Last week we had our first Baby Shower! It was held at my office and given by the legal assistants and attorneys. It was really sweet of them to do and we got some really cute things for Waylon! There was also alot of delicious food and everyone brought a dish. There was even an Aggie cake and maroon and white plates and napkins. Nick was able to come, which I was really happy about. He is so busy at work I wasn't sure if he'd be able to make it.
It just so happens that the H1N1 clinic fell on the same day as the shower. Nick did alot of research ahead of time about the vaccine and which one pregnant people were supposed to get. He researched online and talked to someone at the Texas Flu Hotline. He decided to come with me so that we could make sure that I got the right vaccine. This made for a really long day for both of us. I ended up going to bed at 8 that night! It was an interesting day, for sure. We got to the clinic, which was held in one of the malls in town, 45 minutes early and there were already over 100 people in line. My heart just sank when I saw that because I just knew that we'd be there all day, we'd have to stand that whole time, and we'd possibly miss the shower. When they got started, they divided us into different groups and there was a separate line for pregnant people. We were so relieved! We got out of there 45 minutes after they started. I was so glad. Nick made sure that I got the right vaccine and got the TV cameraman out of my face who was trying to film me getting the shot. I was so very glad he was there with me to stand in line with me and be there for me. He's going to be such a great, loving, and protective dad!
Fun! I will see you at your second shower! Miss you!
