Wow! Today was a long day... It started out with Mike's first baseball game of the season for 2009. Go SeaWolves! I will tell you that his team did not win the game but, it was really only a practice game if you ask him. It was nice to get to see all the girlfriends and wives of the players again and to meet a few new people added to the team. I love this time of the year it reminds me of when Mike and I first met... That's another story which many of you know. If it weren't for baseball we wouldn't be together. :)
After the game we went to Mike's G-ma's house so that he could shower up and get ready to go on a road trip with his uncle Bob. I have been pretty anxious about this day for a long time. It's the first time we have been away from each other since we lost the baby and boy does it scare me. I know that he will be fine but, it's weird being without him!
So to preoccupy myself I went to a Baby Shower for my friend Amanda in Burien. She too lost her first baby and she was as far long as I was. So there was no way that I was going to miss this! I had such a good time and I even won a prize.
I was so proud of myself. I held it together the whole time until just before I left. It was so hard for me not to talk to Amanda about things because I knew that it was her day and I didn't want to be the one to ruin it. At times I felt like I had a disease because for those that knew what had happened to me they didn't want or didn't even know what to say to me. I totally understand too... I would been the same way.
I feel so privileged to have been able to go to her baby shower. I am so excited for her and Greg! So much more than I would have been if I had not gone through my loss. I know that sounds selfish but, it's the truth. I have a much bigger appreciation!! Believe it or not I am very thankful for it!
After the baby shower I drove all the way to Lake Steven's to have a wonderful ham dinner at my Sister in-law's house! Thank you Chris! It was wonderful! She also fed me some yummy chocolate chunk cookies and good conversation!
Wow! I'm tired!
