Visitors Arriving
Guests have begun to arrive!
Lindsay and Ian
Monica relaxes with a glass of wine.
The cats were pretty freaked out by the baby. Later, they were bored.
Dave’s en route to the airport to pick up Amy. We’re off to dinner after Amy and Dave get home!
So Excited!
I have a million things to do right now, but just had to take a second to say how exited I am. Tomorrow is my big shower that the girls are throwing for me.
First, it’s just awesome that the girls are going to so much trouble and I love them so much for showering me with love like this. It sounds like there have been all sorts of plans and preparations and I am super excited!
Second, I am stoked to say that more out-of-town guests are showing up than I would have imagined! Amy and Ali, who helped organize this shindig, are both going to make it. Not that I’m not delighted they’re coming, but I was definitely counting on them to make it, being some of my oldest and dearest buds. Additionally, Monica is coming in from Austin, and Lindsay is coming in from Dallas!
They’re all crashing at my place, which makes me even happier. Oh, and Linz is bringing 4-month-old Ian, so we’ll have a real-life prop for the shower!!
OK, I hafta get back to work and get the house prepped for everybody’s arrival!
Aggravation
I don’t normally blog about work, and technically this isn’t about work, it just happened at work.
Yesterday I was chastised for raising my arms above my head. Apparently you can strangle the baby with the umbilical cord by raising your arms above your head. SERIOUSLY PEOPLE. I mean, have you even thought logistically of how that would work? It’s like, impossible. And wait, I’m sorry, when did you get your medical degree? Oh, that’s right. You don’t have one. You’re just crazy.
And today I was chastised for wandering through the hallway eating at 10 o’clock and told that “You’d better be careful, you know you have to get skinny again after you have that baby.”
Most people I work with are not phased by the site of me walking around the office eating – happens all the time and has for years. If you’ve ever met me, I hope you’ll agree that I am not and have not been overweight. I’m nearly eight months pregnant and I’ve gained a measly 22 pounds – not bad if I do say so myself.
So what the heck? I actually planned a light breakfast today so I could finish up my leftovers in the morning – it wasn’t even an impulse eating binge. It was tasty chinese leftovers.
And then there’s this trauma that Emily’s going through with nosy people of her own.
Gah, can’t people keep from being so danged nosy?

We hung the curtains! Here is a bad panoramic of the room, sans crib.
Sorry for the scroll, but whatcha gonna do with a panoramic like this?
