Well, things are really coming along now! Each week that goes by means that we're closer to finally seeing our little one- I CAN'T WAIT!!! It's not that "get this baby out of me" kind of thing, I'm just really excited- nervous, but excited! This past week was pretty cool. I got to spend the beginning of the week finishing up the nursery. The only thing we're really missing is our peanut. Also, Friday, my wonderful coworkers threw Jeremy and I a surprise baby shower. Apparently I made things a bit difficult (I'm kinda hard to keep surprises from) but it was great. They had a nacho bar from Qdoba and cake for lunch and then gave us some fabulous gifts- Since I don't have pics from that, I'll just tell you what we got. We received the last piece of our nursery set (our pop monkey blanket which is sooo soft), a set of bath toys that squirt water, a book (are you my mother), a wonky wiggler (car seat toy), a swaddle me and a very generous gift card to babies r us. They were also really thinking ahead and gave us a giftcard for qdoba so we can stop and get dinner on our way home from the hospital. We were both pleasantly surprised and stunned by the generosity. As far as new things with me... I am pretty sure I have started having some braxton hicks contractions (finally). It's hard for me to tell the difference between that and baby movement! I go in to see Dr. Moon this Friday for the normal checkup and also to see whether I am making any progress toward labor. I can't believe it's getting so close! We have one last baby shower on Wednesday, and I'll be sure to take my camera this time. Jeremy's coworkers wanted to do something special for him- I think it's a great idea! We also have an appointment to get our carseat inspected to make sure it is installed correctly next week. I know it's going to be a busy few weeks and I'm trying to rest as much as possible to conserve my energy for delivery. I realize this post has been kinda long and rambling so I do apologize (it's been a long day and I'm really tired!) Here are some pics for you- my typical belly pic and some shots of the nursery!

Taken at 35 weeks and 3 days!




Sorry that these posted funny- I'm not really sure what happened!

Looking forward to meeting your little peanut. :o) You and Jeremy will be such loving parents. I know that the love you have for each other will grow even more when peanut is born. What a wonderful exciting time for your young one and each of you. The nursery is just precious, you have done a beautiful job of decorating for your little baby to come. Now rest up and take care of each other. I miss you very much. Take care and God Bless You!!
