Shower
My shower was just incredible. We got everything I could have wanted x1,000. Our families put so much hard work into it I just couldn't be more thankful. Since Justin's nursery theme is "froggies" my Mother-in-laws basement got turned into a lime green rainforest. It was SO cute- the pic doesn't do it justice. I think I'm going to skip the 35 week belly pic tomorrow for a few shower pics today...I can't believe how pregnant I look now! Haha!

Shower weekend!
I can't believe that it's the weekend of my shower already- holy moly! I have a long weekend from work (well with the exception of a 90 minute meeting tomorrow morning). Today I have a huge to-do list with cleaning and organizing some stuff in the house and it's "find a shower dress" day 2. Tomorrow I am using some of my birthday gift cards to have a little spa day. A pedicure (thanks to Jesse/Kelly) and a massage (thanks to Jess/Alex.) Then Sunday is the big party, I'm so so excited! I just have this feeling that once the shower is over and we bring home all that baby stuff my "flying by weeks" will come to a screeching halt. I can't imagine how the wait for him is going to feel once his little room is all set and full of cute stuff...

Psychic?
I was farting around on the computer when I found this... I remember I wanted to save it and see if it was true, just for fun. You didn't enter any information about yourself but you had to answer weird questions like; your favorite color, what time of day you were born and something about smells you like... Weird, I know. I did this back in like March so I figured I would post it here. I know its just some stupid website but the baby did turn out to be a boy AND we both have dark hair and hazel eyes.
The day you deliver, outside will be unusually hot. Your baby will arrive at night.
After a labor lasting approximately 24 hours, your child, a boy, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 8 pounds, 11 ounces, and will be 17-1/2 inches long. This child will have hazel eyes and dark hair.
But there is more. Although you may feel tired, your pregnancy will be over before you are truly ready to let go of having this precious baby you have all to yourself. I sense that you will look back and long for these days. I suggest doing something now to preserve some memories of this time

34 weeks
I know that I say this all the time- but these weeks are just flying by! My only big news is that I slept through the night last night. No restless legs- no hip pain- no getting up to pee. 11:30-7:00 just straight sleep, it was heavenly. I don't know what I did different but I wish I could figure it out.
Here's weekly belly pic =)

Weekend
We got back this morning from our family's annual (or bi-annual) fishing trip. We went to Lake Chautauqua for the weekend. The cottage and the weather were both really nice. I came very close to falling down the spiral staircase in my slipper socks but I managed to "grab" the railing with my armpit and only hurt my foot. The pain/bruise is way better than falling on my tummy I figured.
It's just fun to spend time with family relaxing. I stayed behind when everyone went fishing in the boat- they go out for hours and I can't hold my pee or stand that long, haha! I just lounged outside and watched the lake. I got a lot of reading done. It kinda hit me all at once that this was our last "vacation" before we're a mommy and daddy. Our 1st family vacation will be to Disney in May. (He will go at 6 months, I waited 21 years, lol) These last couple weeks have just flown by. On one hand I'm so excited to meet Justin, to kiss and snuggle him. On the other I'm going to miss being pregnant, it's almost over already! I love my tummy and the feeling of little baby movements. Maybe by the time I get to like 38/39 weeks maybe I'll change my tune.
The weekend went WAY too fast. I can't believe it's back to work tomorrow. I hate my job so much.

33 weeks (long update, lol)
My work is a short-staffed, poorly organized, mad house- I haven't even had time to blog this week! I'll try to blog the short version...
Most importantly I feel great! A little bit tired sometimes but really happy- I'm still loving pregnancy!
Last weekend was my birthday. I honestly gotta say it was one of the best that I can remember. Jody really went above and beyond! We went out for sushi lunch, a little roadtrip for apples/cider, lots of shopping (I was even "allowed" to pick out baby clothes, lol) and gorgeous flowers. We just happened to find a super good deal on a new wall oven so Jody bought it. I was SO excited I wanted to cry! (It was fun to have the same oven as Carol Brady- but her's worked better in the 60's when it was made). Saturday I went to the "Mothertime marketplace" sale with Jess and Linda- that was fun. Very crowded but lots of good deals. I got to visit Reese and Rory twice which was awesome- they are such cuties. Then we ended the weekend with a lil birthday BBQ at my dad's house. My fam is adorable and picked out some very thoughtful gifts for me.
One of the shopping places that had to shop at was kmart. They had tote bins on sale and I need them for my surplus baby outfits. We were cashing out and the lady was like "how far along are you" so I said, "oh about 7 1/2 months". She said, " wow, you are beautiful- your face and everything, you're so lucky to be so pretty" and then went on to tell me that she was "huge" and had to wear a harness. So it was a little weird but SO nice just out of the blue.
Justin's bedding is washed and on his little crib. His curtains are just waiting to be hung. I started to wash all his little outfits and realized I have a baby shopping addiction, haha. He's doing great. I can NOT believe how strong he is. Today my right ribs hurt so bad- I'm thankful that he's healthy and active but the boy is a little beast. I'm not exaggerating, I think I have internal bruising. Maybe he's excited like I am because we have 2 big weekends coming up. This weekend we are taking our annual fishing trip with my family. Fishing, s'mores, board games, campfires- woohoo! Then next weekend is the shower- yay!
Well here's my obligatory picture- it had to be another bathroom pic because I Jody won't be home until 8 and I want into my PJs ASAP- which are not picture worthy =)
