Baby Shower and Lots of Visitors!

Today was a really fun day!  My sister had  baby shower for Avery for my side of the family, and we got to see lots of family and friends.  We pretty much had the whole Brekke clan up from Iowa.  It was so nice to see everyone.  They all came to the hospital today too to see Avery, and we were quite a scene! We didn't take her out of the nursery.  The nurses thought it might be too much with so many people, and we totally agreed.  So imagine everyone just peeking through the nursery window..it was pretty funny!  We got so many wonderful things, now we just need to get the little one home to use them!  We went to the hospital this morning before the shower, and Cullen stayed there with her.  Grandpa Dale and Cullen hung out with her all morning.  Cullen got to give her a bottle too, and she at nearly the whole thing.  Even though it was only like 60mL, it was a big deal!  The doctor saw her today also, and gave us another pretty good report.  We did the carseat test tonight, as well as hearing and she is good on both of those.  So it sounds like home could be in our near future!  I'm packing up tomorrow and will start staying overnight here, so that I can nurse her through the night.  They will give me a room, so that is nice.  Cullen will stop in and see us before school, and then come back over after.  It will be tough to be away from home, but so worth it to be near her, as leaving each night is still pretty hard.  We will do it this way until she gets to come home.
