I have so many pictures to post of all of our amazing baby gifts from the shower on Sunday, so I will work on those for next post. For now, I did put some up on facebook and a few friends have tagged me in their pics as well.
Sunday was Shower #2 hosted by Annie and Laura. It was such a great time, I don't even know where to start! Aside from the blinding heat, it couldn't have gone better. They decorated a room at the Weathervane (one of my very favorite restaurants) with the cutest stuff... Beautiful flowers and lots of aquatic decorations that now look perfect in the nursery! We had delicious food (fried green tomatoes!) and I opened about a thousand baby presents :-)
Once again I am more than touched with how thoughtful and supportive my friends and family have been. I've had 2 showers now and my heart is full of gratitude to those who have been there to celebrate with me. Most of those who weren't able to attend even sent gifts and sweet notes. While gifts and even attendance is never necessary, I am truly, well, touched that people care so much for me. Yes, emotional Laura is here again. I've tried to convey this, but can never quite get the words out right... So, to those of you who have been there to celebrate with me, I cannot thank you enough. I have experienced such sadness since my brother passed away, so to be able to celebrate this baby and to have you all excited and ready to be there for me during this pregnancy has truly been amazing. You have made my joy and happiness spread and I am moved by your love and support.
Like I said, I've tried to get that out, but I am even crying now just typing it, so hopefully most of you will just read that, haha.
I am currently working on Thank you notes and definitely taking things a little more easy this week. I about killed myself Friday and Saturday working on the house and I've decided it's not worth it. I can and should leisurely take care of the house- since Eric and I are not dirty people- and try to relax for these next few weeks.
I visited the Ob today for my normal appointment and got to meet another fantastic midwife. So that makes 3 of the 4 pretty awesome... the 4th is great too, but she was the one that was a bit pushy. Turns out the one I really did not like and her trainee are not a part of the midwifery program, so I don't have to see them anymore anyways! (If I wrote that last week, I apologize for the repeat.) Next appointment I'll meet the final midwife and then go to weekly appointments for the rest of the pregnancy. Baby Dean is measuring perfectly, my blood pressure is great, no weight gain for a few weeks and his head is down... which explains the bladder pressure... joy.
Eric and I are working on hanging some shelves and decorations in the nursery this week and I will post more pictures in a few days. For now, I'm hoping for less heat and more sleep.
And to wrap up... many many thanks to my wonderful friends and family... You know who you are... :-)
