Pin the Tail on the Baby

This past weekend went really well. The baby shower was lots and lots of fun on Saturday. Just about everyone was able to come, some of which I hadn't seen since we moved in August. So it was really good to catch up with them. Especially the one who is 17 weeks pregnant and really couldn't be more excited about it. She hung around after everyone else was gone and we had an interesting discussion on the grossness of labor/delivery.

I got lots of great gifts, mostly clothes. I think that's because they are the most fun to buy. I think by the time she arrives, she'll be a well dressed little girl.

In addition to chatting, eating good food and opening gifts, we also played a few baby games (no, we didn't play Pin the Tail on the Baby). My favorite was a multiple choice quiz on Baby Cheryl. My mom had previously been asked 14 questions about me as a baby. The one who got the most questions right won the game. For some reason I was allowed to play, and I won (as I should have, I suppose). However, I didn't even get them all right, only 10 out of 14. I didn't know my favorite TV show (Sesame St), that I thought boys were more fun than girls (as opposed to "eew, gross"), I was most afraid of being left at home with the babysitter (I answered "the dark," which was true, but a trick question because that wasn't when I was a baby), and my favorite story (my mom answered Winnie the Pooh, but even she admitted to not really know a story that stood out above the rest).

The shower lasted about 3 hours or so. After packing up the car we took a leisurely drive back to my parent's house. It was a beautiful day in the mid-60's. Couldn't really ask for better on the first of March.

Other events of the weekend included putting the Tracker on Criag's List. We posted it Saturday at almost 10pm, and had 5 or 6 interested buyers on Sunday. We had a couple of them test drive it, but ultimately found the right buyer who was going to pick it up today. I haven't gotten the official word from my dad that he followed through, but he was specifically looking for a 2 wheel drive tracker, so I would be surprised if he backed out. The best part is we really got A LOT more for it than I thought we could. Unfortunately, it has to be spent on a year's worth of health insurance rather than something fun like ice cream and shoes.
