Since this is my third baby, and third boy at that, I really didn't want to have a shower. I don't like being the center of attention and I really don't need anything new since everything can just be handed down. So yesterday my fantastic supervisor Janea threw me a diaper shower instead. Let me tell you...this is totally the way to go! You don't have to open gifts in front of anyone, it's more affordable for people, I don't think I will ever have to buy wipes again and may not need diapers until this little man is about 6 months old!
She hung Barrel of Monkeys from the ceiling. 1st, I didn't know these were still being made and 2ND, I took them home for Preston and Ethan to play with and they loved them! The monkeys entertained them for several hours! I never expected that.
The desk confetti was pretty cute but got EVERYWHERE! It was being trailed all around the office and kept getting stuck to the under side of my belly that I can't see. People were pulling it off me all day!
UUMMM cake! Who doesn't love cake?!?! Especially one with a TON of frosting! I did manage to smuggle some home for later :)
Another plus to the diaper/wipe shower...nobody has to wrap anything!
I was also given a few outfits, bibs, gift cards and baby necessities, but look at all the diapers/wipe!! I know this is dorky but i did a count of what there was because it was so over whelming: 1,804 wipes and 730 diapers!!
I want to give a B-I-G thank you to all of my fantastic co-workers for being so generous, creating a great Friday for me and starting our newest addition off with a huge supply of the two things you can never have enough of! I am extremely thankful and appreciative! I'm going to try to stick it out at work for 2 more weeks. I'll be home for about 5 months and am really going to miss the conversations and adult interaction. I'm not quite ready to give it up yet!
Lots of Love and Bunches of hugs,
XOXO Brogan Lee
With Price being stationed in San Diego and all but a few family members & friends in other parts of the country, it only made sense to start a blog! Preston and Ethan never seize to amaze me and I love sharing stories with everyone who can't experience the adventure first hand. I hope you enjoy the drama that is The Walling Family!
About Me
- wallingfamily
- Back to the beginning: Price and I met at YHS my freshman (his sophmore) year and dated for the next three years. After Price graduated, he joined the military and was stationed in Beautiful San Diego. Shortly after I graduated, we were married and had our 1st little man on the way: Preston Barrett Walling, born 2/2/07. We bought our 1st home in May 2009 and Little man #2, Ethan Jefferson Walling, followed on 7/29/09. As if life wasn't already crazy enough after that, we welcomed baby boy #3, Maverick Charles Walling on 11/20/2011 and our first girl (and Dog) Lucy in January 2012. We're still in San Diego, living one adventure after another!
