19 Pair

I was blessed with an enormous amount of baby stuff today. A friend of mine gave me a beautiful Graco pack 'n play that has a bassinet attachment (in pink of course!), tons of baby girl clothes (17 pants to be exact)...


and the greatest gift of all - 19 pairs of shoes in all styles, colors and sizes. If you know me, you'll understand why this was so exciting. I'm a shoe-lover (my nickname growing up was Imelda Marcos - who at one time owned over 3,000 pair of shoes). Matt was a little scared to see that our little girl will be starting off with more shoes than he's owned in his life. Writing on the wall?
It was such an unexpected gift and I'm so grateful for each item she passed along. I'm just amazed at how generous people are when you're expecting a child. To think, Matt and I were worried that we would have to spend money on things for the baby. So far, we've had to invest practically nothing. Praise God - He provides perfect for us!

Those shoes are so fun! My dad used to call me Imelda too :) I already struggle to keep Hannah's shoes down to reasonable. What a fun gift for you :)

Lee says the same thing about Isabel's clothes. She has more clothes then he does. What a blessing you guys received. You will enjoy dressing up your little one so much.
