My friend Andrea threw me a baby shower this weekend, it was everything that I had hoped it would be, a small group of important women in my life, good food and fun games and so much fun. So many things that I have saved over the last 4 years I wont be able to use and many of the things that I got rid of, I wish that I hadn't.
I got many of the items off my registry which is great for me because once Marc moves out next month I don't want to have to go to him to buy stuff for the baby.
I did go off to Babies r us and buy some of thie things that I didn't get but will need for sure, another ear thermometer, nipples for the bottles, a baby bath and a very cool diaper bag which I need to pack. I also need to pack a bag for Allie with a few outfits, a pair of P.J's and a swimsuit in case I go into labor and need someone to watch her.
My gripes:
My parents, here are relatively nice people who adore being grandparents. But they are very judgemental and sometimes mean. I took a few hours off to get a pedicure on Friday, and being 33.5 weeks pregnant, working a full time job, taking care of a 3.5 year old BY MYSELF before and after work, doing the cleaning and also being a high risk pregnancy I FRIGGIN DESERVED TO GET A PEDICURE, so I had mentioned that I was getting one to my mom, and on Saturday I took Allie to Garage Sales (she LOVES to do this), for 10.00 I got 2 sets of identical Minnie Mouse sheets, complete with comforters and minnie mouse shaped pillows. I calle dmy dad and told him and mentioned that there was a small rip that maybe mom could repair, and he said maybe I need to learn to do some sewing, to which I replied "yeah, I'll fit it, what with all the free time I have", and he said :maybe you should do that instead of getting a pedicure. I was PISSED at this point and said well I though doing a little something nice for myself as a late mothers day gift was something that would help my stress level and I thought I deserved it. I quickly got off the phone and other than handing allie the cell phone yesterday I haven't talked to either of my parents. They can call me if they want to chat, I usually call them because Allie wants to chat with them, they rarely call me, so I am going to wait it out, lets see how long it takes for them to call and check up on us.
Sorry that was long, I don't like to rag on my parents to my friends and figured anybody reading this could skip over it if I bored them.
I have for sure decided to name the baby Joshua and call him Josh. Allie is more and more excited. Yesterday I taught her how to put a diaper (newborn sized) on her cabbage patch kid, other than pulling the legs so high up that the baby is standing on her head while she places the diaper under the butt, she is very good at it. She will be a terrific Big sister and my only fear is that she will be jealous. After all she is my fist baby and my girl and after spending almost 4 years with just her I couldn't love her anymore than I already do and that will never change.
Thats it for now, I am trying to get my picture posted, I have sent it like 10 times
Talk to me,
Liz
