A shower for baby

I can not say thank you enough to Jennifer for the wonderful baby shower today. Everything was great...great food, great friends/family, and great gifts! I really haven't gotten much for the baby yet- some of that has to do with not knowing the sex of the baby and some of it has to do with procracination. :) However, after getting home from my baby shower today i had alot of fun relooking at all the fun stuff. We got a baby jogger (which will be the key to getting back into bathing suit shape...i actually have been having the itch to run again, so this is a good thing!), a baby swing, lots of cute little outfits/jamies, diapers, wipes, baby toys, baby monitors, blankets,and so much more! One gift that will be treasured forever is a newborn photo session with Tonya Marie Photography. (Thanks Jen!!!) I can't wait to have these done...but i guess i first need to have a baby right?!
I feel blessed to have such great family and friends...thanks for loving on this baby even before he/she is born! Only a few more weeks and you will get to meet him/her!

Busy, Busy, Busy.

When i left the doctors office today i left with these words from my doctor..."I've measured and listen to lots of babies today, and yours in one of the busiest i've seen yet!" All i am thinking is...OH BOY! This child of ours must get that from me...growing up I was always busy...and couldn't sit still. My mom might have said i was a bit hyper-active- I do recall her "threatening" me with Ritalin if i didn't settle down haha. Oh well, i guess there are worse things than a busy baby...at least the heart beat is good and strong (128 again this time). My doctor did say that when i do into early labor i will probably have a hard time realizing that i am actually in labor, because those early labor pains feel like the movements that i am feeling all the time with this busy baby. So...we'll see how that all goes! Currently she said she thinks the baby is about 4lbs..but over the next few weeks he/she will put on most of it's weight. Everything looked good. I am happy to say that it is head down! That was the first thing she checked for me today :) she knows how i am worried about that haha. I didn't want to have to have her turn that baby in my belly! But, as long as it doesn't decide to change positions we should be all set.
I think it's kinda crazy that i begin my 34th week tomorrow....it seems to be flying by. I guess i should probably go buy some diapers and such in the next couple of weeks. The nursery is still a work in progress, but it's ok. It will get done eventually!

Oh Baby...

This weekend i have grown MUCH more uncomfortable. Either the baby has moved much lower or my stomach has been streching constantly. Either way, i am very uncomfortable. Maybe this is how it will be until the end, i am not sure. He/she moves constantly now...sometimes it's painful. I'm getting to the point where i am ready to be done with it and meet this little baby. However, i know a few more weeks in the belly will do this baby good.
On another note...Kylee leaves for Australlia this week. She will be gone until July sometime. It is kinda bitter sweet, because she will not be here when this baby is born, but going to study abroad has been something she's always wanted to do. Kylee, we hope you have a great time, be safe, and when you come back you'll have a new nephew/neice to snuggle with. :) (and babysit hehe...you know i will be hitting you up to be the little babysitter when you get back!)
This warmer weather has be WONDERFUL! It is making me anxious for spring/summer to come. Soon enough, soon enough. :)

What's a girl to do?!

So...i often wonder why guys act like they are dying when they get a stupid little cold?! It drives me nuts...when Jake gets a little bit sick he pulls out all the stops: he's a medicine junky (where i am not), he has to gargle warm salt water, take hot hot showers to "clean out his nasal passage" haha, and on top of that complain that he has such a bad cold, or is so sick.
It makes me sick listening to him whine :) Why are guys such sissies?!
