Friday I went for my usual walk around the neighborhood. Then off to my now weekly appointments at my ob/gyn's office. Everything is still the same, no changes, so that is good. I went to get my nails and eyebrows done for the big weekend, notice my pink toes to match my pink dress. My parents arrived into town right after I finished up at the nail salon. We met at my house and they got to see the nursery for the first time, although still not complete. We went to have lunch at the yummy Blue Water Seafood and had some poboys. We drove around my neighborhood because my parents are considering buying a patio home or renting an apartment when the baby comes. We did drive-by's of about 5 different places. Then I took them back home to rest and I headed to my hair appointment. You would think I was getting married again with all my beauty treatments. After my haircut I came back home and chatted with my parents and Ryan came home from work. Ryan's mother and Ryan's aunt, who flew down from Princeton, New Jersey, just for my shower, came over that evening. Aunt Linda's visit was a suprise to me. So nice! My sister Missy drove in from Austin and so did my friend Randi and by the time everyone got to my house it was 8pm. We had burgers on the grill and called it a night.
Saturday morning Randi and I got up early and went walking around my neighborhood before she, myself and my mother got ready for the shower that day. Ryan and my dad went to work on the house doing a list of "honey do's" that was a mile long. Mom, Randi and I left for Amazon Grill where Randi, Sarah, and Tootie were putting on the shower. It was so nice. Sarah made all the flower arrangments herself, Tootie brought the cupcake mini's which were darling and Randi made my homemade baby shower invites. We had a good time eating ceviche, amacones, empanadas, with salad and their yummy salsa with plantain chips with some delicious LOOKING mojitos and margaritas. It was perfect for the ladies luncheon. Then we opened prezzies and I made out like a bandit. So much baby stuff, I cannot wait to show you in the final pics of the nursery (soon to come). After the shower we headed home and showed Ryan and my dad all the stuff from the party. I am sure they were thrilled. Randi headed back to Austin that afternoon and Ryan and I rested while my parents went to Mass that evening. For dinner Saturday night, Tootie and Chad came over and we had pizza from Double Dave's and a homemade salad. I was still so full from the shower that I did not eat anything.
Sunday, Ryan and I went to church and came home where my mom had made lunch of King Ranch Casserole, rice, beans. Ryan's mom, Ryan's Aunt, Tootie and Chad all came over again for lunch. After everyone ate, everyone went home. My parents headed home to San Marcos and Ryan's Aunt was flying out early the next day. I rested that evening since I had to work Monday. I was exhausted. I hope that you had a great weekend as well. It was so much fun to see all my friends and family this past weekend. Love, Liz----Count down 23 days!
