The drive to Iowa was pretty uneventful. I got to lie in the back for part of the trip which made it slightly more comfortable. Of course, the car was full on the way back, so no lying down for me. It's hard to get comfortable when you can't really put your legs up or your chair too far back. It was overall a rough 20 hours of driving. And...it was freezing the whole time we were there. It was quite cold and rainy. Ironically, I was actually wishing to have our Michigan weather back.
The baby shower was very nice. My sister did an umbrella and rubber duck sort of spring shower theme. It fit pretty well, considering it was raining that day. Her decorations were very cute. We played the diaper game, where you melt different candy bars in the diapers and everyone has to guess what kind of candy bar is in each one. It was very funny. Especially since you really had to stick your nose close to the "poop" to smell the chocolate. We also made my grandpas, uncle, dad, brother, and Dean play it when we got home. Their reactions were hilarious! Everything was great! The cake and punch were delicious and we all had a very good time. We also received a lot of very nice gifts. Lots of diapers and clothes. Bo is going to be one well dressed baby. Now if only I could find a place to put everything.
The rest of week, once we returned went pretty quickly. Bo has been kicking like crazy all day and night and doesn't seem to mind our busy running around schedules. Hopefully, he will adapt just fine once he is born. Dean and I were both very busy this week and it seemed like we were hardly even at home. Dean had his first slow pitch softball game on our church team. It was fun to watch but makes me a little sad I won't get to play this summer. I asked Dean if maybe I could just hit, but he said no. He said maybe I could keep the book. So I guess that's a good compromise. He played pretty well and even got a Home Run!! The season goes all the way to August, so it will be fun to get to watch all summer. Plus, he will play on our coed work team so we will have softball 2 days a week. Add having a baby in there and we will be quite busy all summer long.
We have also been busy working outside and getting our lawn and garden ready for summer. Our neighbor tilled our garden and then tilled up much of our yard so we can plant new grass seed. Our yard is now a dirt mess but Dean says in a couple weeks it will look better. We shall see.... I think I will start planting the garden this weekend. I still have to plan out the spots and when everything should get planted but hopefully I can get that figured out next week.
We have much to do and only a little more than 60 days to do it.
Sorry about the picture quality. I hope you can tell I am growing a little bigger each week. I definitely feel bigger. Like a pumpkin.
