SURPRISE!

I knew that my baby shower was coming up....or at least I hoped. My Type A personality was starting to have a nervous break down about making sure everything was ready to go for little Patrick's arrival.

I assumed it was this coming Saturday because my mom mentioned that my Aunt was coming down and we should all come over for dinner. Not to mention Michael is away at school for his Captain's Career Course and Mom would plan it then because then I would have something to do while he was gone!

Boy was I wrong. Awhile ago I received an invite to a Mary Kay party for this past Sunday at my Mom's friends house. I was actually kind of excited to go on Sunday because I need some foundation. I don't normally shop Mary Kay, but if I had to go to a party I might as well get some goodies!

Sunday morning Michael left, and thanks to my hormones I was a mess. It's only two weeks! You would think I was sending him back to Iraq. I was mad at myself for being so ridiculous! I just wasn't feeling hot and almost called my Mom to tell her I wasn't going to make it. BUT I sucked it up and decided to go at the last minute.

I think this pregnancy is killing brain cells because I missed all of the signs. Even my husband knew it was on Sunday when he saw the Mary Kay invite. I mean really! Needless to say I was shocked and upset at first because I really had a cute outfit picked out and would have put on more make up had I known (I was going to a Mary Kay party....I thought I would put on make up there!) I just wanted good pictures...geez!

Once I got over the shock, I was so excited to see all of my friends and family. I have to say the amount of presents we received was insane. When everything was brought to my house I felt like I had a Babies R Us showroom!
These are just the bags, there are huge boxes that include a stroller and car seat, high chair, Pack and Play, just to name a few!

I didn't want to put everything away because Michael really wants to see everything, but again the Type A jumped up and wouldn't let me rest! With Mom and Dad's help everything is out of the bags at least and somewhat organized. Let's just say Michael had A LOT to put together when he gets home next week! I really don't think there is one thing that we need to go out and buy! We are truly blessed to have such wonderful family and friends.
