baby shopping!!!!

[daffymaiden]

Baka and I went shopping today for the shower on Sunday.  We had so much fun looking at all the little girl clothes!!!!!  We bought some things that were on the registry and some that weren't -- like the My First Cabbage Patch Kid.  :)  I can't wait to see Ava's face when she opens it!  "Only you, Kristina," she'll say.  It fits since Abey-baby (who's really not a baby anymore) has my Seth, with the scratches in his head that Abe's own daddy made by throwing him up against the ceiling when we were kids. 

I hope there'll be a name announcement at the shower!!!!  As much as they must be talking between themselves, they haven't mentioned names they're considering to other people.  There's also a chance she could be born on my birthday.  :)  Abe was born a few days before his projected due date.  Even if she isn't, her birthday will be close enough to mine to warrant doing something special together every year.  American Girl Place, anyone??

Called Dad today -- he was supposed to call me later on Sunday, but it is Thursday and he hadn't yet.  He's still sore from his scrapes and bruises, but otherwise okay.  Totally sober.  I am SO relieved he is in a safe place being supervised by competent adults.

I wish my neighbor's band had hung out at his house tonight.  I guess it's back to the drummer's house as usual, which makes sense, but I would have loved some guy-advice!
