Wow so much happens in such a small amount of time. The nursery is coming along more and more! Painting is done, the crib and changing table are put together and decorating started today. Slowly but surely it is looking more and more like a nursery, a lot of love has already been put into it, and a lot more to come.
Today, I had my first baby shower! Had so much fun, this one was held at Subie's (my mother at work) house. Which she, my sister Michelle, my "other" sister Kristin and my dear friend Mariah hosted. There was a good amount of dear friends from the Y that attended, and a few of my close friends from church. Opening all the shower gifts was overwhelming for me, I hate being the center of attention and I always feel like I don't express how appreciative I am of all the gifts and everything my friends have given by just a thank you.... the gratitude goes so far beyond just those two words. There was a moment today when I looked around and saw all the people that were around me and realized how blessed I am to have each one of these individuals in my life. Each person has touched my heart and my life in one way or another and has helped me through this pregnancy is one way or another. Either by personal advise, having a listening ear, making me laugh and just wanting to get a good belly rub in. I feel so blessed. I must say too though that I did give some amazing hand made gifts to my wonderful hosts.... I have absolutely no creative stitch in me so I have no idea how I was capable of thinking of this idea or actually putting them together and having them turn out so cute. My little treasure boxes to those I treasure.
Our little man did give Al and I a scare last week... I called my doctor on Thursday to let her know that I had not felt any movements or kicks for the past 2 days. Which led me to be asked to go to Labor and Delivery, I had a heart rate monitor placed on my belly to hear his heart beat. All checked out great, his heartbeat was strong and healthy, thank God!!! When my doctor called me the next day to ask if I had felt anything yet I still had not. Which led to going to her office for a sonogram to check his heart beat, breathing, movement and amniotic fluid. Mr. Chance passed with flying colors in all 4 areas, but he was breach and that may have been a reason I could not feel anything. Luckily though he finally decided to start kicking and moving around again a day later. Little stinker is being stubborn and giving us a hard time already and he is not even born yet.... what is this mommy in for??!!!!
Here is a picture of the wonderful hostesses from the shower, each one I am so blessed to have in my life!
