People are so nice!

I am in the primary presidency in my ward. Well, the president and one of my visiting teachers put together a baby shower for me. I felt very silly, because people normally don't have baby showers for 3rd and 4th babies. However, they were very kind and wanted to help since I was caught unprepared. I mostly received diapers and baby hygiene items, but that is what I need! 

I'm just overwhelmed by the generosity of people in my ward. I've had so many women offer their services for babysitting. I've had them offer their daughter's services. In fact, I have two girls that come over for an hour every Wednesday so I can run errands! I have never felt so much love from a ward. 

My mother has been amazing and come to help at least 3 days every week so far. She has no plans of stopping anytime soon, which is such a blessing. She makes sure I have a decent dinner and even takes care of days she won't be there! She entertains Richard and Audrey and helps bounce Peter and Marie. I would be drowning without her! She has been a lifesaver. I can't say enough how much I appreciate her attention to me. My sister is also coming to help, which is a huge sacrifice for her since she has four of her own children at home.

I just want to thank those who've made the birth of Marie and Peter less overwhelming and not a sanity breaker. I thank Heavenly Father for blessing me with such a great husband, fantastic mother, and wonderful ward. My siblings have done what they can with their resources and time and I'm so appreciative of that. I hope to be able to pay attention to other people's needs as well as my needs have been noticed.
