Busy Weekend!

So it's going to be a busy weekend!

Tonight I have to go to my boss's surprise 40th birthday party. It should be fun but it's quite a drive to get back home so I won't be home until late probably. Tomorrow I have to get up and go shopping (and try to return some stuff) to Babies R Us and Target. I have to get a baby shower gift for a coworker and then a wedding gift for someone. Then it's off to said wedding that is about an hour and a half away. Probably won't be home until late again (going with my parents and they say that they want to leave by a certain time but we will see!). Then Sunday I'm very excited to be getting my maternity pictures done! I think they are going to awesome and I can't wait!!! Then I am meeting my friend who lives in Michigan now for a bit because she wasn't able to make it to my shower and she has a gift for me. I'm very excited to see her because it's been a few months! :) Then Monday I have my next doctors appointment. So all in all a very busy weekend with not much time to relax or sleep. Hopefully I won't get too cranky.

I don't think I've done much of an update on how I'm doing with baby so I probably should. I'm still feeling pretty good overall. My right foot and ankle swell just about every day. But not my left. They say it has to do with how the baby is laying. I just look like a freak that's all! It doesn't really bother me until it gets really bad and hurts because the skin is stretching so much. But I try to stay off my feet as much as possible so I don't make it worse. Everything still looks good though and no other problems. At my last appointment two weeks ago I did have to do a non-stress test because I hadn't been feeling her as much but as soon as I was hooked up to everything she went crazy! So I think she was just relaxing for a few days but they wanted to be sure so we did it. I can't believe how time is flying. Only 34 more days until she (might) be here. I'm hoping I don't go over but knowing my luck I will! I'm working up to the last minute possible so hopefully there are no issues and I'm able to. After my appointment on Monday I will start going every week until she arrives so that will be fun. Hopefully she comes a little early though because I don't want to be late :) I'm also scheduled to go to a breastfeeding class on July 12th so hopefully she doesn't come before that because I would like to go to that class! I think that's about all the updates for now!

Our Baby Shower

So last Sunday was our baby shower and it was wonderful! We spent most of Saturday at my parents house getting last minute things done and it rained some so we were nervous. But there ended up being no rain at all! It was kind of humid and warm but I would take that over rain anyday!!


We were very blessed and got almost everything we needed for her! There is still some things we need to pick up but we will do that probably in the next 2 weeks. I might go shopping this weekend at Target and get some stuff. We will see. I have more clothes than I know what to do with (at least in the smaller sizes - bigger sizes not so much so I do need to buy a few things in bigger sizes) and we got tons of wipes! Not as many diapers but lots of wipes :)


See pics below!

So much going on!

So much is going on right now I don't even know where to begin!

This week was our annual work meeting for GOJO. Everyone from the company was in. It was a good but long week!! It's nice to see everyone though. We did get to go out to Clay's Park on Weds but it had rained all day so it was really muddy. I almost fell a few times but luckily I didn't! I didn't win anything though which made me sad :( I won two years ago at bingo a few times but with the rain and not much else to do so many people were playing and so odds were slim. But it seemed like the same people won multiple times. Just luck of the draw with the cards I guess! My co-workers did have a baby shower for me on Monday though :) I was surprised - I had some idea that they were going to do it this week while everyone was in but I had no idea it was going to be Monday. They were all beyond generous with gifts and I'm so grateful. I got something I really wanted which was the rocker and ottoman! They also got me two activity sets (one that she can walk around the toys and the other was a jumper), our swing, our bouncer, the cover for the car seat for the winter time to keep her warm and the carrier to have her strapped on us. Plus some other people got me clothes, a glow worm, head bands/hair clips, diapers, wipes, books, and so much more! They were all so wonderful and I couldn't be more thankful!! I love them all dearly and they are the best!!

And on the note of showers - ours is the weekend! I can't believe it's here already. I took today off to recuperate from this week and to finish some last minute shopping with my mom. We are going to be doing that in a bit and then spending some final hours at my parents making sure everything is ready. Unfortunately, I think it's going to rain all weekend. It's just our luck. Oh well. We will just do the best we can. I can't wait to see everyone though!!

On a baby note - everything is looking good! I'm 33 weeks and 2 days today, less than 7 weeks to go! I can't believe how fast it is approaching. I think we have figured out our hospital (Akron General) and I think we are pretty much ready. We just have to finish up her room (Ben has painted but he has some trim to put up around the door still). Once Ben finishes that I just need to mop the floor and then its time to start putting everything together! I plan on doing some of it on Monday after the shower but knowing my hubby that's not going to happen. We will see though :)

Alright I will be back after this weekend to update on how the shower goes!
