My family planned a baby shower for me over the weekend. It was amazing. The theme was “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.” Amber, my crafty sister, made the decorations, which consisted of banners, balloons and even a monkey on a motorcycle made out of diapers (that was classically awesome). People were so kind. My favorite gift … maybe the monkey on the motorcycle? Maybe the lamp my sister Lindsey thoughtfully searched for for weeks or the car seat cover and receiving blanket my sister Janna spent hours creating? All highlights.
Honestly, what I’ll remember most is having my family and almost all of my closest friends there to celebrate. I was able to catch up with some people I really love. That was the best. I was so exhausted afterwards – not sure why. Tyler teased, “yeah, it’s really hard unwrapping gifts.” But even though I needed a nap and my feet grew three sizes, it was perfect. Better than a dream.
Yesterday I had a funny experience. I went to a doctor’s apt. The doctor asked me a question, and I began to answer. About 20 seconds into my response, the doctor’s eyes rolled back in his head and his eyelids shut. I have seen my dad have a seizure once, and this is exactly what I thought was happening. I kicked into first-responder mode – “Are you ok? Doctor, are you ok?” I began to stand up to get help from a nurse, when suddenly his eyes popped open and he said, “I apologize, I fell asleep. Can you repeat what you were saying?”
Oh man, I almost died laughing. He explained he delivered his daughter’s child in the middle of the night and hadn’t been back to sleep since. I was the last patient of the day. I felt for him, he really looked tired. But, I still thought it was hilarious. Reason #1 I hope I don’t have to have a C-section: It’s possible my doctor has narcolepsy. Yikes.

How fun! I wish I could have been there! That's funny about your doctor! Almost there! I can't believe it! I'm so excited for you!
