So, this weekend was very busy for us. We had two parties to go to Saturday, and then had planned on going up to the cabin in the Poconos to drop off a table and a hammock. The table is making way for a pack n' play for the baby. I didn't want to wait too much longer to make the day trip, since sitting in the car is getting uncomfortable. Well, before my friends "Bar-b-q" at 3, Dan and I had to stop by my mom's to drop off something my step-father needed from Dan (he's a banker dude). So, I figured we'd go there about an hour early so I could float around in the pool for a few minutes before Alexa's B-b-q. When we pulled up, I saw my mom standing outside of the house, and my Aunt, who lives over four hours away, standing at the curb, talking to someone in a car. Well, I figured out that this was actually my shower, and I realised I had no make-up on, and told Dan to keep driving! LOL! I couldn't believe it! I was convinced that it was the following weekend, and that this was actually the day of Alexa's shindig. Turns out that it was all a plan to get me into the area. I didn't think I would be surprised, but they actually pulled it off! My other friend, Adrienne, had told me she was going to be down the shore until later that day, so it didn't occur to me that it would be that day, b/c I know she wouldn't miss my shower. Well played, girls!
It was so hot, and when I got into the house, everyone was sitting in the room with all the loot, and I was told to sit down and get the show on the road. It's a good thing I wasn't hungry! And I don't know what would have happened if the other half of the people that were invited had shown up! We were running out of room! The baby seemed excited, since he/she was kicking me the whole time I was opening the gifts! It made it quite difficult to lean over and reach for a gift. Crazy kid!
There were a few people I had expected to see there, and that was pretty disappointing, especially since some of them never even RSVPed. That makes me feel very unimportant, you know? You may think I take things too personally, but how else should I take it?
I got a lot of good stuff, though, and today my mother is bringing the rest of it up to me, since we couldn't fit it all in the car. We have a Jeep, but it was low on gas, and we were running late, so we took Dan's car. I can't wait to play with my travel system and pack n' play! And wash all of those cute clothes we got.
The second party we went to was still a real party, so at about 9, after I finally jumped in the pool to cool off, we arrived there to see some people I went to high school with. That was neat. As we were leaving, though, I turned my ankle going from the grass to the driveway, since it was rather dark, and I am clumsy these days anyway. I landed on my knee and braced myself with my hand, so it's not like I landed on my belly, but it was a little scary. Now, my ankle is just a bit achy and a little swollen, and yesterday it was very big, although I didn't notice that until we were up at the cabin, and I happened to look down. I even got Dan to take a picture of the feet to compare them! I'm strange.
So, there are no pictures from the shower yet, but when I get some, I'll put up a couple. Now I just can't wait to use all this stuff we got on Saturday! The baby will be here before we know it!
