So, on Monday March 16th, I showed up for jury duty. That day I waited around for quite awhile, and then I was given a questionnaire to fill out. I was told we had to be back Thursday at 8:30. We sat there until 2. Then they finally started jury selection, but stopped at 4. So then we had to go back Friday. And it took all day again. ANd I got picked. It is a case that will be 3-4 weeks. So no mission reunion for me, or Easter in AZ. Or Spring Break. It is an interesting case, it is civil. At least I still get a paycheck, unlike some of the jurors. So here I am, juror #1.
The blessing is that I met Pamela. She has an 8 month old daughter. We had lunch with a group of people. She found out I was expecting and offered a bunch of stuff. I went to pick it up Sat. night. It was amazing. There was a $180 Eddie Bauer bassinet, a sweet peace $180 swing, a $199 pump, and a 50 dollar one. Also an Eddie Bauer infant travel bad that folds up, a large bather for the baby, bottles, white baby tennis shoes, a ton of clothes and swaddlers, and some maternity tops!!! I looked at the websites of these products. Before all the baby and maternity clothes it comes out to $700!!! Here is the loot!!! She also said if I have a girl she has tons more stuff for me. She wouldn't take any money. What a nice lady!!! The people you meet at jury duty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had that same bassenet. I loved it!! Abigail (who was born 11 weeks early) slept in it until she was 9 months old. It was the most fabulous gift that I ever received when I had a baby. Enjoy it!
I just love when I meet nice people like that. You were blessed to get jury duty!
great stuff , Kimberly!! So glad to have nice people who help out my kids!! Teaches us that we need to give to others more.. Love you, mom
Wow! You did get the loot (or jackpot since you are in Vegas). Good luck with jury duty!
Wow that is so awesome, I wish that I had jury duty, or at least a rich friend who could give me all that stuff :) Hope you have a fun learning experience with jury duty, I have always thought on some level that I would like to do it just to see what it was like.
That is karma for not trying to get out of jury duty. Very nice. Hope all is well.
Nathan
that is great!
