Baby Shower Pics

These are pics from my baby shower, which was actually back in November, but just getting pics from it now =)!

Only Days =0)!!

I am now 38 weeks and counting by days now... 14 days left yeay!! I included a picture of a baby room that I found on the internet, I loved how different and unique it looked, after seeing the prices for the very expensive designer baby rooms, I decided to recreate it and I will be posting pictures soon!! I found fabric online that I loved and I started sewing as soon as the fall semester at BSU ended. I am beyond excited at how well it is turning out, it is soo cute, and on top of that I have only spent about $50 on everything that I have in the room so far. That inlcudes the entire crib set (skirt and all) sewn by me, the glider rocking chair that I found on craigslist, which I made a new pillow and seat cushion for (to make it more modern), and the awsome white crib (my friend gave to me!) I wanted the room to look so great and alot like the one shown above, I just can't believe the luck that I have had in getting all of that for so little money, without loosing the integrity of the room. I get such a rush from creating and making new things, it has been so fun, and it keeps me busy since we all know that the last few weeks are the slowest ones LOL!

I keep seeing pictures of all of my friends with little newborn cuties, and I am soo excited to experience having a baby again. I am anxious to see my little boy who has been an only child for 6 1/2 years now become a big brother and to have him be able to experience the joy that comes from having that constant connection with our new addition. My husband has a little boy who is also 6 years old that lives in Kansas and so my little boy has been able to spend time with him in the past 2 years, and they get along so well for being the same age AND boys, it has been a surprisingly good exp. =) I think it will also help him get through some really hard things that he shouldn't have to go through in his life, and focus on the positive changes. Being a mom is definitely the most rewarding and the most challenging thing that we can ever go through in our lives; I wouldn't change it for the world!

Waiting!

Today I have about 17 days until I am due, and I am soo ready to have our little boy. I have been trying to keep my mind off of the due date but it is like a big fat elephant in the room staring at me with his huge ears saying hahahaha. LOL It is interesting this week because I have been feeling pretty great for the last month but this week hit me like a freight train! I have pain in places that I don't even want to mention =). I hope that this is my body's way of saying the baby's on it's way. I have to share a funny experience I had at the hospital in the out-patient services. My blood type is O negative and so my OB had to order a rhogham for me. My apt. was set for 11:30 on friday morning last week, when I got to the hospital I got a little lost and passed the sign in desk for the outpatient like 5 times, the nurses and I had quite the laugh (very typical of me). So they ask me to wait in this room that is pretty small with a bunch of chairs in it. When I walked in I was surrounded by lots of elderly people and I felt so bad because they were all hooked up to machines with blood and platelettes stuff and I thought am I in the right room? I love older people because they do have some of the best stories but I really thought I am pregnant and 25 and I was a little nervous because I thought did my OB order the right thing!LOL So I sat down in one of these big ol reclining chair things and when I did I couldn't get back up because I am 37 weeks preggers and let me tell you when a chairs leans back into the north 40 it is NOT, let me reiterate NOT comfortable or easy to get back out! I was also a little nervous and when I get that way and become like the entertainment.... I act pretty goofy, like a nervous goofiness. So I am sitting in the most uncomfortable chair and it is about 12:15 by now and the nurse sitting at the check-in tells me that she has called down to the lab and they are on their way up, so another 15 minutes passes by and the nurses coming in and out (who were super cute and bubbly ladies) were joking about how people come here all the time to get blood and platelette things done but whenever somebody comes to get a simple shot or blood drawn that it takes forever! So the poor nurse at the front desk calls down again and apparently the lab is confused and they also see that before they can bring the shot up they need to have updated records of my blood type. We are now sitting at 1:15 (almost 2 hours for this shot LOL) and the lab finally gets someone up to the room to take my blood. Then she says "someone will be up here shortly to give you your shot" hmm.... I think that there must be a different definition for shortly here LOL. Now one thing I did forget to mention is that in this room there is absolutely NOTHING to do, no mags, no tv, nada.... and when I had left that morning I thought that at the most it would be like an hour apt (because for real it is a hospital) and so I thought I would wait to eat lunch until I got back...... yeah not good. I was soo hungry that I was about to eat.... well anything. At the end of my journey at the hospital I had been there for about 3 hours and the shot that I thought wasn't going to hurt (because of previous encounters with it the first time I had a baby) hurt like CRAZY and the nurse admitted that the lab had used a much bigger needle than they usually do (great). But after all of that I left laughing because it was just soo ridiculous, and after all... life is too short so, laugh at it!
