Work has been extremely busy and with Thanksgiving in November and Christmas next week, I've been keeping plenty busy.
Last weekend Jackie threw a baby shower for me. It was perfect. A champagne brunch with friends and family. I was completely overwhelmed by the generosity of everyone, near and far... we had gifts shipped for her from California, Massachusetts, Florida, Colorado, Connecticut and Kentucky. This little girl is already spoiled!
My Mom and the Coulomb girls helped with the food and decor, it was all adorable! Here are a few pictures:
So we're down to 37 days until my due date. I've already got everything washed and put away that we got at the shower. Damon has put together the stroller, snap and go, pack-n-play, bouncy seat and swing. We're going to install the car seat in the coming days (just in case she decides to come early). I'm also going to pack my bag this weekend.
We played "guess the due date and weight" at the shower. The earliest guess was for 12/31, hopefully she hangs in longer than that. I'm good with anytime after January 7th, but my guess was January 17th, 6lbs 13oz. Damon thinks she's coming on January 14th (the day before his birthday).
My next doctor appointment is on Wednesday, so we'll see what they say.
2 weekends ago we did our hospital tour. It's so strange to think that the next time we go to that hospital, it will be to have the baby.
A few weekends ago Damon treated me to a "staycation" where he booked a hotel room for us for a night. We packed bags, checked in, went out to brunch, did some shopping, got massages, went out to dinner, out for drinks (kiddie cocktails for me). It was such a nice surprise, I owe him one!
More updates to come as the due date gets closer.
