Successful Weekend!

I had such a great weekend, although it was so tiring!

Saturday was my surprise baby shower. Although I'm not sure how much of a surprise it really was since I knew so much about it - minus the date and time. haha. Casey and I got so many amazingly thoughtful (and useful!) gifts for Haley. I can not thank every one who helped out with the planning and the day itself for everything that they did for us. Casey and I are so grateful to have such wonderful family members.

Some of the things we got included, a jumper, highchair, mattress, lots and lots of clothes!, a bookshelf full of books. Once we started getting things organized, I plopped myself on the floor next to the bookcase and started checking out the books. Everyone was supposed to write a note inside for Haley. I was reading all the different notes to Casey and there we sat, crying. We bought a couple of books ourselves afterwards to add to the collection immediately and wrote notes ourselves. So of course, we were crying at those too! Finally Casey said, "I think we need to get used to the fact that we are having a daughter otherwise we are never going to stop crying." It was sweet.

Sunday was a day of cleaning and organizing, etc. We returned some items and got a whole bunch of other stuff. It was so much fun shopping for her! Once all the bedding was washed and put into the crib, I'm pretty sure I stood there for quite some time just staring at it. I can't believe how soon she'll be here.

I'm so grateful for everything we got this weekend. =]

Something To Do..

At least this gives me something to do while I am "working".

Tomorrow I have my 31 week appointment with the doctor. This is the first appointment that Casey won't be going with me to. My mom is going to go instead since she also has a doctors appointment across the street a little while after. I'm sure it will be my usual 5 minutes in and out of there. Although maybe this time, I should ask some of the questions I've been wondering about. I always get there ready to ask questions and then I guess I just get overwhelmed and forget.

A day closer to this stupid week being over. I have had a terrible week so far and just want it to end. Yesterday wasn't so bad, until the dog ran me into a car and then I broke a fork when I was cutting through lasagna. who breaks a fork on lasagna?

First Post

Well, this is probably something I should have started sooner if I wanted to update people on the progress of our pregnancy. Better late than never, I guess!
