A weekend of babies

This weekend was full of babies. Friday night, I had a Ladies Night with the girls at work. It was inevitable that babies would be high on the list of topics. I tried to dodge the questions: When? When? and When? Truth be known, I have no clue when. I don't want to bring a baby into an apartment that we are quickly outgrowing. Another truth: I am terrified of getting pregnant. It stems from my Mom's troubles. And I will just have to get over that in the future. I have time. So Friday night was speckled with the baby questions and I survived.

Saturday was my cousin's baby shower. She received so many cute items. My mom was beside herself with excitement of what it would be like if I were pregnant. I understand her excitement, I just want it to tone down for awhile until we are pregnant. For the mom to be, I made a "Baby Boy" paint can with an incredibly soft blue blanket and a little rubber ducky. I really liked how this turned out. I have so much fun altering items and giving them as gifts. It is such a stress relief. But anyhow, the weekend was nice. After the shower we went to visit my grandpa and it was tough. It is hard to see a new life getting ready to begin and then seeing an older life seeming to slip away. It brought back a lot of memories, good and bad. We then went back to my gradparent's house for supper. Grandma's noodles would save any day. It was nice to see my family. I hadn't seen them since Christmas. They headed back to Tennessee and we all headed back home. We made an impromptu stop at Audra's and went for icecream that evening. It was a late drive home, but a fulfilling day. Now for another week of school. Thank goodness testing is done.
