A selection of the messages of love and advice Carlin and Scott have received from friends and family both far and near....

Cannot wait to get the grabs on our great nephew too. I am sure Grandmother will want to put his picture up on her family board too. --Love Aunt Patty

We will not be able to join the live blog, but are sure that the shower will be so fun! Enjoy the time, hug and kiss Scott and Carlin for us!--Love Louise Miller and Anna Broome

I am so excited that our department is going to have another little mascot. Best wishes --- Julie Hakim-Larson

I love that couple very much and I am thrilled they are going to be parents soon. Thanks so much for organizing this. --Juliana

Just LOVE him with all your hearts, and don’t worry what others say!--Kim & Jason

The toys children usually like best are the ones that don’t cost anything at all (e.g., pots, pans, wooden spoons, and empty plastic bottles; be creative in coming up with ways for the two of you to still have quality time together--Liz

I am excited about your trip to Windsor and so pleased and grateful that you are doing this shower. It would have been wonderful to be there, but it is not to be. I am looking forward to "attending" the shower. --Lynne Jones

As long as love is your guiding light, all of the challenges of parentings will work out. -- Love, Franny

Babies can't talk, they communicate their needs through crying. Different tone/sound of crying means different need.--Amita

When the baby wakes up in the middle of the night, thank him for giving you the opportunity to spend some more time with him.--Ying Lu

I can not think of two people who are more deserving or suitable to bring children into the world and I wish all three of you all the happiness in the world.--Tobey Busch

Expect some good days and some not-so-good-days, but enjoy! enjoy! enjoy!. It's quite a ride -- hold on tight! All the best, Love, Dennis, Jill, Audrey, & Claire

I am sure you two will intuitively know the best care for that lucky babe of yours. Love & Light- Peggy & Bob Kirkland

Expect to be humbled by the challenges of learning to be parents. The less you try to control the natural uncertainties, confusion, and upheaval that becoming new parents brings, the better off you and your child will be.--Olga

Babies need a lot less stuff than the Baby’s R’Us clerks would like you to think...for the first few months they can travel to NYC with nothing more than a care seat, clothes, diapers, wipes and something to suck on. --Jen Kemp

But as a a mom (of four!) I feel I should probably add a little of what I've learned by much trial and error. Thank you for putting this together for those of us far away. --Vikki

Enjoy him and have fun. (I doubt this will be a problem!)--Anne Baird

Thank you for organizing this. I am sure she will love it. Always have a 2nd diaper bag filled and ready at the door for those unexpected “get up and go” moments...--Angela Papas

They grow up so fast! Enjoy!!!--Marcia

You’ll enjoy some of the stages young Miller will go through more than others...--Shelagh

We wish you much joy, love and patience as you embark on this next phase of your life together. --Love, Leigh Ann, David, & the boys
