Dear Donna,

Our church gave us a baby shower at the end of June. We are post-March 5th and originally hoped to have our baby home sometime in July or August...it has been very hard b/c ever since the shower, the "When is he coming home?" question seems to be coming more often than ever. I discouraged people from buying clothes, but many did anyway & I feel bad that he will never wear most of them.

Having said all that, I am SO glad that I had a shower. This is my first baby and I would have regretted not having this experience. More than anything, it was an expression of love from a special group of people. So, even though it was emotionally difficult in some ways, I am grateful for the love and support.

I just can't wait for the day I can answer their questions & say, "We are going to get him this weekend!"

Good luck,
Alex
