Home visits and first baby shower

This week has been crazy busy! Is it really already Saturday? The first part of the week flew by because I was prepping for company. Alex came in on Wednesday with Rosalie. We had dinner and girl time that night and all the next day. It was good to get out and do stuff. We ran errands, went to the park, tried to get Rosalie to nap, and I had a doctors apt. All was well with the doc apt. The visit took next to no time and even the receptionist commented on it. Everything checked out good and I was cleared to go on my next adventure. More to come on that.
Thursday evening, Tony, Charity, and the kids spent the night so we had 3 kids in the house with 5 adults. Full house for sure, but a good full house. We ordered pizza and let the kids play and then crash. I ended up falling asleep on the couch while watching a movie. 10pm for me is late now for me staying up.
Anyways, the following am, I had crossfit and then had to get ready for the shower in Charlotte at my parents home. Val and I drove there early yesterday to help prep for the party. My Mom had things pretty organized but there was fruit cutting, drink making, etc that had to be done. So Val and I helped with that. After no time, I had to get ready myself for the party so I went upstairs and was doing my hair and makeup and just had this moment of "I can't believe this is my day, my party" in the mirror in the bathroom. Pretty similar to how I felt on my wedding day. You dream and dream of different moments in your life and sometimes they feel just SO far away or maybe that they will never happen to you. And then the moment arrives and you just can't believe it. That's how I felt.
After picking out one of three outfits that I brought people started showing up. Alex first, then my Gram, then more and more. All in all, everyone seemed to have a good time. I know I did and I appreciated everyone who drove and gave up some of their day and time to celebrate with me.
Later that evening, we made it home and Alex helped me unpack the car and put everything upstairs. Then, I went to bed. I saw Daniel for all of about 15 minutes before my eyes dropped. I will have to fill him in on everything later today.
