Baby Shower

Dear Dillon and Noah,
     I'm not sure if these will be your names or not because your parents haven't decided for sure but I'll call you that until I know otherwise! Yesterday was your baby shower and it was very exciting to see your mom holding up your new outfits and picturing you both wearing them, and wondering what you'll actually look like! We'll all have our fingers crossed that you'll both be OK. It's been a long haul for your mom so far carrying you both but it'll be worth it!
     You got some great things at the shower besides clothes, like diapers! Even some premie ones in case you come out a little too early. I think you'll really enjoy some of them, especially the jogger Uncle Joe and I bought for you. I personally plan on lots of walks with you both when I come over to visit and help out, especially when your mom has to work and Dad needs some extra help. I know he's going to be a great father to you both. I remember how excited he was the first time he saw the ultra sound and could actually see you both in 3D when you were just a couple of months along!
Your Grandpa K and Grandma K were at the shower. Grandpa was the only male besides your dad. The men weren't invited because...well, I don't know, but I guess I can assume it's a leftover sexist tradition that will hopefully be extinct by the time you guys get to read this-and hopefully you will be open-minded and help stand up for equal treatment of men and women. (I can help in that department to guide you in the right direction..he...he....!)There is still so much sexism out there and that is why I was particularly glad your grandfather went to this event! Even though he wasn't invited! Anyway, I'll get off my soap box.
   Also present at your shower were your maternal grandmother (Nana) and Nancy R, Nancy J, a female cousin Chris, several nurses that work with you mom, one friend and her baby that had to leave early (I have pictures)and Loretta and her baby. She was pregnant with her second baby but I couldn't tell. I just thought she was fat. Grandma K asked her if she was pregnant and she said she had swallowed a watermelon.
    The party was at cousin Nancy R's cousin's house(your mom's side) and there was a huge pool. I went swimming, so did your brother Nick and dad, and your grandpa too! Whoops, Grandpa didn't swim he says, he ate instead (too cold)
So now your mom is on bed rest until you guys are good and cooked in the oven. So until then, mes neveux!
