The time is drawing near

I can not believe it is almost D-Day! Where did these past 8 1/2 months go? Time sure has flown by, Al and I had our last baby shower last night that Katie, Jessica and Allison hosted here at our house. It was so nice and relaxed. The girls made sure that I did not do anything, which is easier said than done. But I think with enough yelling and hair pulling (kidding) they finally got me to sit down on the couch and relax while I watched them take over and clean the house and decorate for the shower. It was a lot smaller shower than the first two which was nice, I think the bigger my belly gets the less entertaining I become.  Chance's nursery is basically complete the only thing I would like to get is a baby monitor and a diaper stacker oh and of course I do need to still purchase a lovely breast pump...yay!!
   Al and I drove out to Arlington today to have lunch with my best friend Jessica, her fiance Jay and their daughter (my god daughter) Gwendolyn. There was a few times I looked over at Al and saw him just starring and Gwen. It was so sweet, I asked if he was studying her patterns and he just laughed and shook his head no, and said he was just watching her. He told me later in the car that he has a good feeling that we are going to have a great kid that is not going to cry much and just be really laid back and cool. I laughed and told him that I am recording this moment in my memory bank so when things are chaotic I can find humor in the moment of chaos.
   Overall I am feeling great, there have been moments here and there that my feet are super swollen, and times were I get winded easier but I honest can not complain. I feel really good and still have a lot of energy for the most part. I will say that it has been frustrating trying to find pants that fit, especially going into the colder season on the year, so yoga pants have been my best friend for the most part. Poor Al really does not see a very attractive Shauna anymore around the house. I am all about comfort these days, I have my moments of trying to dress up but even those times there is definitely not a 100% effort and they are few and far in between. Hopefully, soon enough I will get somewhat of a figure back after Chance is born. Just need to make sure I am laying off all the amazing chocolate chip cookies that I have been baking.
