Baby Shower

So today I left work early and headed over to Aaron's school for a baby shower put on by his coworkers (they had only a 1/2 day with students). We received so many nice gifts...including: several outfits, medala breast pump accessories, a bumbo seat, crib sheets, a boppy with cover, blankets, lots of lotions and baby washes, baby wipes, gift cards, pictures frames and scrapbooks, a gift certificate for merry maids, and much more! They were all so nice to have gone to the trouble and as you can see from the list we made out.We also arrived home to find the Graco stroller base from the registry from Jennie and Dave...thanks guys! We still have to put it together. We also received the frog bath organizer from Aunt Teri and an outfit and blanket/towel from my sister's friend Rachel. Thanks to everyone so much. We are truly lucky to have such great coworkers and friends as a support group. In other exciting news...my ankles are huge! I mean massive. This seams to be a recent development (like within the last 24-36 hours). I can't even feel the ankle bone anymore. They don't hurt and I have been trying to elevate them as much as possible. The ladies Aaron works with were so concerned as was the school nurse at the shower that she insisted I let her take my blood pressure. It was fine. Hopefully I can manage this too.

Aaron and I also played a rousing game of Mario brothers and Ten Yard Fight. Aaron kicked my butt in Mario and I kicked his in Ten Yard Fight. It was hilarious - a real blast from the past. Both Aaron and I were suprised at how bad the graphics were and how much of the old games we remembered. It is just too funny. He received the Nintendo for Christmas from his cousin Kyle and had been busy buying up old games.
