-law). The bouncer is in addition to the boppy that we received on Tuesday. You guys are so thoughtful - thank you so much for sending. We've heard that the bouncer will be great for us...so we can eat dinner!! It has lots of bells and whistles that will keep Maddie occupied :)

LeapStages Infant Learning System - from Keith's parents. They have written that they hope Madison has fun with this and it will help her grow! Love Grandma and Grandpa Rohrlick. We've heard that is great and can't wait to use it. This is in addition to her crib and all the goodies from our Saturday shower. You guys are too much. Thank you!!

Baby Einstein Play Gym - from Aunt Rita Malloy, Jeanean, Rita, Terry, Maria, Rita, Cathy, Jeannie, Colleen and Liz (I remembered the sheet today with everyone's name!). Aunt Rita is Uncle Bill's wife (my dad's brother) and all of the ladies are my cousins and cousins' wives. The play gym is in addition to the highchair and headrest. We love everything you have sent and appreciate it so much. The play gym is going to be fun for us too...lots of lights and action! Thanks again.

OK. That's it for now. Talk to you soon!

Love,
Jennifer
