SO ANXIOUS!

My due date passed! And there is no sign of baby.  No contractions...No mucous plug...No nothing.  I really think this is the week. I'm super big and there is no more room for this little guy to grow.  I'm ready to give birth and hold him in my arms already.  I'm ready for the next chapter! I'm ready, but I guess he isn't quite yet. Grrrr.

34 Weeks 5 Days

Baby "room"

So Chris built the crib this past Saturday and I decorated it that night.  So much fun!! I have dusted and cleaned the floor a million times already.

More time at the beach :)

BABY SHOWER !! !!

My baby shower was on August 31st.  It was a great turnout!! I felt great being around the people I love. I danced, mingled and felt beautiful! It was my day - oh yes and of course Justin and Chris' :)  I was a trooper because I didn't even take off my silver peep toe pumps.  Mama was working it, or at least I felt I was!  I never really had a sweet 16 so this felt like my moment.

At the time that we opened presents (which I contemplated on doing because I don't like the "all eyes on me" feeling) we sat down and Chris had the mic.  By the way as soon as we walked in, everyone was giving Chris shots of Hennessy and of course he took all of them, and so it's safe to say that he was pretty "happy".  MIL handed us the presents, we opened them and he spoke.  He read the cards out loud and made everyone laugh with his comments.  At the end, of the gift opening portion I wanted to thank everyone for coming, especially because we had the microphone.  I took the microphone from Chris and began saying "I just want to thank everyone for coming, I really appreciate it...and I choked.  I got so emotional and started crying.  Chris had to finish off for me.  It was so funny.  I'm glad we have video footage of it =]

September is here !!

I am now 38 weeks and ready for baby to come.  I have become very anxious and I can't wait until he makes his grand entrance. My legs ache some days, my back really hurts too. I'm lucky my feet aren't swollen, but they do hurt sometimes.  Plus I feel so much pressure "down there" since he has dropped. I'm having BH Contractions, nothing major, they end up going away withing a few minutes.  I know he'll come when he is ready, but would reeeeaaalllly like it if he came this week :)
