Jam Packed Saturday!

Whew what a day! Yesterday started with an early baby shower for my little sister. Shes having the first girl on our side of the family, following 3 boys. All the pink was overwhelming. Im blessed to have the one boy I have. I wanted a slew of babies, but Ive been forced to realize that that is not in my future. Im very happy the one I have is a boy. I would have been happy with any healthy baby, but secretly I wanted a boy. Girls are just too much drama. For me.

Anyway...We ended our day with a large "lobsterfest" aka lobster boil at my inlaws. They had approximately 30+ people attend. They had it on the beach by our the creek. It was way too hot for me so I ended up inside watching cinderella with Elliot. Granted, I realized taking steroids, and hydracodone on an empy stomach, plus heat is a bad idea. And being high as a kite meeting new people was fun :). I dont think anyone noticed.

Towards the end all the kids at the party got hot, so ended up inside with me. (we have a baby/kid friendly room in the house) 1 boy and 4 little girls later I was cracking up, yet having to control one very curious boy. He was wielding a large spoon trying to bang it on all the girls head. It got taken away quickly. Eric stepped in as he said to let it play out. Something about letting the kids work it out. Yes...lets let a 15 mo old, 2 yr old, 5 yr old, 6 yr old, and 7 yr old 'figure it out'. In the end we survived.

I was surprised in the end that the girls didnt say any fun comments to me. I was so hot my scarf had to come off my head for relief. Usually they comment on my lack of hair. Shockingly nothing this go around. I didnt even get any odd looks from the new people I met. I guess they are finally getting used to my random appearances without any head covering. Elliot still randomly wants to pet my head, so he still has a ways to go :)

So todays agenda? My first concert ever! Im going to see The Band Perry!!! That said this is the first night little man will be spending the night away from us and away from home. Despite all my hospital stays Ive always had Eric bring Elliot home and sleep here. Hes never been away from us at night before. Hes staying at his grandparents so I know he will be fine. Im super excited for a concert experience though! Im hoping that I can make it, may be drugged up to handle it and deal with my arm pain but hey Im sure Im not the first person to go to a concert in an 'altered state'. Ill have a full report in the morning!
