It started out a little rough. I was in some pain on Sunday, so we didn't make it to church, even though I was really hoping this would be the week. I felt great on Saturday, so I had hoped it would last through the weekend. I spent most of Sunday taking it easy, lying around.
This week, I worked Monday, Wednesday and Friday. This was a great set-up because it gave me a day in between each work day so that I could recover and relax. I am still having shunt site pains, which I am managing with my heating pad and a prescription for some pain meds. I'm really trying not to take the meds too much.
My parents came back into town on Thursday to work on their condo and to prepare for my baby shower over the weekend. They currently have a table, 6 chairs, a coffee table and a table that goes up against the wall. I haven't been upstairs in the condo in over a week, so I'm not sure if they've gotten anything for up there.
My work threw me my first baby shower on Thursday. It was amazing. I have the best co-workers. The cake was delicious, and I got LOTS of adorable outfits for the girls, as well as some much needed other things. While I am looking forward to being off work for a while, I will miss being there on a weekly basis and seeing everyone.
My aunt and uncle from Pennsylvania made a surprise trip to Sacramento this week as well. They have been on a 5 month RV trip across the US. They had been planning to meet up with us in Redding next week for my shower up there, but they were in CA a little early. Since everyone was in Sacramento, they met us here too. We all (me, Jeff, my parents, his parents, and my aunt and uncle) went out for dinner together on Thursday to Old Town Sacramento. What fun! We played a little game for the parents to all guess the girls' names, which we finally decided to tell them since we were all together. Based on their reactions, I am not sure how crazy they are about the names, but I'm sure they will grow on them.
Anyway, I also had my Sacramento baby shower this weekend, but that is technically part of Week 28, so I'll post that next time. I am getting SO excited for these girls to get here.
