August Showers
We had our baby showers over the weekend. I had a lot of fun. We got, I believe, everything we are going to need, plus money to get any thing we still need. He has quite an extensive wardrobe now. I don't think he's going to be able to wear everything. I'm going to have to change his clothes 5 or 6 times a day just to so none of the outfits go to waste. I didn't get any pictures, and the ones that other people took of me are frightening. If I come across any good ones of the cakes or decorations, I will post them.
My step-mom has come down with quite a scary illness. I woke up the morning of my showers and found a note my dad left that said he had taken Barnie to the Dr. She apparently has come down with either viral meningitis or West Nile, or both. And something is also wrong with her liver. It was obviously getting to my dad. Everyone was pestering him about why she wasn't in the hospital and why other tests weren't done, and antibiotics weren't given. How the hell is he supposed to know these things? He isn't a Dr, he just took her to one. She's not on the verge of death and until they find out the cause of her illness, there isn't a lot they can do. My brothers couldn't make it to the shower due to car troubles (car deaths, really), and obviously Barnie was too sick to make it to the other shower, so I got the impression that my dad was a little lonely. Vance and I hung out with him a little until he found other people to talk to.
I'm still blown away by everyone's generosity. These were people that we either don't know that well or haven't talked to in years, and they happily show up to a party and give us stuff. It's awesome.
In other news, I found stretch marks. Not on my belly or my boobs, but all over my ass. Purple ones. Out of no where. The upside it that I don't go around parading my bare cheeks. They can be my secret...
My friend is going to stop by on her way out of town, so I am going to blow dry my hair and straighten up a bit.
