Crazy days

The last few days have been insane--we've been very busy, and I'm just now catching my breath. Thursday night was the big Erie Blogger meet and greet, and I really enjoyed it. It was nice to meet everyone and not nearly as awkward as I feared it would be! Evan enjoyed it too--he seemed to have a pretty good time playing with Z (daughter of Eden), but perhaps next time I'll try finding a babysitter. As much fun as Ev is, I'm sure I'd get to chat with more people if I wasn't chasing him around!

Then Saturday was my baby shower. Beth and Cara were kind enough to throw it for me, and it really was a lovely party. Just what I would have planned myself-- very low key with no embarrassing games. It was nice to spend some time visiting with family and friends I don't get to see that often, and of course we got tons of excellent baby loot. I don't think there's much left that we need, and I feel very lucky about that. It was definitely a great day.

Now it's Sunday night, and I'm wiped out to start the new week. To top it off, Mike's busy doing a conference for the next few days, and Evan is coming down with a cold. I hope I find some energy somewhere, because it's going to be a tough go if I don't! And I'd really like to finish getting the baby's room ready over the next few days. There's not a ton left to do, but I know I won't be able to relax until it's done.
