Today my sweet friends Amanda and Karol threw me an adorable baby shower. I love having good friends that go above and beyond to do nice things like that. They both put so much time into it, and I love them for it! I should have gotten pictures with all the people that came, but I wasn’t thinking of it during the time. I took only a few, but I had such a good turn out from so many friends and family members. I got great little clothes and some of the necessities for Mr. Logan. And a bunch of cute little books. Amanda served croissant sandwiches and meat and cheese platters with rolls. Karol brought a most delicious Nothing Bundt Cake and Sonic ice and put together chocolate chip cookie bags and party favors for the guests. My sis brought an oreo cream cheese dessert and spinach artichoke crescent squares. Everything was delicious, and it all looked so cute.

Amanda is on the right and Karol is on the left. I seriously love these beautiful ladies! They are such good friends. And I loved every bit of my shower.

After the shower, I came home and cleaned the house while Jacob was at his parents with the boys helping his dad with the garden.  I was home by myself for about 2 hours, so I mostly cleaned. It was raining so I didn’t bring all my gifts in from my car, so when Jacob got home he brought everything in, and we had fun going through all of Logan’s stuff with the boys. Teags kept saying, “Oh dat is so cute!” He’s so funny, and I can’t wait to see him as the big brother. After sorting through Logan’s stuff, I headed to Walmart to pick up our crib. We won’t set it up until next week after I paint his room, but I’m excited that it is here! Now Logan just needs to come at the end of next week, and all will be well.

We bought a car yesterday, and I’m not really loving it right now, and I don’t really want to write about it at this point, so I'm not going to. Maybe another day. I just know that I hate car shopping and trying to get the best deal.

Last night I had the hardest time sleeping, and it’s like that so often now. At 3 am after tossing and turning in my bed, then going downstairs to the couch for a couple hours, and then going back upstairs to my bed again, I finally sat up in my bed and just cried. Jacob woke up, asking me what was wrong, and I just cried that I can’t sleep and I’m so uncomfortable and so exhausted from never sleeping anymore. He patted my back, said, “I’m sorry, babe” and then was back to sleep in about 40 seconds while I cried in the darkness feeling sorry for myself that I couldn’t just be sleeping. It’s so frustrating because I’m so tired, but I’m apparently more uncomfortable than I am tired because my discomfort keeps me awake all night. I know – there are women that can’t get pregnant and want so badly to know what it’s like to be uncomfortably pregnant. I’m happy I’m pregnant, but I want it to be over now so that I can sleep on my back or tummy again. This side-sleeping business is not my favorite. Let next weekend be my time!
