Tuesday Tirade...

Here is a pic from the shower. The diaper cake was made by my step-mom.

Okay I start with a bit of a tirade today!



Today I had a doctors appointment at 9 am. The parking spots at this place are pretty much all compact spaces, which luckily I have a tiny Toyota Corolla. So, when I get there I always park away from cars so I can maximize the space I am given. Now for the last 2 appointments some jack ass (excuse my french) has parked SO close that I have a hard time getting in my car to leave. It is so frustrating! HELLO the 9 month preggo hear can't suck in the stomach. I am to the point where I don't mind dinging cars because they deserve it. Today the lucky car was a BMW convertible with the top down. I could give a flying you know what for damaging a door so I can get in my car to leave. Can someone tell me how hard it is to back up and situate your car so that both cars on either side can get out? UGH



Tirade over!!



SO today was my 35 week appointment. I am now officially a ever week appointment preggor!! WOO HOO! Anywho, he did the Strep B culture... feel a little violated, but hell I am pregnant so I should get used to it by now. I was dissapointed becuase he didn't check for progress. I was hoping he would but no he didn't. Why is it that doctors never divulge information willingly. It is like I have to beat it out of him! UGH! Oh well... Baby is healthy and that is all that matters. My fundus height was on track, as was the heartbeat! The countdown is on! Is there some kind of tracker you can put on a blog? If you know please let me know!



Okay so I didn't get a chance to get into too much detail about the baby shower. I am now blanking on what I already wrote... It was more of a low key shower than Angela's! We played a few games, but none that exuded social interaction. We did the necklace "Can't say baby game" Brenna won that one. We did a "Guess how many" game which consisted of cotton balls in a giant bottle my aunt Joyce won that one. The last game was a diaper raffle. My cousin Isabelle won that one. We mainly all relaxed and mingled.



If Emma decided to enter the world today I would be okay because we now have everything we could possibly need and it is all washed! I even got me a hooter hider! I wasn't going to but I splurged. The one thing I didn't get was the sling, but I have time on that. I am in major nesting mode again, because my plan is to have the whole house organized and clean before she comes, so when I come home I am coming home to a nice clean house. Anyone think that can happen?



Okay, so everytime I go to other blogs I sit in awe over how great they look and how interesting they are. I am in a rut and hope that I get more viewers. I know of 2 consistant ones. My hubby comes on, but only if I leave the window up. He gets a kick out of it. I guess I want it more inticing. I need to look into creative posts. The Thursday 13 is the only one right now and for the most part not that consistant, except I am almost done with the promised Thursday 13: Fave quotes from Friends when Rachel was pregnant. So if you have any advice or insight into livening this site up please let me know! I am cheap though so hopefully it won't cost me anything... okay I am not cheap, but Eric would not be happy spending money for this blog.



Hope you all are enjoying your Tuesday! I am off to hopefully take a quick nap.

Baby Shower and more!

*** I hope to post some pics of the baby shower later... I am upstairs with my lap top and the camera is downstairs... Stairs are my enemy right now!***

Yesterday was my baby shower! My aunt, mom, and mother in law did a fabulous job putting it all together! They are truly the best! I had so much fun being with my family and friends, some I haven't seen in a while! It was a lot smaller than than Angela's and only females were invited, which I wanted this time around. I am obsessed with pink this time around. Angela's theme was more neutral and she loves the color pink. I am the opposite this time around, so I am wondering if Emma will be repulsed by the color when she is older. We did a brunch theme and all the food was yummy. The cake turned out so beautiful! (will have pics posted soon)! I loved all my gifts. Emma will be styling in all her clothes. All the gifts will be used! I love getting shampoos and such because the bottles are so big that I know that I will never have to buy them. It was the best day ever and I appreciate all that was done to make the day that special! A special thanks to my photographer Brenna!

This week I enter my 9th month. The end is really near! With the baby shower having come and gone I now feel ready for her to be here! I have everything I need and now I just need the baby to for it all to be used! I think Emma has sensed my calmness, because I had more braxton hicks than usual today. Today I go to the doctor for my strep B test. He is also going to check for dialation while at it. I am hoping for some small progress. I doubt it, but still keeping my fingers crossed.

This Friday Angela is going to San Fransisco with my mother in law to visit my brother in law and his fiance. I am so excited for her to go, but also anxious because my baby has never been that far away without me. I know I will cry when she leaves. I just pray Emma doesn't decide to come while they are gone! I hope Emma loves her sister enough to stay put!

I wanted to include more, but for once I am actually tired early and I have to get up early for my appointment. So I will leave off with a to be continued...
