2 more weeks and counting

I have a feeling I'm looking more at another 3 weeks. I've made almost no progress but hey, they say that's normal and everything is moving along just as it should. I guess we can only wait and see.

Well I have officially stopped working. I wanted to work right up until but it was getting too hard. Being on my feet and having to bend over to wash hair all the time was just hurting my body too much. I was feeling more useless than useful and I didn't want my girls to have to rely on me when I couldn't hardly do anything anyway. It was harder than I thought it would be to leave. I definitely don't feel ready to completely quit. I just hope I don't get too bored waiting around for this baby to come. I am making to-do check lists and so far I am keeping busy! Although I can't believe it's not December yet!

Anyway, one thing I've been doing a lot of lately that is bringing me joy is lunch dates with friends. It's funny but as I get closer, more of my friends are reaching out and wanting to get together. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love it! I have just felt so blessed and loved lately. I have amazing friends and family. This baby has been so richly spoiled and he doesn't even know it! I can't wait to meet him and show him off to the world. I don't want to get into specifics but I just wanted to say that people are truly amazing and I don't know what I'd do without all the kindness given to me. I don't always feel like I deserve it but I guess that makes me appreciate it and be more grateful. I only hope I can do the same!

Hopefully my next post will be the birth announcing instead of more rambling or complaining of, 'when will this ever end!!!' stay tuned...

6 weeks to go!

Time is drawing closer and I'm going through every emotion.  Excitement, Nervous, Anxious, Scared, Worried, Curious.... you name it!  Mostly I am just impatient I think.  I mean, I'm glad I've still got some time to get things ready, but I am getting more and more ready to not be pregnant anymore!  I can't believe how long it feels.  I'm sure once this kid is here and like a month old I'll think time is flying by so fast.  Plus I keep hearing stories of women who had their babies early and that concerns me a little.  I don't have any reason to suspect that this baby will come any sooner than his due date of 12/12/12.  If he really loves me, he'll come ON his due date and be just the coolest kid ever!  Anyway, I wanted to share a few photos from my baby shower and then from Halloween (I went as a peanut m&m) just to show off the belly.  I don't have any desire to take belly pictures, even if I'm the only one who sees them.  I've been looking at it every day and freezing this appearance in time is not appealing to me.  But here are some just for kicks, I guess.  I had a great shower!  I have the best in-laws ever!!!  They have really spoiled me and continue to spoil me.  I don't know what we would do without them.  It does make me sad that my family isn't here to join in on the fun but I am hoping they will get to meet him soon. Oh and check out my pumpkin this year. Nemo! The pics are a little blurry but you get the idea. I won first place this year too! He's so stinking cute, my favorite part is his fins!!
