Shower #3

Today, we had our third and final shower from James's co-workers. It was supposed to be Monday, but someone at work passed away, so they were at the funeral and had to reschedule. We got some lovely gifts, surprisingly, all stuff we needed. We have gotten so much already, I was worried that we'd get some doubles, but we got some new stuff: Baby Einstein DVD's, a rattle, disposable diaper bags, candles/lotion for me, a mirror that attaches to the side of the crib, a dress for when she's a bit older, and more. One of the neatest things was this "bouquet" made from lacey socks. As much as I want to use them, I'll keep it the way it is for now. It's a cute decoration! I wish I was more creative.

Tomorrow, my mom is planning to take me to Peachtree City, a suburb of Atlanta for Thai food (maybe the spices will activate some contractions) and shopping. If I am fortunate enough to go into labor in the 5 hours we are gone, we can be home in 90 minutes tops. Maybe going out of town will tempt fate enough to put me in labor? :-)

Im torn about baby showers. I am so happy that you have had 3 WOnderful ones and they all look like good times. Besides my office ( most likely) throwing me one, that will be my only one. Im not really close to the other military wives/women in the band and although they offered to throw me a shower, it would have been WAY awkward for me since I dont know many of them. So hearing about yours makes me a little envious but hey, I'll be ok! ;)

( Gah, do I sound like a brat or what?)
