On Friday, after Lila's morning nap, we picked up Emily and went to the mall. We had lunch at the food court and Lila happily munched on some fries. I went there to get some jeggings for Annette's baby Ruby. Preston loved Lila's jeggings and it's become a bit of a joke in the ward. That night, we had a game night with Ann and Ben Hernandez and Kari and Hayden. Ann and Ben are living with Ann's parents right now while Ben is looking for a job; they just moved here from Mexico; Ann is originally from Kalamazoo. Nice couple! So Lila got to play around with Lucas and Hayden. We played "Oh Caca!" and had pizza. It was a pretty short game night. Didn't start till 7:15 and ended at 8:30 or so when Lila was ready for bed. That night, we watched an episode or two of Planet Earth.
Saturday was a weird day. I had Annette's baby shower at 11. It was really nice and relaxed and intimate. No silly games. Just visiting, eating, and opening presents. They did pass around a book that we could write advice in. It was a really nice time and it was so fun seeing her open all of the sweet baby girl clothes. And OHHHH did the baby hunger kick in. lol. I was jokingly telling the women I was sitting next to that if I'm pregnant soon I'm blaming it on Annette. I'm so excited to meet sweet baby Ruby. Everyone laughed when she opened the jeggings. I also bought her the most adorable outfit, a limey-yellow-green and tan outfit, that she said she was going to buy at Kohl's the other day, but Preston told her to wait until after the shower. :) Score.
After that I headed right to Desiree's shower, which was completely different. It was at a moody/trendy restaurant, North Eleven. Her sister is a manager there and Tyler is a waiter there. There were a LOT of people there--over thirty. And we were all sitting at a very long table, so it didn't feel very intimate. Desiree was dressed up fancy. It was catered by the place, so I got my fill of Pepsi and mozzarella sticks. :) I sat near Sonja, Juliet Nava-Altman, Ann, and Danielle (formerly Bush) Johnson and her sister Karen. Danielle and Brian Bush are getting divorced. Not a surprise. I'm going to take more maternity pictures of Sonja in a few weeks. It was a long shower and got boring after a while. There were a ton of presents.
So yes, I left the showers very, very, very baby hungry. :) While I was at the showers, Jake and Lila had lunch with Andre and then went to the grocery store. It was fun seeing her when we all got home. We played in bed for a long time, hoping that she'd fall asleep but she didn't. She's so cute now. When we ask her where her belly is, she lifts up her shirts and pats her belly and then claps her hands. She likes it when I then poke her belly and say, "Belly, belly, belly!" If we ask her where our noses are, she grabs at or points at our noses. Very, very cute. She is getting to be sooo adorable.
We met President Anderson (our stake president) at Applebee's at 5. Lila fell asleep on the way there and I sat in the car with her for 40 minutes before waking her up. She was so tired. I wrote Jess an email on Jake's phone. She'll have her baby in around a month!! So crazy. Lila and I will go visit them this summer.
We met with P.A. to talk about buying houses. He said he'd like to do that because he and Cynthia have had 8 houses and have learned a lot. It was really good to sit down and just talk about it--helps Jake and I feel better about it and more informed, and helps the idea solidify in our minds. It's a big step to take... feels like such a grown-up thing to do, but P.A. reminded us that it's a natural thing to do and helped us feel more confident about it. Good man! He'll make a great mission president.
Saturday night we waited to hear from Mike till 12:30am. He said he'd leave Cassandra's at 10:30pm. But we didn't hear back so we went to bed. This morning we woke up a little after 7 and heard about the date from Mike on the phone (I'll write a separate post about that--it's awesome!). That made us excited all day. Church went well. We gave the prayers. Lila was pretty cuddly and screamed a lot too. Jake had to do stuff for a stake audit during second hour and part of third so I had Lila duty. I walked around the hallway with her for what felt like a long time, and she finally fell asleep just as Jake rounded the corner to save the day. My heart leapt when I saw him, "My husband!" So he took Lila to EQ and she slept till that was over.
After church we went to the nursing home. There's an old lady there who just adores Lila. Lila was pretty shy and snuggled Jake, she was still tired and waking up from her nap. After that we went to an open house. It was an awesome house and we're interested in it... we thought maybe we'd make an offer on it this week, but we'll have to think that through. We're going to have Rich show it to us tomorrow at lunch. We think it'll sell fast, so if we do want to make an offer, we probably need to do it soon. So we'll see. (I still like the Greenbriar house.)
Lila pooped three times today, it was awesome. It smells SO BAD because of the vitamins she's taking. Nasty.
Mike and Emily came over after the KUB break-the-fast. Mike told us everything about the date yesterday and that was fun. He and Cassandra will get married someday. It's pretty apparent. :) We're so happy. Lila fell asleep in the Ergo while he was talking. She didn't get good naps in today. Jake broke his fast. Talked to parents on the phone. Mike and Em left.
We started putting Lila to bed at 7 because she was super tired and she screamed and cried for the better part of an hour. It was weird. She was super tired. She ate a few crackers today, which is great. She's slowly getting better. Talked to Mike a little bit more on the phone and have the CES fireside on. Now we're going to have some milk and cookies. :) Yum.
Good weekend.
