Hey, I had showers given for me with my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th!!! For the last one, everyone got me boxes of diapers, which was really nice. They really just wanted an excuse to have a party, but I really appreciated it. And yes, I get so excited I call my friend to tell her all about it. She's always excited for me and calls to see how I'm coming. You should consider posting partially done quilt pictures so we can follow along.!
