Karen-I think you are right! There are a lot of people that are new that we don't have pics of. And it is so fun to see who we are talking to!
Val-Months ago my friends came to me and wanted to have a party. I was very leary, but they said "you will have a child one day! And you have waited so long-its time to celebrate!" I agreed as long as it as more of a PARTY than a SHOWER. And that is exactly what they did! Ironically we got a referral just a few weeks before the party. But even if something falls through with this child, or even in Russia...we WILL have a baby one day! I will have fond memories of the party no matter what. Don't be afraid!!! Besides, there are things you need BEFORE you child gets home! Amy
