My shower was fabulous! Everyone was so generous with their gifts! I got some of the most gorgeous clothes. I didn't take too many pictures because I didn't get the chance, but my friend Lisa did and she's going to upload them into a Kodak album for me. I will post them then. I can tell you that baby girl is going to be one stylish chick! I have all these visions of our trip to the beach this summer with baby girl in her pink stroller, wearing a gorgeous sun dress with a matching hat!
I have been having some intense Braxton Hicks contractions, but only one or two a day. Some are painful, others I'm not even sure are definitely contractions. I had a dream that last night I lost my mucus plug. I think I am getting more and more eager to meet my precious daughter. James and I spent a lot of time in the nursery this weekend. We put up letters spelling her name, washed and put away clothes, hung other pictures, and just organized stuff. I love going in her room and looking around. We also bought ourselves some new bedding. The other set we had was expensive and nice, but it's dry-clean only. There are a few stains on it (some from me shaving, cutting myself, and sitting on the bed to comb my hair) that wouldn't come out at the dry-cleaners, so we figured it just wasn't practical anymore. I'm sure baby girl will spit up, poop, pee, or something on there!
I'd have to say that the real highlight of my weekend was getting puked on at Olive Garden on Saturday night! Some little kid projectile vomited on my shoes and purse. And although James says it didn't hit my pants, I am absolutely sure it splattered all over them (they were black at least). Maybe God was preparing me for things to come? I'm sure there's a lot more coming my way soon! The main thing that pissed me off was that throughout the endless stream of vomit coming from this kid's mouth, her idiot mom just stood there and let the kid puke in my direction. I was sitting on a couch and couldn't get myself up fast enough to get out of the way-- I'm not too quick at moving these days. How totally rude. She didn't even apologize! Sh%t happens, and so does puke, but for goodness' sake, MOVE AND SAY YOU'RE SORRY!

Posted by: Laura at March 6, 2006 05:50 PMYUCK!!! Oh my goodness, poor you ~ but especially, poor kid! That's awful! I can't believe that the mom just stood there. So glad that you had fun at your shower! Tell me all about it sometime! Can't wait to see pictures. I can just see you standing in your little girl's room, looking at everything and thinking about her arrival. Isn't it amazing? She'll be here soon!
Posted by: Lisanne at March 6, 2006 06:56 PMShe didn't even say sorry!? People are soo rude! Heck, I didn't do it and I am sorry! I think it's so great you had a good shower - I am getting very excited for you :)
Posted by: Linda at March 6, 2006 09:06 PMWow, I'd be doing everything i could to get my kid to puke in a different direction. I can't believe what some people will do. Sounds like you had a great time at the shower, congrats on all your stuff.

Posted by: alfredsmom at March 7, 2006 01:48 PMI can't believe she wasn't just gushing apologies; I'd have been so embarrassed if I was the mom.
Can't wait to see the shower pics!
