The trip to NY went really well. The planes were full so I was warmer than I wanted to be, but over all the flights were smooth, the layovers were uneventful and there weren't any delays... even getting back into Dallas where it has been raining for what seems like forever! The weather this year is the exact opposite of last year and quite honestly I'm very glad about it. I love rainy days! :D
The shower was wonderful! My family and friends totally blew me away with their generosity. I'm still overwhelmed by it all.
C painted the baby's room and b/c of the generosity we received in NY, we are able to order all 3 pieces of furniture we want for the room. We wanted to go do that on Saturday, but the store has a coupon that starts on July 23rd so we are gonna wait to use that for it. I'll be sure to take pics once that is all set up. I'm getting pretty excited about it and so is C. He was really bummed that we have to wait to use the coupon. If we weren't going to save a significant amount of money... I think he would have just ordered it anyway.
When I got back, I had a NST (non stress test) on Thursday and a sono on Friday and all is A-OK with the lil bean.
We have a home project in the works, I'll try to take before, during and after pics. I'm really hoping to have it done in the next week or two. Course, I'm not doing the work... that is gonna have to be all C, I'm just 'supervising'. :D
I've been 'tagged' to do a 7 things you didn't know about me blog... I'll work on that and hopefully have it up for you soon.
Now to leave you with some pics from the shower... I didn't take any of these!
My Step-mother, Beth & me
My 'other mother'. This is Debbie. She and my mom were best friends. Debbie and her family is my family! She hosted the shower in her home/yard.
My Aunt Virg, she's the one who takes care of me!
Here is my Aunt Sheri, she flew up from Orlando, FL; then my Sis in Law (and friend) Stacy, and my Aunt Dorene, she flew up from Austin, TX... she has also taken on a roll of taking care of me. I have WONDERFUL family and friends! I love them so much!
This is Sharon, my almost sister, who organized this whole thing.
In this pic, she is measuring my 'girth' for a game. (so humiliating by the way)
ok, I'm sure I've bored you all to tears by now...
~til next time!

The last pic is one of the main reasons I forbid my friends to have games at my baby shower. Hmmm...probably should have warned you in advance on that one. :)

Awwww! What a cool blog Denise! It looks like you had a great time in New York, the weather looks wonderful. Hope you are feeling well - take care.
Hey Denise!! It looks and sounds like you had an awesome time!! I am so happy for you! Hey, don't forget that Babies R Us coupons NEVER expire. Save all of them. Have your Aunt's sign up to be on the mailing list for brus and for enfamil or whatever formula you will be using and for Gerber, beechnut etc. Go to Momsview.com and they have a baby section and some phone numbers and place to call for some free stuff! What a special time! Love you!
ahhh it's good to see you back around SJ and bloggin' again! I love the pics from your shower...and yes I hated that measure the girth game too!
