Another Shower!

We had a busy day today. I'm pleased to report that my back is doing a lot better. I saw the chiropractor yesterday and the treatment really helped.... I'm sure the rest I managed to get, too, helped repair whatever was going on. The chiropractor explained what might be going on, but I don't think I can remember quite what he said... but, anyway, I am definitely feeling some relief. The dull backache - which is likely a passage of pregnancy - is still there, but it's really manageable.

So that's good.. and yesterday we got a lot of chores done - including the bathroom, which I will take pics off tomorrow. We're very happy with it, and it was well worth the wait. Today, though, we took a quite trip to the gym followed by a quick stop to see Jen, David, and Sage - who are about to depart on their much deserved holiday. This could be the last time they see me pregnant... at least pregnant with the Poppet. And then we scooted to another baby shower!! Yes, some of Rich's friends kindly hosted another shower for us. It was a small gathering - mostly comprised of people Rich has met through MAC (Maine Animal Coalition)... Not surprisingly, we got to enjoy a lot of delicious vegan menu - and discovered that Angela - the host - is the most fabulous cook! Vegan quiche, homemade vegan ice-cream, and Sarah, another guest, had an exceedingly delicious vegan cake made...

And then there were champagne cocktails :)

We received some beautiful gifts, too! Rich and I are just overwhelmed by people's generosity. The G-diapers were fab, but we also received some sweet, sweet clothes, a book, toys, and more... What a wonderful afternoon.

Finally we came home and I finished sorting out the nursery. It is all but ready.. and if I do say so myself, it looks really lovely. Pics of that tomorrow, too...








Champagne and Rafi...



Not a flattering shot of either of us... but we have so few together!
