Gifts, Galore...

We had a wonderful shower today given by Cliff's mother's side of the family. I was so overwhelmed at the amount of people there and the amount of gifts they brought! They are some of the most giving people...just wait until you see the pictures! Everything is pictured with the exception of a set of chest of drawers that Cliff's parents have ordered to go with Walker's furniture. We are going to use them in the closet until he outgrows the changing table, then they will replace the changing table. Unfortunately we are limited on wall space and have no more room in the actual nursery for any furniture but really needed a set of drawers. So, this is our simple solution for now! It killed me to not be able to eat any of the yummy food at the house due to my fun diet I'm on this weekend but come Monday, after my test, I will gobble down my "to go" plate. Aunt Christie and Cousin Brandi did a wonderful job hosting this shower! I'll let the pics do the rest of the talking...

The diet-

Ugh. The food, it's good...but man, the consistency of it all is annoying! One more day of this. Last night Cliff made me some yummy chicken but then I made instant mashed taters and some green beans, my side salad and got my piece of whole wheat toast...

I knew I couldn't eat another meal that bland! So, tonight I am having more of Cliff's yummy chicken but Kathy fixed me my favorite mashed potatoes that she cooks and also green beans! So, I'm saying "um..." after every bite. I'm currently eating as I type.

The complaints-

I've been so worn out and weak the past few days! I don't know what's wrong with me. I know that it could be because I'm anemic, but I was anemic before I started feeling this way and now i'm taking iron supplements. So, who knows. I'm hoping this passes. I can't imagine starting back to work feeling how I feel. Friday I literally stayed on the couch until 5:30 p.m. when I got up to take a shower, but only because I had to. Today after my shower I came home and slept all afternoon. I'm sleeping better at night now too with only the typical bathroom trips keeping me up. So, at least I'm getting some much needed rest! Can't complain about that... :)
