So I will try and keep my post brief and just post lots of pics since those are more fun any way!
Here are just some pics from the shower decor and all the people who came.. I'm not gonna try and caption every photo though...
This is a blanket that was found when they cleaned out my grandmas house.. she sewed it and my grandpa tied it- so it's like I get to have a small piece of them. I love it. And I'm so glad that I got to have this
Not really sure what I was trying to do here with the stuffed animals... I guess I wanted them to be friends :)
Everyone was coveting this awesome blanket one of my friends made us- it's seriously so cute though!
All the LOOT! wahoo!!
me with all the stuff- (33 weeks along)
Me and my babe with all our awesome stuff- we are so blessed!
These next few are me with some friends from a work shower my manager threw me
mmmmmm cake pops...
some more recent pics of the nursery..
Found this bumper pad for 10 bucks. I'm pretty proud of myself cuz it goes so perfectly in the nursery :)
As of late I have become quite the bargain shopper too. I love it. I would thrift shop every day if I could! Who knew there were such amazing things out there if you just look. I figure if I can wash it- then who cares?? I got like 150 dollars worth of name brand baby clothes from places like Childrens Place, Gymboree, Carters and a bunch that they sell at target and kohls... all for under 20 bucks! and I washed them... and they are good as new. Babies wear clothes for such a short amount of time and just lay around all the time so these clothes could seriously be re-tagged and sold for full price back in the regular stores and no one would be able to tell the difference. I have a hard time going to the other stores now cuz of how much they want to charge for one little baby outfit. I actually got the idea from a friend of mine on facebook who is a big blogger and she is always finding her baby girl all these cute vintage dresses... so thats why I went to look. and I just kept finding awesome stuff!! So I highly recommend it to all you parents out there... you'll save a TON of money.
And well... here's another belly pic. 37 weeks!! holy crap that went by fast... now it just needs to be done lol. This pic is yucky but whatev...
I've been feeling like I need to be done being pregnant for about a week now. Too bad babies come on their own time. Who knows when she will decide to come at this point... knowing my luck she won't wanna come at all and I'll have to wait til a week after my due date to be induced- sad day! :(
Had a little labor scare at 33 weeks, the night before my piano recital. Not that I wouldn't LOVE to have her here... but 33 weeks is just WAY too early. Long story short... I was at work and started feeling sick and crappy... then my belly started hurting... then the belly contracting made me throw up a bunch... so everyone at work made me go to the hospital.. my manager even drove me too. My contractions were about 3-4 minutes apart and I couldn't get them to stop... so we had a fun trip to L&D to get a shot and an IV of fluids in me. Not fun at all, especially when they have to stick you 7 times to get the dumb IV in! ugh!! we were only there a few hours and once they stopped digging in my arms.. I got feeling much better and slowly the contractions tapered off and stopped and we got to go home. I have NO idea why this happened... I didn't do anything to provoke it and nothing I did that day was any different than every other day I've had in this pregnancy so it was all just kind of weird... and rather annoying.
Luckily.. if it happens again.. I won't have to stop it and she can just come! yay! she is considered full term now so I'm not as worried about it happening again. I just really don't want it to happen while I'm at work again though. That was awful. but I have the BEST co-workers on the planet. they all helped me SO much when all this happened... I even had one of them holding my hair while I puked... How nice is that??? They all took care of me and sent me on my way to the hospital.. I hardly had to do anything.. they did everything except carry me out to the car! lol. it was awesome! I totally owe them a ton for it. They went above and beyond what any co-worker needs to do for another. So glad I work there.
Anyway... not much else going on in our little world. My cute popo hubby is loving his job. I knew he would. But I'm just glad he is so happy with it. I never knew how much paperwork is involved with him being out on the road now but he doesn't mind it too much. We are hoping that things continue to go well and that soon he can transfer so he is working a little closer to home.
well, I think that's all for now.. we are all ready for this baby to come, so now we just wait. Hopefully it happens soon, cuz I am HATING these last few weeks. I'll try and keep you all posted. Hopefully my next post will involve the arrival of a new baby!! yay!!
Til next time...
