So most everyone always knows that great feeling of opening the mail box and seeing a Flat Rate box that you weren't expecting at all. You take a look at the return addy and relize I've been bombed. You cut into the box like a kid on Christmas wondering o what could it be and you are just filled with joy over what is inside and that this individual took the time to think of you. In my time here I have been very lucky to have had this experience many times over the years and this feeling never gets old.

We'll this has happened to me again today but this was the most diffrent bomb I have ever received here on CP. As I get the box inside I immediately recognize the return addy culprits so I cut the box open and on top is a card to my wife and I with a very lovely message inside. As I stand in my kitchen digging threw the endless amount of contents in the box this bomb has actually brought a tear to my eye. As most of you know my wife is pregnant and due with our first child a baby girl in December. This bomb was was all about that. When I arrived home from Kris's house tonight I handed her the box and had her reopen it as well so she could experience that joy we all know about. She could barely get threw it before shedding a tear as well.

As we sat on the couch this evening looking all all this baby stuff we were just in awe that someone would be so kind to think of us and send us these things.

I have made alot of friends here on CP and I call you all family. Some of you we just talk and bullshit here on the site or Facebook and alot of you I have shared a meal with or hang out with as much as we can. It's amazing the group of people that is here and we are all very lucky to have this place we call home.

Josh and Bri,
Kerry and I can't thank you enough for the amazing gift you sent us. Shock and awe doesn't even describe our reaction when this arrived. When she was first pregnant my feeling was kind of blah. Excited but not that life changing feeling new parents get when a baby is on the way. When we found out it is a girl that is when it really hit for us especially me and words really can't describe that feeling but I'm sure you two know what I'm talking about. Kerry hasn't received any baby gifts yet from friends or family so this was the first thing we have opened for the baby and when we both sat there looking at all the pink stuff I had that amazing feeling again!

Thank you so much,
Paul and Kerry Harrison

PS the daddy proof Onesie is awesome!
 
I'm so happy to know that you two enjoyed it so much! We had a lot of fun picking them out and remembering (at the store) all the crap that we thought we needed and then never used lol It also reminded us of pregnancy and just feeling so excited and so lost/overwhelmed all at the same time. It amazes me that we made it this far haha. Finding out the sex definitely made it more real for us, but her being born was so surreal and took a bit to realize, oh wait, she's mine lol Hopefully the hitchhikers didn't get banged up in there; ran out of room for extra padding. Best of luck to you two on the adventure of babyhood ;) :D

The over the top hitchhikers made it with no issues.

Thank you again they will be enjoyed for sure. If you three ever find yourself in New England you let us know and dinner is on us!

Glad to hear everything made it safe and sound and that you and Kerry enjoyed it as much as we did putting it together. Bri said it pretty well for both of us.

I have to admit I had pretty much the same experience as you when I found out Bri was pregnant. Felt Blah, the reality of her pregnancy didn't really hit me until the ultra-sound where we found out we were having a little girl. I really wanted a little girl so finding that we were having one brought it all home for me. The realization of what that really meant didn't happen until we were in the hospital delivery room and I got to hold her for the first time. For the first few days (possibly weeks) I kept looking at our daughter in disbelief that she was really ours.

I am honestly surprised that Bri never got that daddy proof shirt for our daughter but she did threaten me a few times with it.

Hope you cherish the experience as much as we did and enjoy your wife and what shes going through. From what Bri had to deal with I'd have to say women truly are stronger and more amazing than we give them credit for.
