Surprise Shower in a Box!

Holy Cow! I was outside working on the new room this afternoon and the FedEx truck pulls up and delivers this HUGE box. Well, it was too heavy for me to get inside, so I had to wait patiently until Ben got home. I knew my dear friend, Sarah, put it together, but I had NO IDEA what to expect inside. Well, Ben finally got home and we moved the box in and after getting past the layer of a gazillion diapers, which are awesome, there were gifts from so many of our family and friends on the mainland.
This was seriously the most thoughtful and loving thing ever. We are so blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives and Little Miss J is so lucky. The only thing of course that would have made it better is if everyone could have been here with me, but since y'all couldn't, we tried to take as many pictures as possible. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, to everyone for the wonderful surprise! It truly brightened my day and made me so much more excited for Little Miss J!!!! Love you all!

So many pink gifts!
