Shower today!

Today was the day that I was "Showered" with love and attention... Actually as I explained to my dad, (it was his first shower in his life!) it was a Pre-Birthday party for Bumpy. I'm going to post some of the pictures on Monday as tomorrow is Mom's day and I will have those pictures to post as well.

In the morning I actually got the "Mommy hair cut" which made me feel happy because I got it washed and I can defiantly feel the difference that their water made my hair feel verses the water we have in the house.

It was fun! No smell the diaper :( but I can live. That was actually one game I was looking forward to playing. Games that were played: feel the bag of small stuffs, Guess the number of cotton balls, measure the belly (mine, not hubbies) and the if you say the naughty word you need give up the baby clip. My game was the guess the due date, due time and gender. I need to write it out here too so people can see their guesses as well. Other than that the food and the people were awesome! Couldn't ask for a better day and if a few more people showed it would have been the icing on the cake but there is other things in the world besides my baby shower.

Pictures coming soon!

April 30, 0 more days to go

So wrapping up the month of April, I have though it over and its been a mixed month for me. I would say 50% of April has been good (I give mass props to Bumpy for the better luck). I would say 25% of April was Bad (my luck) and 25% of this month has been Excellent due to Bumpy, family and all around just being able to live to see tomorrow.

I received a nice card from Hubby's East Bay relatives with a GC for Bumpy. I also want to thank Auntie to the North for the Co-Sleeper. It arrived today as I was walking to the front steps. Gurr the mail man for not helping me but I got it in the house just fine. Though I took my time and it was heavier than I though it would be (I guess seeing it in the stores put together they are lighter and less compact). We need to clear out the space in the bedroom for it as well, so it might not be till two weekends (or ASAP if Bumpy comes early) till me and hubby set it up.

I can imagine the phone call I would place to work if it was set up close to my side of the bed. "Sorry I can't come to work right now. I am trapped in bed because there is a co-sleeper next to me and I can't get up!" I would get "Yeah sure.. you just need to move it and come in, BTW its a half a point due to the fact that you are late for work". DO'H!

I am hoping that my last day will be the 15th of May (Friday) (Also me and hubby's one year anniversary) also I would be 37 weeks 3 days. I also hope that the come back to work date would be Aug. 31st (Monday), that's if money isn't tight at that time. I want to try and be back around the time the other co-worker leaves for maternity leave, some sick work-aholic in me feels the need to be kind to work like that. In a wonderful world I would take the full 7 months off and look up in Oregon for a job and have my first 2 weeks back as my last two weeks, but alas that is a wonderful world and its not this world. Also would have some education from a Community College (Billing and Coding classes) in my brain for the jobs that require it that I see up there.

PS I am going to get a Camera sometime this weekend and will have a picture of the belly!

April 29, 1 more day to go

Not that I am excited or anything that this month is about wrapped up. Some how I am 35 weeks; 35 days to go, and on other places I am getting to be around that time as well. I guess I am going to go with what my doctor says as I am getting a bit too big for even my taste. But the baby will get here when it wants so I can't really say anything about time. Early or late its at a point where it can be born with out major complications and might surpass Hubby with being born on time or late like me.

I again thank the Aunt to the North for the baby items. I feel very happy that Bumpy is coming into a very loving family. I have a question though. Was it Aunt from the North or some one else that sent a shirt, a blanket and a crib sheet from Natural Organic Baby? There was no note or ship from and its from the state of Washington so I don't want to leave a thanks undone.

I am trying to order Thank You cards but I don't like the ones I see on line. I might have to talk Hubby to take me to Bridgepoint to the Hallmark store to order them there. Or since I have the order sku's I could call it in, unsure.

April 27, 3 more days to go

Stayed home today from work due to my crotch hurting. Its normal due to the baby is heavy and getting big in there and finding a nice place to rest its head. The advice nurse at L&D stated it was Round Ligament Pain but it was 6 in the morning and as I kept telling her it was in my crotch. "Take Tylenol and if that doesn't help then call back." The Tylenol did help but as I was in bed for most of the day I just took it one pain at a time. I also had another migraine as the morning dawned.

Packages arrived today as well. Hubby got pants, I got an Egg and Sperm from ThinkGeek and a few presents for the baby that won't be opened till the baby shower. Thanks R&K and Auntie (again). I need to order thank you cards as the gifts come in!
