Rick and Anna had their baby shower yesterday and i have to say, this kid is making out like a bandit! its like everyone has bought presents over the last 12 years that she should have been here and are now giving them to her all at once. i can only imagine what Christmas and birthdays will be like even more so since that will land in the same month.
Beau (Anna's sister) did a GREAT job with everything! bill, her husband and William and Morgan the new cousins to be were so helpful and definitely did there fair share of work as well. everything turned out beautiful! there were so many people, at least 50 and it all got a bit overwhelming for me. so many people and so many compliments on what I'm doing that it left me feeling a bit awkward. i guess that i just don't think twice about what I'm doing, i haven't questioned it this whole time so for someone to make a fuss out of it just makes me wiggle nervously in my seat. not to mention that it was Rick and Anna's big day and i didn't want to take anything from that. but on the other hand it is refreshing to see how happy everyone is that this day has finally come. even though i never know what to say when someone comes up to me to say thank you it is still appreciated so very much!
as Rick and Anna opened gifts i was surprised that a few were for me. it was so thoughtful and a total shock. it was really heart warming to be included. Beau got me a book and some smell good girly things, Ricks sister got me some bath things, someone else (i cant remember for the life of me who it was...sorry) got me some more bath pampering stuff and then Rick and Anna got me all sorts of stuff to pamper myself during and after the pregnancy. of course it wouldn't have been complete without some water works lol. rick and Anna included the sweetest card that, of course, made me cry like a baby in front of everyone. now i know all you nosey people want to know what it said so here it is
* My dearest Krystal*
Here we are, so close and yet so far! the thing is, we wouldn't be here at all if it wasn't for you! i know we have told you before, but we will never be able to tell you enough THANK YOU!! thank you for doing this for us, thank you for taking care of our little girl! i know it hasn't always been easy-lol! and thank you for helping us complete our family!!!! so here are just a few things to take care of you! hopefully to make you more comfy now, at the hospital and to recover later! so with all our love, appreciation and gratitude!

Rick, Anna and Olivia
brings tears to my eyes even writing it lol. i think what does it is realizing that they don't take any of this for granted, not one little bit of it! but the thing is, i feel honored to do this for them. i feel like I'm the one receiving a gift as well. i am literally changing someones life, its taken 10 months to do but I'm doing it and i feel blessed that i have that ability! i love Rick and Anna so much and all their family as well! its so refreshing to see that out of so many babies that are born this baby is undoubtedly here for a purpose and will have so many people who love and thank god for her everyday and all she has to do is make her presents. so many babies and children fight everyday to get love like this and its amazing to be apart of a success story =)
