This weekend was our first baby shower. We made the 6 hour trip back to Wisconsin and boy, was it a long one. Stopping every 2 hours to go the bathroom, pain from sitting so long, and a little indigestion made it super fun! BUT it was all worth it to see our entire famiy and a few friends! We arrived on Friday night and Mom Isaacson, Dad Isaacson, and Karissa all got to feel baby r moving around in my belly. It was a special moment. Karissa felt some wiggles when she visited me the weekend before, but really got to feel and big kick. She jumped back from being a little frightened. It was kind of funny! Baby R just wanted to make his or her presence known to the Isaacsons! Mom Isaacson couldn't keep her hands off my belly and really enjoyed feeling our little baby! The next day we headed off to the Pachners for our wonderful family shower. Sue really made the day special by opening their home to us and hosting our shower. Kathy made some great food as did my mom. The three of them really went all out and made the day very wonderful. We got to play a few games featuring famous kids and their parents and a game to name all the movies you can think of with the word baby in them. Mom Rothe made the cutest favors that were little baby bottie shaped filled with jelly beans. and Auntie Lisa and Margaret made adorable bookmarks that welcomed our little Rothe! The presents were wonderful too and we are getting to almost all set for our little one. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. It was a great day and we really enjoyed both being there to open gifts and spend time with the family! Grandpee Isaacson even joined us! Many guesses were made as to the sex of baby R but we still don't know! Boy or girl, we just want a healthy baby!
As for the head butting belly experience, as David was getting our sick Tiger back into his crate, Tiger ran away. David turned to catch him and tripped and fell into the belly pretty hard. I was a little concerned and it did ache a little afterwards but I wasn't in severe pain and there was no bleeding! So the next day, I called my doctor to let her know and she said to immediately come into the MAC at the hospital to be checked out. I had to leave work early and sit there for four hours hooked up to a fetal monitor. Baby R was moving all around, kicking the monitor, and my belly. The nurse had to let me go early because she said this baby is just fine! David felt awful but obviously it wasn't his fault. I was moving forward as he was trying to get tiger so it was just an accident and baby r is doing wonderful so no worries.
It was an eventful weekend for our little one and us! We are so blessed with fantastic family and had an amazing shower! So special! We got to relay all the stories to David's mom and dad! They are excited to feel the baby in May! We even got to chat with Auntie Noreen and Susan who have made the most adorable sweater and hat for our baby! Everything is happening and soon he or she will be here! Can't not wait for these 10 weeks to go by!
