I walk in the house today to find a huge box on the counter. I ask Ryan what is it and he says, "It's for Elle". It was really Elle's first package, addressed to her and everything. When I see that it's from my Aunt Nanette I knew it was not going to be any ordinary present. (this is from the same person who got me USC m&ms with my picture on them when I graduated from PA school)
I open the box and find:
Tons of individually wrapped presents each with it's own special note. Ryan and I open them together one by one. I start to read the first one but then my
ΓΌber hormonal emotional self appears and I start to choke up so Ryan takes over and reads the card aloud and I open the gift. We got so many cute things but I thought I'd share some highlights with you.
USC baby stuff of course! First cheerleading outfit and pink onesie, to die for :)
Here were some of the notes that were attached to each package:
I am pretty much due on the USC vs Cal game. It is an unspoken rule that no events are planned on Saturdays during college football season. I'm sure Elle knows not to make her debut during that time or the waiting room might just turn into a tailgating party.
ahhh! This is probably my favorite one. Too bad the new coach Kiffin edition had not come out yet:
Actually this one might be my favorite. Oh, who am I kidding? I love them all
Yes, Auntie loves Elle for sure:
Thanks again Aunty Nan and Uncle Terry! Such a wonderful surprise.
We are so blessed to have so much loving family and friends around supporting us. We are so thankful for all of the gifts we have already received. I think between my mom and Ryan's mom we may already have a full wardrobe. I'll post pictures of those soon!

Given to me by my girlfriend Kristin the book Your Pregnancy week by week has detailed descriptions of baby’s developmental milestones each week, tips on nutrition and lifestyle and the ways actions affect baby, helpful hints for the father-to-be and information on how a pregnancy affects a couple and much more. Now while I have read through most of the baby books from start to finish already Ryan only likes to read about each week as it's happening. As he is reading the about the upcoming week he will let me know things like:
A few weeks ago Ryan picked up this CD for Elle. I thought it was perfect since Ryan had to give up his Drum room/Man cave for the little one's nursery. This way he can still have a little bit of rock and roll in the midst of a sea of pink, crystals, and bows.
