So where the hell have you been?

I know I've been crappy with updates as of late and I've got several reasons for that -- first off the cold that wouldn't die sucked sleep out of my body (I wound up waking up not to pee, but to cough hard enough to have a lung come out and need to be reinserted back into my body).

Part of me didn't want to take anything because I didn't know if it would affect the girl or not. That's the thing about pregnancy -- you really stop thinking about yourself and you're focused on the wee one in your belly.

Mercifully, a nurse I talked to told me "Oh you poor dear! Here's a list of medicines you can take."

If I could've leaped through the phone lines to kiss her, I would have.

Anyways, that's not the only reason -- I had a bunch of late nights with work and then baby classes, so my time's been crunched. But I have to recap one big thing for me that happened last Saturday -- the baby shower.

First off my mom, Jeff and godmother are saints. They helped clean and prep the house while I sniffled, slept and coughed up my lungs a couple of times. Erich also deserves big kudos for helping assemble the grill (who knew that our girl would demand a grill before she arrived?) and Michael also deserves a pat on the back for going out and getting last-minute stuff.

But it was a good time, quite tiring, but a good time. With our house packed with people, it was hard to talk to people and hang out like a normal party -- this was about mingling and making sure everyone was alright. As for the loot, I think that the girl will be kitted out quite nicely in clothes. Mercifully not all of them are pink -- it's nice knowing that there's green, blue, yellow and other girly clothes that don't look like they went through a Pepto dye job.

Also, thanks to everyone who came to the shower. I'm glad to know that we've got a good group of friends who are also celebrating the arrival of Geek 2.0 into our lives.

Oh yeah, and anudder thing. This is for the people who don't believe me when I said my ankles disappear:
