In other news...We had quite the weekend. I started getting a cold last Friday (I was out at Disneyland with Kalen and the babies and just over exhausted myself) but it seeemed to go away by Monday. Then Tuesday I woke up and like couldnt swallow but didnt quite feel SICK yet, like entire body. Just my throat. By Thursday I was dying lol. I left early thursday and slept on and off the rest of the day/night. Friday was not any better so I again slept off an on until around noon. I got up at noon and went and had lunch with David at Red Robin and then got my brows did at the Benefit counter at Macys and picked up a new studio fix compact from mac (mine was empty except for the tiniest rim of powder at the edges lol). Then I went to Destination maternity and tried on basically their entire store haha. I couldnt decide what to wear to my shower. I wasnt sure if I wanted to be in casual or "dressier". Well, since I have dropped skirts look ridiculous on me. If I wear them ON my belly they puff out and make me look weird. If I wear them BELOW my belly then they are like half way off my butt and make my torso look super long and my stomach saggy lol. So skirts were out. Next I tried all their dresses and I dont know why but everything looked like a freaking potato sack on me. Definately not hugging curves in the right places. Im also really self conscience of my knees/thighs from my surgeries and scars so if the dress looked anywhere near remotely cute... it was to short and showed my scars and stuff. AHHH!
So finally I found a shirt in turquoise and a pair of kahki capri pants that were "dressier" and was satisfied but the ladies at the store were like... YOU HAVE TO WEAR PINK! YOU CANT WEAR BLUE!!! lol. So I bought the turquoise shirt... in hot pink. Not my favorite color. BUt I think the outfit worked well. It was very "spring time" with my white undershirt and white shoes. lol.
After all that I was so dead tired and like feverish I went home and laid in my shower for what felt like hours. Took a nap, and woke up around 6 when david got home. Lounged around and then went to dinner with his sister Jen and her boyfriends son over at TGI Fridays. After that I went back to bed lol.
Saturday was the shower. I didnt fall asleep until around 4:30am and I got up around 10am. Joe & Jill showed up around 10:30 and we wnet and got our mani/pedis at 11:15ish. Then I came home and jamie straightened out my hair for me because I was running late on time and didnt have the time (or patience) to do anything else to it. haha. I didnt my makeup in the car... thats how late we were running.
The shower was beautiful. We had 38 people there total (including me) and it was great weather. Warm, but a light breeze going. Lots of sunshine and everyone was super friendly. I was very happy that people were so talkative and social and seemed to be enjoying themselves. The only thing that would have made the shower better would have been me not having to blow my nose every 2.5 seconds lol. Other then that, it was honestly perfect.
We socialized and ate for an hour. Then played some games and ate cake while I opened gifts. Then I said thank you and people left at their own leisure. It was very relaxed and just perfect.
I cant believe how generous people were for gifts. I wasnt expecting ANYTHING (honestly) and so to not only get gifts, but to get gifts of such caliber? It was so nice. It just felt good to know that people support us and love us and love our daughter too. It was finally MY turn. 4 of the women there I had thrown showers for already lol so it was cool for the love to be given back, ya know? I cant even explain how grateful I am. And the gifts keeep coming lol. Stuff just keeps coming. People keep stopping by and I am so blown away by their generosity. Literally we have everything we need for Adella. She will want for nothing in these early years lol.
Then after the shower the "crew" plus my BIL/SIL and nephew went to Don Jose. Food was alright... not the best. The matsons food was not good so we had to get that taken care of. Im pretty sure I embarassed them by sending it back but seriously... Megan cooks all the time. When she goes out, and pays for the food... it should be a treat. Fully enjoyable. Not a disappointment. Ya know? If it sucks? Send it back and get something new or refunded. You can cook for yourself anytime at home... when you go out its a treat. lol. At least thats how I feel... and so by default my friends get to suffer the consequences when with me. They should know by now that if they dont want something said about their food they shouldnt tell me... cause I have a big mouth.
Sunday was church and I slept... alllll morning. I was up all night so when I finally fell asleep at 5ish in the morning David just let me sleep which was nice. Then at like 11:30 my mom came over and dragged my grandpa and I out with her to brunch with a bunch of her friends. I wasnt feeling well, but she begged lol. David joined us as soon as he got out of church.
Then we went home and slept all afternoon. Well, kinda haha. I dozed in and out. I wish sleep was normal again. However... I know that the only cure is to have her, and while my body might be able to sleep again once she is born it probably wont do me any good because Ill have an infant to tend to. So I guess this really is preparation for sleep depravation. Maybe I will get lucky and have a baby who sleeps thru the night (minus feedings) early on lol.
So today I am back at work. Tomorrow I work and then the Matsons & my BIL/SIL are coming for dinner. We want to see the fam before they head back to New Mexico on Wednesday and we have some business to discuss with the Matsons.
40 days to go until D-DAY!!
Hope everyone had a good and fun and safe weekend. Hope this week goes smoothly for ya!!
