Well, believe it or not I am 2 weeks away from my due date!! I would definitely say at this point I am ready for our sweet baby girl to arrive! I went for my 37 week appointment this past Friday but have not made any progress. I think she is just nice and comfy and doesn’t plan on going anywhere anytime soon! I’m ok with that though because I hear it is better for the baby’s development to stay in the womb until at least 39 weeks. I have not been sleeping great the past week. I mean I haven’t slept through the night since I found out I was pregnant due to the constant need to pee, but the past week I have been fighting a head cold which has made it very difficult to breathe. I have not taken any medicine this entire pregnancy, which I am so thankful for because it means that I haven’t had a need to! But I may be at the point that I need to take something because I certainly don’t want to be in labor with a head cold. It will be hard enough to breathe as it is! ha!
Last month I had two more baby showers. One was thrown by my sister, Libby, and sister-in-law, Jessica. Libby had it at her house and it was a Dr. Seuss theme. It was SOOOOOO CUTE! All of my girlfriends came to this shower. Jessica made a diaper cake and everyone had to guess how many diapers is took to make it. Libby made some delicious food including green eggs and ham sandwiches. 🙂 My mom had painted an adorable Dr. Seuss themed chair and helped with some of the decorations. To go along with the theme, everyone also brought me a book instead of a card – so now our baby girl has a good library established. hehe! I had a lot of fun and was thankful to be able to celebrate with sweet friends.
The ladies at my work also threw me a shower. I was only able to get a few photos on my phone as someone else was in charge of taking pictures. I have hard copies of photos from that shower, but only a few to share here. I felt very loved! My newest sister-in-law, Yuliia, was here from Ukraine (she and my brother just got married and have been visiting with us the past month) and she was able to attend this shower. I was so glad she could come along with my mom and of course the ladies I work with. We had it at my co-worker’s beautiful home – Jennifer Uppercue. I think my favorite thing may have been my donut cake! 🙂
I am incredibly grateful for all the people in my life who took time to celebrate our sweet baby girl’s upcoming arrival. Kyle and I were blessed with many items that we need to get life started with a newborn! We are so thankful.
