Dogfights, Brushfires, Beer & Booties

What do these four things have in common? Seemingly nothing, unless you attended our baby shower this past weekend.

I wrote briefly about it Sunday night, and posted most of the photos, but didn't give the full story. The full story, well, involved a dogfight, a brushfire, beer and booties. Amongst lots of other baby things. Blankets, pacifiers, onesies, the baby's room is beginning to look like Babies R Us. We gotta get on that soon.

But it was a day of many firsts. First time meeting many of Laura's coworkers. First time the yard was presentable. First big party at the house. First time I ate baby food. First time I saw Vic dance. Mostly it was exhausting. But fun. All the hard work was well worth it. Thanks to everyone who came, gifted or whose hands helped. Let's do it again sometime eh?

This sums it up....

I'll have you know, no one was injured in the dogfight, in the brushfire or all the drinking. Are you supposed to have alcohol at a baby shower?

Holy Sleep

We slept for 12 hours on Monday night. I haven't slept that long, probably since I was a baby. Laura, she gets in a 12 hour downtime at least once a week. She's a pro. We woke up, only briefly, around 11:30pm to polish off that chocolate cake.

For shame.

Oops. Lamaze!

With all the excitement going on lately, we didn't realize our first lamaze class was tonight. Not really just lamaze. More like birthing 101. We learned the importance of hydrotherapy, rice socks, counter pressure & pineapples. Gonna have to make a list. Also decided that we may be interested in having a hynobaby. That's a baby thru hypnosis. Why not ya know? That and we're gonna use the ball, just because it looks fun.

The instructor, her name was Sarah, seemed like an expert having 6 kids and all and walked us thru some stretching exercises and ended the evening with some meditation procedures with the lights off. I haven't stretched in years. It felt pretty good. Sarah also teaches a yoga class. We may be interested in signing up for that. Hypnobaby & yoga.

After one class we feel pretty good about the whole thing. We've got four more classes to go, and I was reminded that I should really pay attention because there will indeed be a test.

But There Was A Shower

I'm too tired to elaborate but there was a baby shower here today. We've been working our asses off to get ready for it. Hopefully everyone had a nice time, but I wouldn't know. I was pretty out of it most of the time. But I can show you some photos and maybe you can piece it together.














You should know that there was a fire. What's a baby shower without a good forest fire? Ain't nothing! That's what! Make note.

That's it. No more showers a la baby. We got it all. At least I hope. We got what we got and the baby will make due. I'm too tired to really know what is.............

Just Follow The Arrows

Someone will still get lost.
