Every Week...

Yes we are officially going to the doctor EVERY WEEK!!  I cannot believe that this pregnancy has flown by as fast as it has.  Today I am 35 weeks and 4 days pregnant.  We have 31 days left until our due date (June 11th).  I have a doctors appointment tomorrow!  We are getting so close to meeting our precious little girl.

It seems like I still have SO much to do before she arrives, but I know that I will get it all done.  We have been slowly but surely getting our bags packed for the hospital.  This is a hard one...I am sure that I will overpack just like I do every time I pack for a vacation, but I have no clue what I will need.  We still have to install our car seat in my car and get it inspected by the fire department (hoping to get this completed this weekend).  I already have most of her clothes, blankets, sheets, towels, etc washed so they are all ready for her!  Oh and the nursery...it is really coming together!  I am not going to post any more pictures of her room until it's complete, it will be more exciting at the finale!!  =)

Stay tuned for the update after our doctors appointment tomorrow!

Here are the most recent pictures taken of the bump...34 weeks and 2 days



Baby Shower at Work

Last week my office threw me and Michael a baby shower.  I was so excited because my mom was able to come up for the shower and Michael was in town (since he stopped traveling the week before).  My mom made a special trip up just for the shower and then she went back home.  Thanks mom for taking the time to make the trip up.  I cannot tell you how much it meant to me for you to be there!!  I love you very much! Michael and I got all kinds a great baby gifts...our highchair, diapers, blankets, cute monogrammed stuff (burp clothes, bibs, etc), bumbo, clothes, etc.  The baby gifts were great, but on top of that the food was wonderful!!  My favorite part...the 2 tier chocolate cake with chocolate icing!!!!  I absolutely love chocolate  cake!! =)

My mom took a couple of pictures from the shower so enjoy.












I cannot thank everyone enough for taking the time to throw us a shower and for all of our wonderful baby gifts!! 

Michael Stops Traveling!!!

This is the moment that I have been waiting for!  Michael has been traveling for the past 6 weeks and me, Morgan, and Kiki have been very lonely.  April 30th was his last day to travel.  We are now enjoying time together as a couple before Morgan decides to join us.  

I am so blessed to have Michael as my husband.  He comes home every night and cooks me dinner so that I can sit and prop my feet up (since the swelling is still awful). =)  I have to mention also that he has been a trooper through this pregnancy...recently Michael and I attended a 4 course child birth class (yes he actually went and we learned some things), but the most recent class was the breast feeding class.  Michael did not want to go.  I told him that if he was the only guy there then I would let him leave.  We get to the class and there are about 5 women walking in by themselves and I was thinking to myself that I was going to have to go to this class by myself...and all of a sudden we look over and a guy is getting out of his car and starts walking towards the building (this is the moment that Michael started praying that this guy was going to walk into a different building), yes this guy was going to the breast feeding class.  So about 35 women and 3 guys sat through a two hour breast feeding class that night.  Michael caught up on some national news on his iphone while we were in the class, but he is a multi-tasker so I still think he learned some good info so that he can help me be successful at breast feeding!  I love my husband!!  I cannot wait to see him in action as a DAD.  He is going to be a wonderful father!
