We had our first baby shower in Cedar Falls last Saturday. I thought that I would have pictures, but I didn't really take any and the ones that were taken were of us opening presents and didn't turn out very good. We got a lot of really good stuff - including LOTS of Vikings stuff! My mom has been very busy making stuff for his room too. She made a wall hanging, a curtain, a crib sheet, bumper pad, and a blanket! They all turned out really good too. I'll have to take some good pictures of them and post them.
The shower really wasn't a traditional shower - it was boy/girl, at a bar, and pretty much just cake, presents and beer (I just enjoyed the cake and presents, obviously). It was fun, but there were quite a few people that couldn't make it due to sickness and other family things. Ryan and I just went through all of our presents again last night and tried to organize and find room for stuff. That's going to be the biggest challenge! I can't wait to get everything in his room ready - especially the crib - so we can get organized and "ready" for him to come.
This weekend is my Halloween baby shower in Elkader with my side of the family and friends from Elkader. I can't wait! I bet I'll have some better pictures to post of that shower, especially since its a costume party!
I had a doctor appointment today too - 32 weeks and counting! I got vaccinated for H1N1 too, and now my arm is a little achy. Beats getting sick, though! The doctor said she thinks his head is down, and hopefully it stays that way. My blood pressure and weight are fine and his heartbeat sounded good, too. My blood platelet count is still low and I have to go in for MORE blood work next week to make sure that it is because of pregnancy and not something else, but the nurse said it's not uncommon for pregnant women to have lower than normal platelet counts. I guess we'll see!
