I told Tim that my life was pretty boring right now... he gave me a look that said I should reconsider. I think he was more referring to Christian, but I guess I do have some good things going on! Chris is pretty mellow and doesn't really cause much excitement these days. We are in our waiting period... with around ten weeks to go things are pretty much routine for the two of us right now.
I did have a baby shower at work on Thursday... which I neglected to tell everyone about. It was very sweet of them to think of me! Not everyone could attend, but I was so glad to have so many people sending us warm wishes! I really love the school that I work at... the people are very sweet and always looking out for each other! I got some wonderful gifts at the shower too! I think I am going to do a special post of the cool things that Christian has managed to accumulate... there is too much of it to discuss now! We also had a yummy cake and took some pictures that I will try to put up!
Friday I had two ingrown toe nails fixed. (I told you lots of exciting things going on...) It was actually a pretty amusing experience! The nurse was not the usual nurse and she was really freaked out that I was pregnant. The doctor was fine with it (as was my OB) but for a little while I wasn't sure she was going to let him fix my toes!! Chris didn't help things by moving constantly. I was afraid she would see my stomach moving and go running for the hills!! Eventually she allowed the doc to get started and I even made it to lunch with Laura, Nina, Jen & Lucy!
Lunch was fun... Nina ate cheese. I am pretty sure she ordered tacos or something but all I saw her eat was cheese!! Jen is making Christian two quilts so we went to the store to pick out fabric. I am really excited about the quilts. She makes such pretty things!! I am glad that Christian will have them to use and as a keepsake! The fabric is really cute and I know that when she is finished they will be gorgeous! Laura and I also bought fabric to make little flannel blankets. Jen showed us how and I actually sewed some of Christian's myself! Needless to say I am very proud of this blanket and took it with me all weekend to show people!
Friday night we made the blankets and I was at Jen's for cake and ice cream to celebrate Laura's birthday. I also got to spend a little time with little Miss Lucy and she was a gem! My parents are finally home from Florida. They got home late Friday and I thought for sure my mom was going to miss meeting Lucy again. Luckily Jen and Laura were nice enough to say that she could come over and visit on Saturday before the Cooke crew headed out of town. I am pretty sure my Mom is in love with Lucy. She was on her best behavior and charmed my mom like only Lucy can do! I know she is really looking forward to Chris getting here now that she had a taste of baby!
Saturday Tim had to write a paper so we hung out at my parents house while he did that. Then we went to the furniture store and I picked out my rocker! It is a glider and it swivels. (That means it goes in circles and it goes back and forth) At first I didn't like it very much.... but Tim convinced me and now I can't wait to get it in the nursery! We also picked out a small table for the lamp to go on. Once those things get in the room there will be NO room for anything else! It is a tiny room, but he is a little guy so hopefully he will be happy in it! After picking out furniture Tim and I went out to dinner with Grandma & Dad. We went to Grumpy's which was really yummy. If you have never tried sweet potato fries I highly recommend you do so very soon! I am a huge fan and was really excited when I saw them on the menu! Originally we were supposed to go to a carnival with Russ and Ann after the dinner, but I was exhausted so Tim brought me home and I went to bed!
Sunday was another busy day... Tim had class but only until noon. My mom came and got me so that we could go to Target. I picked up a Boppy and a bottle warmer while we were there :) Then I came back home to meet up with Tim. We went to see Alyse at Dead Freddy's in Bel Air. We had never been to Dead Freddy's before.... although I am not crazy about the name.... the restaurant is really cute! They have seating outside, under a patio covering, and inside. The neatest part was that instead of serving you glasses they give you little mini pitchers. For pregnant ladies that drink a lot this is perfect! Alyse and I exchanged baby gifts (she is having her baby any day now!) and she picked out some really cute things for Christian!!
After meeting up with Alyse we headed to the mall. We went to Macy's because I had a gift card that I had been dying to spend. Christian got more really cool things which I will tell you all about at another time and then we headed to Barnes and Noble. Tim has to read The Bridges of Madison County for his class.... I find endless amusement in this because it is a love story and he is really not enjoying it. After our errands we went to the 5:30 Mass at St. Frances. We usually do not go to the Byzantine Mass, but it was confirmation for Russ so we were excited to attend! After mass we went grocery shopping at Wal Mart. Which was lots of fun except here it is Monday and we are already almost out of milk... Tim is going to kill me if I don't stop drinking it all. He never gets any milk because I always finish it first :) Maybe we should start buying two gallons at a time....
I think that is about enough for now! I am sleepy and it is almost past my bedtime! (8:30)
