  • So the "surprise" shower was this past weekend. We are the proud owners of stuff for the baby that we will see when we move in the summer. Oh joy. But I wasn't excited enough about this stuff on the phone Sunday morning. All I got was a list typed in all captials that had descripitions like "outfit" "blue blanket" and other fun generic listings. So hopefully when the pictures of these items arrive I will be more excited. But man it would be even more exciting had I been there and gotten to be the one to open the stuff and touch it and see it and handle it and well take it home to touch and feel and all that even more. Big step of the baby shower missed out on there. Oh well I have my shower here this weekend to look forward to. At least I will get to open the gifts and touch and feel and take it all home with me from that one. For the other shower though now is the time to decide what we want them to return so that we can rebuy it out here to have when baby is new and needs it. Some things we aren't going to worry about till later like the highchair, booster seat (which we have 2 different ones), the swing, diaper pail and other such stuff. We have decided to make do without a diaper pail here as he is going to have diapers for a while so why not just have it when we get there. Yup all ready started saving the plastic bags for those fun things.


    My sister comes on Saturday. Yes that is right she is flying in the morning of the baby shower here. Figured that way it was over and done with and she and her friend can enjoy the week of their vacation without worring about that. It should be fun. I guess my mom has packed a suitcase full of stuff for the baby and is sending it with her. She says the suitcase is packed to exploding so I shouldn't be anywhere near it when opened. Mind you she als osaid that about the christmas box that they sent out but it wasn't as full to me as she said it to be. What ever. Then the major washing of stuff will begin after my sister leaves. I have started washing blankets and putting those away. This child will not need a blanket for a million years. Yes I have a ton of those. Oh well just means he will always have something fresh and clean to lay on. We need to get him a hamper for his clothes. I see laundry every day in my future. Hey it is all good. Every mother does it so why not me.


    Now if I could just sleep thru the night that would be awesome. Right now I am lucky if  I get 5 hours straight before I wake up to pee and then can't go back to sleep. Oh well. DH looked at me yesterday and said you look tired. DUH I am tired. I tried to take a nap and failed at that one. I laid on the couch with my eyes closed and slept for a little bit but it wasn't that good fall asleep that I have gotten in the past. It was more of an okay I am sleeping but not sleeping sleep that lasted maybe 30 minutes. Oh well. I think I might have to start napping upstairs in my real bed. Maybe I will nap longer if I do that. We shall see.


    All righty have a great week!!
