Blessing My Baby

I am getting so excited for Sunday (technically tomorrow, although this is still Friday night for me... it is 1:49 AM and I just tucked my baby and my baby's daddy in bed). We are going to be blessing our first baby boy in Sacrament meeting. Today I went out with my mother-in-law and purchased the absolute cutest baby tuxedo for the occasion. I have been looking forward to buying those kinds of things for him ever since I found out that I was having a boy.
We found the tux (I wish I could have purchased about 3 other formals along with it, but this was the best of the best) and then we asked if they had shoes to go with it. The closest thing they had was about twice the size of his little foot. Then we went to another store to look for shoes and the closest thing they had was little white baby booties, so we bought those. Then as we were about to leave the mall, I saw a Payless Shoestore and I decided to give them a try.
*Tah-Dum!!!* BINGO *cheering and applause*
I was so excited I could hardly contain myself. Tomorrow we are going to try to get some pictures of C.J. showing off his new threads. Last time we went to get pictures of him, he cried every time we put him down. We'll see if he is a little less clingy now.
I have had so many people trying to talk me out of having the blessing day be this Sunday; they are saying that it will be too much or that I won't be able to handle everything because I am still recovering from the surgery and everything or that I am not going to be able to enjoy everybody being there. I even have had a family member offer not to come at all "out of respect for [me] and [my] feelings." I just wish that everybody would trust me to make my own decisions about what I want and can handle. I am still recovering, but I feel like I can handle this thing. I am a pretty layed back person (most of the time) and I am not worried about everything going "perfectly" or being the "perfect" hostess (I know my limits and I know I need to take care of myself enough so that I can be a good mother and wife). I also do really well around people and I feel like it is good for me to be socializing right now instead of feeling sorry for myself. And I really prefer to have my whole family together to support the three of us. Anyway, I guess I don't want to try justifying myself to myself any more.
Suffice it to say that I can't wait to show off the new love of my life.
