I'm going to go pregnant lady crazy on UPS tomorrow morning If my person doesn't get her package tonight. Damnit I'm pissed!!
So at 11pm DH goes downstairs to get the laundry and what does he come across in the hallway? Why our Secret Santa package of course! (We must have a late night UPS guy because it was not down there when he put the laundry in an hour before!)
Oh my goodness karissamonzo I do not even know what to say! Your kindness and generosity is beyond compare, I seriously am teary eyed and have no words! My husband and I (and LO) cannot seriously thank you enough! Your gift was more than generous and every item is so thoughtful and adorable! You seriously went above and beyond! You even packaged it in PINK popcorn! I am at a complete loss for words and cannot thank you enough! Wow, just wow, karissamonzo, you are the greatest secret Santa and I am sure your LO is in for some amazing Christmas' to come!
Without further ado' the presents! Not only an adorable pink sleeper but a bath robe, Baby Einstein books, some hot chocolate and a neck pillow!
Excited for this to go out today! To my recipient - I totally spaced putting a note inside until after I sealed the package (pregnancy brain?) so our bump names are on the back and here's what I would have written on the card if I'd thought to include one:
"Congratulations! I'm so excited for our LO's coming next Spring. I hope you and your husband have a fantastic holiday season in anticipation of the fun that next year will bring. Merry Christmas!"
Aww, YAY @hvmom2b!! I'm so happy you like them. I completely forgot the card - I was all cheesy and said, "Merry Christmoose", but I guess that's a pregnancy brain thing. My DH actually picked out the onesie - he wanted to send your baby a Maine gift. I'm glad he picked the moose rather than lobsters...

That's awesome, Maine is the best! Not that I've ever lived there, I just really like it.
@wifeofacomposer what can I do to get a hat and booties for my LO from you? I really wanted to make some myself but your work is soooo gorgeous and I am almost certain my fetus will be an adult by the time I can crochet like you (I am a BEGINNER beginner)

@deidremaria - Thank you so much!! You can send your information to me in a private message, and let me know what you're color preferences are. I'll be super happy to make something for your little sweetie!!

My secret Santa gift came in and I am so moved by my secret Santa's gifts. Thank you @sking72!!! I love everything you picked out. Love love love the Minnie Mouse and Marie outfits! So cute! The little pink Oakland Raiders booties brought me to tears! You are so thoughtful! Merry Christmas! Thanks for the cozy slipper socks and foot cream too!
@porterlove525 and @aviola329 - I only recently started crocheting blankets. I started crocheting hats back in February, and they are always improvised because I can't follow patterns. Crocheting is what saved me from my dark thoughts after we lost Hen. That's why I call the hats "Hen's Hats". I also sculpt, and right now I'm working on a large Father Christmas sculpture, and I'm crocheting a patchwork cloak for him. Unemployment isn't so bad...

Hopefully your receiver will post and you can let them know then that it's from you that's what I plan to do if for some reason my note doesn't come through with my gift (since I shipped directly to my draw).
