Baby Shower

I had my baby shower yesterday and it was great. I was surprised at how many people came, and overwhelmed with the presents for my little one. Everything is just so cute! We got tons of onesies, and the little sheep are too cute. Shawn has pictures on his zenfolio site (smseifert.zenfolio.com). Leah did a fantastic job organizing it. We had yummy food, fun games, and cute prizes. One of my midwife friends knitted the cutest little booties, and another got me a bib that says, "I'm special...a midwife helped me out." There was a great mix of people there, my cousin Leah, my sister-in-law Desiree, her daughter Ella, some friends from the teen clinic I work at, 2 former classmates, a current co-worker, a future co-worker, a former patient now friend, my neighbors, and an ER resident and her husband, a hand fellow (who stayed in the kitchen and helped Shawn.)


This is Roxann having guessed how big around my belly was within about 3 millimeters!

My friend Kathy is hopefully going to come over sometime next week and do a belly cast for me. Next Saturday Shawn has a spa day scheduled for a prenatal massage, a facial, and a pedicure. I can't wait!

I am in full blown nesting mode now. You should have seen the frenzied house cleaning that went on yesterday. I had the sudden urge to wash all the blankets, including my down comforter. I was also on hands and knees swifiting under the beds, and organizing all the closets in the house. It's a little bit crazy. Now that we actually have baby clothes, we need to wash them and find them homes in the nursery. That's on my to do list today, but I did so much yesterday that I have just been resting all day. I will muster up some energy to go to prenatal yoga tonight though. Gotta try to stay somewhat fit. I can't wait to be able to climb again.
