Today is my Windsor shower and I'm not too nervous - yet. Jake left to meet his mom at the hall to help her set up. He'll be at the shower with me the whole time, and people are acting like that's the most bizarre thing in the world. The last few wedding and baby showers that I've been to have been attended by the groom or father-to-be, so I didn't think it was a big deal. It's his baby, too!

Jake's stepmother just called and asked me if Jake's dad had told us what they're doing for the baby. His dad hasn't said a word. So she told me that they are going to start an education trust fund for Gertie. I am so unbelievably thankful for that gift. I always wished I had something like that set up for me and I always swore that I would do it for my child. I don't want her to have to worry about being able to afford to go to college.
