The "After" Party

What better way to get rid of balloons than to play the classic Bozo Balloon popping game? So we had time to spare before we had to leave--it was great fun!

I had my first shower for little Monster on November 7. What perfect weather and company we had! The following pictures show a bit of what the shower was like. What isn't shown is the craziness that happened-- did we expect anything less from Keri and family?!? I LOVED IT! Thank you so much for all of the time and hard work you all put into it!

Keri's Crazy! (I think that is why we are such great friends!)

This coming Saturday will be a blast! Jeff and I are thrilled to have Keri flying in from Virginia to host the friends baby shower for us! I thought that Keri was crazy when she emailed me saying that she wanted to throw me a baby shower. It shows me that Keri hasn't changed! She is still the craziest and generous friend that she use to be--just lives 12 hours away. I am looking forward to spending time with many friends on Saturday morning. The guest response looks great and reminds me that Jeff and I are so blessed to have a ton of support from friends all over!

Monsters Inc.

I am not sure when we started calling Baby Sets "Monster", but it has been around for months now! Rachelle, a good friend at work, and I were obsessed with cute baby monster things. It started with towels and then we found the cutest monster Halloween costumes...Baby Sets just became "Monster"! (nothing against him! he has been really good to me the whole pregnancy so far!) Since then, I have found many more monster items, monster clothes and even the cutest cartoon looking monster stuffed animals everywhere!

Still On the Run!

I survived getting the flu from our own house! Jeff is feeling pretty good now and hasn't been contagious since last week Thursday. Friday after work, I decided to stop into my PCP Office to try my chances of getting the H1N1 Vaccine. I walked in thinking "what am I doing? there are so many people her with runny noses, sick kids running around everywhere and coughing up a storm! I'm just asking to get sick!". I walked up to the sign in desk and asked if they had their supply yet. She told me that they were suppose to get it that day, but didn't see that it came in. She also said that when they do get it, they will be giving it to their OB patients first...I was thinking, "yea, and that's why I am here" as I pulled my scarf away from my belly. She didn't realize that I was expecting. After that, she went to the back with the nurse to check on the supply...walked back to where I was and told me to come on back to get my shot!!! They got it about 5 o'clock that day. She mentioned that their whole staff hasn't been vaccinated yet, but gave it to me anyways. I am on day 4 of having the shot...If I can hold out for about 4-5 more days without the flu catching me, I should be in the clear!!! Until then I will keep being my paranoid self and continue to wash my hands like crazy and will Clorox everything in sight!
