Fun Weekend

I had a super busy weekend! And today I am chillin' out. In fact, it's 10 a.m. and I just got up and ate some breakfast.

Friday night, my best friend Steph and her mom drove down from VA. They came down b/c Steph and my sister Hannah were throwing me a baby shower on Saturday. So Friday night we had Steph, Mrs. Cuddy, Hannah, my brother Jarrod and his wife Calli over for dinner. Then Saturday morning we headed over to the compound (nickname for my parents 47 acres in the country) for the baby shower.

The shower was perfect! Most all of my friends were able to attend. There were about 20 of us. It was a luncheon, so my mom made mango chicken salad-yum!- and the Hannah and Calli made Sprinkles cupcakes- yummy! Emma Grace received tons of great gifts. We got a travel system stroller from my aunts & uncles. My mom and dad bought us a glider rocker for the nursery. It's black with black & white gingham cushions. Perfect! And SO many diapers! Steph's great idea of bring a pack of diapers, get registered for a door prize, worked!!! I know these won't last forever, but it's a really great start. After the shower I took a little snooze and then we all ate pizza and hung out.

Sunday morning my family met my brother Alexander in Raleigh for breakfast. He was catching a flight out to Colorado for a skiing trip. After breakfast we drove back to the compound and got ready for another shower! This was a bridal shower for my mom's friend's daughter. So we got all set up for that- shower was from 2:30-4:30. Then clean up and then I headed home!

I got home about 6 and sat in my chair and fell asleep until 8:30!!! Holy smokes! :) Probably could have just gone back to sleep for the rest of the night.

And so you see why today I'm taking a chill. Now for the regular person not pregnant, that weekend would have been nothing and being tired today probably wouldn't be much of a factor. But for me and Emma Grace- we're pooped!
