has officially hit my house. My house was clean all week long, one weekend, and it’s been destroyed. Not that we had the actual baby shower at my house… because we didn’t. It was at my sister in law’s house (ironically enough, in the same living room that I got married in 4 1/2 years ago). But because of all the stuff that my loving friends and family got the baby…. it’s now destroyed.
It was so much fun, I’m sad that some people couldn’t make it… others live too far away and I missed all of those people a TON. But it was super fun.
We played 4 games. The first game was really fun, it was a “poopy diaper” game. You take diapers and candy bars, stick them in the microwave to soften them up, number them, and pass them around and everyone has to guess what the candy bar was. It was funny. I got 5 out of 6 right. The second game was memorizing baby items that were in a basket and then writing down as many as you could remember. That one was hard because lately I can’t remember much. But I got 11 out of 16, which was pretty good. Then we played what I lovingly refer to as “Guess How Fat the Pregnant Girl Is.” You take a string and make it as long as you think it needs to be to go around the biggest part of my belly. I didn’t play because I already knew (44 inches for those who are wondering). Then the last one was present bingo. People got blank bingo cards, filled them out with what they thought the presents were, and then when I opened presents they could black out a square. It was fun.
Oliver got soooooo many awesome things. He got a TON of clothes (which I hear is a good thing) 
and a pack and play, and a blanket that his grandma made for him to go in his car seat, and some fun teething things, and bottles, and some Baby Einstien toys (one that he got the night before the baby shower from Auntie Courtney). I am so grateful and lucky to have such loving friends and family members.
Daryl and I went and got his car seat yesterday. And now it looks like a baby has invaded my house. It’s so surreal right now because I am so excited, but it seems like the time has gone by too fast or something. I don’t quite know how to explain it. But I’m very excited, and I just can’t wait to meet him. His room is almost done, we worked on it a little yesterday, and I’m going to try and get all the painting done today (which really isn’t all that much left just two little creatures). I will take pictures as soon as it’s done and post them.
How is everyone out there doing?????
