A lot has taken place this last week. Wednesday night we had Kimberly and her boyfriend Todd arrive, then later that night my other sister Kelly and my mom and dad arrived. So in my little house we had 7 adults, 3 kids and 3 dogs for 2-3 nights. It wasn't nearly as chaotic as I thought it would be at first. Everything went pretty smooth!
Thursday we got up early and made a big breakfast and then went to Holly's house for T-day dinner since Tony's brother JB and his wife Amanda and my nephew Blain were going to be there (and Holly's house is a LOT bigger and has more space). So we spent the day there and came back that night and we all crashed from exhaustion.
Friday we got up and got ready to go and the guys took the boys and went to Holly's house to eat chili, and watch football while us girls loaded up and went to my friend Sheila's house for my baby girl baby shower. There weren't many people there. The party consisted of me and my mom and sisters, Holly and Amanda, Sheila of course and my friend Alicia. Though the party was not huge, the food was yummy and I got LOTS of clothes. Super cute clothes might I add. My friend Alicia has a little girl that is 18 months old and she dresses SO cute, and she brought me a ton of her baby clothes (which I can't wait for her to always pass these off to me). Then Sheila got me a bag of super cute baby clothes. Holly and Amanda and my mom all got me baby clothes as well. Holly had the CUTEST crocheted baby hats made by a co-worker of hers and I adore those. My mom and dad have bought us a crib as a baby shower gift which we are eternally grateful for and Tony's dad bought us a car seat and stroller combo that we are also eternally grateful for.
After the shower we headed back out to Holly's where we were going to meet up with everyone and head out to eat pizza, but unfortunately in the parking lot of the pizza place Owen threw up all over himself in the car, so we just took off and headed for home, where he proceeded to throw up the rest of the night and throughout today. But if that is not bad, Tony started throwing up today and now Raymond has started throwing up tonight. So those three have been quarantined between my bedroom and the bathroom and are equipped with a can of Lysol that they are to spray on the toilet after they are done throwing up. I will be sleeping on the couch in the living room tonight to be on the safe side. Meanwhile Judd has been in the living room watching movies while I started washing Tess' clothes so I can finally start putting them away. We are trying to stay away from those three with high hopes that we don't end up with it. But to be on the safe side I only fed Judd a bowl of chex cereal for dinner with water and I ate some too.
But this afternoon a daycare mom of mine came to the house to drop off a baby gift for me and it was in the shape of two huge cardboard boxes. To my amazement when I opened them they were FILLED to the brim with baby clothes ranging from 0-3 months all the way up to 6-12 months! There were tons of sleepers (which is what I needed) and a TON more! I was so surprised but completely grateful. Now I feel like I hardly have to buy anything for Tess minus accessories for her first 12 months of life. How much better could that be?
I go to my next dr. appt. on Wednesday for my 34 weeks and hopefully will be discussing my birthing plan and what she has planned for me and so forth. I hope it is enlightening. I think because of exhaustion and dehydration and overdoing it the last few days, last night I was having very mild but real contractions, not the braxton hicks ones, so I am also anxious to discuss that with her. So it was a great Thanksgiving, a wonderful baby shower (thanks for all the gifts to everyone) and now besides day to day things, I have nothing else to do besides do a little light Christmas shopping for the boys and get ready for my little girls arrival. I feel like a huge chunk of stress has been lifted off of me with all of these things on my list being checked off finally!
I hope everyone else had a great holiday too and got to enjoy their families just as I did. I have posted a BUNCH of pictures below for your viewing enjoyment. More to come later!

Yay! Judd finally was awake and in the picture. Good pictures, Stacey. Kimberly and Todd and Kelly, I'm really glad you 3 could be there with all of us. Todd, hope you had a good time, too, with the group, and will be back again. Thanks Holly and Verlyn and Stacey, for having us all in. It all worked out well. Now...on to Christmastime, and baby time, hmm?
I'm including you, too, of course,Tony, in thanks for having us in. Sorry.
