i don't have pictures of all, but do have photos of some ...
from trishy:
i loved the way this gift was wrapped! it just screamed, open me, i'm a fun gift with cute paper and a lovely ribbon!
and inside, sweet aiden+anais swaddlers - love the one with cupcakes! and also organic petit bateau onesies in white and lavender. such sweetness.
then ... from christine's mom & grandma ...
an array of carter's outfits! two gowns for when she is a baby, a flip flop print dress and little ruffle-butt pants and tank for when she is one next summer, and (my favorite) a little osh kosh b'gosh overalls dress for when she is two. i have a feeling she'll be wearing those overalls every day!
from brook & marissa ...
the biggest box of the most helpful hand-me-downs ever!!! thank you baby jane for outgrowing all these goodies!! i only have my cell phone pics, but i hope you can see just how much they shipped!
this was when i was sorting it out by approximate size/age ... i just kept pulling more and more out of the neverending box!
plus there were hats, and socks, and swaddles, nursery needs (pacifiers, changing pads, nighttime washcloths) AND their baby bjorn carrier! i am so behind on my thank you notes (carpal tunnel!!), but owe a big fat 'i love you' to marissa!
and then check out this package from amber:
i cannot wait to put this little girl in that little swimsuit. and how darling is that dress? i feel like i am going to take 100 pictures of this baby per day. amber lives in maryland, so i love the way she incorporated the crabs and the beach, along with the red-white-blue theme of july into the package. and if that weren't enough, the ruby shoes (and the blue gingham cloth she wrapped the gift items in) have nostalgic value since amber and i both dressed as dorothy for halloween one year in college! hmm, wish i had a photo of that handy!
as for all the other gifts, i think i will have to take photos of baby larkin using her other goodies when she gets here! thank you so much for packaging up such lovely loot for the little one!
p.s. 9 days til due date
p.p.s. no, not ready!

btw, one of the quilts I sent you is 90 - 100 years old. Your Great-great Grandma Lucy made it and your Great Grandma Mabel probably helped. This according to your Great Aunt Karen. The other quilt was, if I recall correctly was made in the 1980's, I think. The photo of GG Mabel working on the applique is date-stamped, I think.
I'm so bummed that you got a bucket from someone else!!!! That was on my "to give" list... Oh well, I'm just glad you got one. :)
oh my goodness i love the little osh kosh b'gosh overall dress!
p.s. please take lots of photos of baby larkin in that red hat and adorable swimsuit!!
what the heck?! marissa sent you ALL THAT STUFF? YAY! Hopefully, you won't have to go shopping for a long time, huh? :)
awwwww everything looks adorable.
how are you feeling?
wow! such fun fun packages!!!! loved trishy's gift wrapping... i saw the bucket from amber at your front door on the 4th and assumed you were being cute and crafty - when in fact she had sent you the cutest package! and i love your dad's comment about the quilts, how awesome is it to have something so special?! i need pictures please!! and how sweet to get all the hand-me-downs!! so much love for lil baby girl larkin! you might not be ready, but i am! :) and my fingers are crossed so that you and elizabeth have the baby at the same time. i think that'd be so darn cool.
baby larkin is going to be quite the fashionista!! And don't worry, I didn't feel ready...still don't :)
