2 down, 2 to go!

Had my second baby shower a couple of days ago given by my sister-in-law. Jessica went above and beyond anything I could have wanted. Since our babies theme is frogs, she let everyone know and even decorated, gifted and did everything within our theme. It was great seeing that side of Jason's family, and it was so nice of them to all come together for my shower!

Ho Hum

Things are going by what now seems SO SLOW!! I feel like it all went by so fast, and now that I am reaching the end, I feel like it will never get here! I had my doctors appointment on Monday and she said that my stomach size is text book - meaning I am at the perfect normal size for a woman at this stage of my pregnancy. Good News!! Maybe that means this child will not be ginormous!! He may be average :) I am so scared to give birth - a little late now, right? I just hope this little guy is just that - a little guy! We are still working on things that need to be done. We did meet with a pediatrician yesterday. A really nice man that came highly recommended from two of my friends. We both agreed that he was going to be the babies doctor. He had some great philosophy, was younger and just all around nice guy. Other than that, I have 3 more baby showers before the final due date. My last day of work will be November 23rd, and lets just hope I get to celebrate my birthday and thanksgiving without anything too big happening!

Keeping you updated

So here are a couple recent pictures. We have only 6 more weeks!! I can't even believe it!!

SURPRISE!!

Had my first baby shower yesterday. The women at my club threw me a surprise baby shower. But the surprise was on them! As they stood facing the door waiting for me to come in, I came in the back door behind everyone!! It was very funny as they turned around and saw me standing there!! I had a wonderful time and was treated very well with tons of things for the baby. Yummy food, DELICIOUS cake and even mom was there. Jason saw everything and was worried we would not have the room - but I assured him that everything had a home. So that's what I did this morning - I found everything a home!!

Appendix is outta there!!

I know that just about everyone who reads this knows, but in case you don't Ill fill you in. 2 weeks ago today I had my appendix removed. I went into the hospital with pains around 3:00. They discovered that I was having contractions, stopped them, and sent me home. Around 11:30 that night something did not feel right, so we were back in the hospital. They could not figure out what was wrong with me, but I knew something was not right and I refused to leave till they told me what was going on. They moved Jason and I into a delivery room (which was BEAUTIFUL!) and continued tests on me all night and Jason slipped in and out of sleep on the pull out couch. At 7:30 am a doctor came into my room, poked around a bit and said I needed to have my appendix out. I was FLIPPING out!! Jason made some phone calls, and mom was waiting with Jason in pre op when I got there. I chose to take the spinal and be a awake for the surgery since it was the best thing for the baby. I woke up in recovery feeling sore and ready to see how the baby was.
I was in the hospital for 3 days before I was released. The babies heartbeat never dropped, and he kicked so much after the surgery was over. The pain killers did not affect him at all. I am back at work today for the first time and I'm still a little sore. But all I can do is thank God everyday for getting me and the baby through this surgery, both healthy, and stronger.
Jason has been a saint through it all. He makes sure that I am comfortable and has helped me out with everything from phone calls to my many Monday errands. I feel so blessed to have him in my life.
