So, I recieved a package yesterday from Sabrina. It was a gift of a bunch of baby things and as I stared at it with shipping peanuts scattered on the floor, I burst into tears. I took everything out and organized it into its little box and went into my room. I realized that I am blessed. With everything that has happened I have friends and family, and even perfect strangers, that have given me so much. My baby will never need and never want. I am more than grateful and appreciative for everything that the Gods and friends/family have blessed me with. Lily has everything she needs and so much more. I truly have no real words to describe my deep feelings of gratitude.

Also, I realized that I never posted the photos from October 15th's baby shower. You may view them at the following link: http://photobucket.com/albums/v233/cyndi_lauper/babyshower2k5/

My next appointment will not be until tomorrow morning, so nothing new on the baby front, other than this is starting to become more painful and this child is enormous. I've also acquired a rash around my bellybutton. Not pleasant. Whoever said this was a wonderful experience half lied. It's an experience, all right, but not all that wonderful.

EDIT:
During this month, I will be screening my calls. Unless it is an emergency (or you have a verizon phone :D ) I will more than likely not answer. You may leave a message, or call me any moment after 9 pm central time. Also, once Lily is born, I would like to keep visitation at a minumum. For the first week, visitation will be restricted to just family. I know this is an exciting moment that I would like to share with everyone, but it is also an overwhelming one, and I would not like to be bombarded with people. However, during Christmas and holiday gatherings is appropriate. Anything else...e-mail me.
