Baby Shower #1

My coworkers at work threw me a baby shower today! It was a surprise, and it was so sweet. I know that it's not unusual for somebody's job to throw them a shower, but with it being the end of the year and me not returning, I really wasn't sure I would get one--I mean, we only have two weeks left of school, and no one had said a word to me about one, so I sort of let it go.

But there was a shower, and we got lots of nice things for Baby! I got my Boppy pillow, some hardback books from my registry, our hanging closet organizer, gift cards, loads of diapers and wipes, our hooded towels, some washcloths, some outfits, a blanket, a month-by-month picture frame, our bath set, and some other assorted items. It is wonderful to finally feel like I have some "stuff" for Baby! I mean, I have some clothes, a crib, and a carseat (and a stockpile of diapers), but now I feel like I am on my way to actually having some of the little things that I need. Hopefully I can get some pictures posted soon.

In other news, still having pain. The doctor wants to see me tomorrow morning, so we'll see what she has to say. Am I waiting for a worst-case scenario, like emergency surgery? No. Do I believe it's just a bruised rib? No. Hopefully the doctor can fill me in on what might be causing the constant pain and tenderness and making me want to claw my clothes off of my body.
