What a Wonderful Weekend!

Guess what?! My table finally came! Yeah, it was supposed to be here in March, but they were running late, apparantly. And, we're still waiting for the bench to complete the set, but I LOVE IT! I was a little worried that I wouldn't like it once it got here, but it is really beautiful!!! Now, I really want to paint the kitchen and hang some cute stuff on the wall and then I will have one room completed! Amazing! Thanks for the awesome gift, Louis!

Saturday was so wonderful. I had been looking forward to it all week! Donna is an angel. She put together a baby shower for me but it was more like a MONSOON! Everyone was so thoughtful and generous and I had such a fun time eating, laughing, visiting with friends, being spoiled by wonderful gifts, and eating some more! Here are some pics of all the fun. A HUGE thanks to everyone. I went home feeling so loved and Louis about fell over when I showed him all the nice new things for our little baby. I think it's finally starting to sink in for both of us now.


I also learned that I am so not photogenic! Ok, I knew that before, but really! Yikes! Anywho.... these pictures make me laugh because when people were asking me what I needed, I couldn't think of things. It has just been so long and I had no clue. So finally I was shopping for a friend of mine and I started to think of some things, and the next day Gwen called me and asked me what I needed and I told her: baby hangers. Yep that is what I need! So there they were, I was so surprised! That morning before I left for the shower I was telling Louis how I couldn't think of things to tell people and I said to him, "Duh! I need a diaper bag. Why didn't I think of that?" I needn't have worried. Donna thought of it. And a whole lot of other things, too! :) Thanks, ladies!!!

And I was so happy that Squirmy and Lily were able to come up and spend the day with us. I just love those two. Aren't they the cutest? I quite enjoyed snuggling Lily Pie as the shower was winding down. Even Donna got some snuggle time in and agrees that she is the snuggliest baby ever.
While I was partying with all the girls and babies, my kids took Louis, grandpa and Uncle Jake and Josh to see How to Train Your Dragon in 3-D. They said it was awesome. I am so glad they finally went. Charles has talked of nothing else since it came out. It was a wonderful day and I appreciate all of the wonderful people who came to support me. I even got to end it with a new haircut. Ah. Nothing is more relaxing and refreshing!
Today I was a little bit stupid. I walked to church and as we were getting close to the doors, Gwen pulled into the parking lot and went running for the door. We have this little competition to see who can get to church first being loving neighbors and all, so of course I couldn't just let her win. I took off running, too! I even beat her inside the door, barely. It was pretty funny and took me a bit to quit laughing and catch my breath. Then I sat down and realized, that probably wasn't the smartest thing to do at eight months pregnant. I hurt so bad the rest of the day! I have a check up tomorrow, I hate to have to admit my stupidity. Here's hoping that I'll heal in time for Women's Conference this weekend! (and be allowed to go....)
