My Baby Shower....
was awesome!! I can't thank my family enough for throwing me such a great party! Thanks to Sara, Sue G, Sue Z, Laurie and Mary Ann ..and of course my mom. It was a great day - sunny and I'm just sad that it's over. It's like our wedding - you look forward to it for months and before you know it - it's over. It goes by so fast. Well...thanks to everyone who came..it meant a lot to have you all there! And...Zippy got the COOLEST stuff ever!! From the swing, to the stroller, car seat...fun baby outfits..bottles..sheets...books...handmade blankets (thanks Anne) and handmade quilts (thanks Lisa and Denice!) It was awesome! Now we are ready for the baby..officially! We have the crib sheets all washed - the changing pad on the dresser...the dresser stocked with sleepers, onesies, diapers, wipes, creams, lotions..and on and on. I am SO excited now...can't wait for this little one to make his/her grand entrance.
I had a Doctor's appointment on Friday - everything is looking good. In fact, I even lost a pound! Good news...I asked my Doc if it was normal that I have only gained about 3 pounds in the past 10 weeks and she said that it's totally fine and some women just gain most of their weight in the beginning and hardly any at the end. I had another stress test and it was funny because the baby was moving SO much it was hard for nurse Jan to get a good reading of the heartbeat...she said she has not seen a kid that active in a long time...she thinks that I am having a boy...hahaha Erica! Told You! Nurse Jan said boys are usually pretty active and considering this child moves around ALL of the time - I am with her and thinking boy too. Anyway - all is good with the baby and now all we will do is wait for the big day to get here!! YEAH!!!
FYI - I think that I am having a "problem" - I keep buying baby clothes online! I can't stop...I've gotten some adorable outfits for Zippy - gender neutral - very cute! Can't wait to start playing dress up!
I don't have any photos of the shower - yet because Jose took the digital camera to the Buick Open (Go Tiger!!) - and of course once he got there - no camera's allowed...so I am waiting for some of my friends to e-mail me some photos...once I have them I'll be sure to post some!
Have a great night!!

Oh it sounds like your shower was so much fun. I bet it was like Christmas opening all those gifts, aren't showers the best. Can't wait to see some of the stuff that you got, I bet your new little person is going to look so cute in his or her new duds. I am glad to know that you had a nice time, wish I could of been there, but it's fun to read about it, I could hear the excitement as you were writing it, I check your blog everyday.

Hope all is well.
