It's a Baby Shower

 *Said like Franck Eggelhoffer, Father of the Bride, Part II. You've got to watch this. Magical.

 Here is our lovely abode at the moment and one of my shower cakes: 

As I sit here eating my cold, leftover spaghetti (which tastes like heaven), I am so overwhelmed! EVER SO GRATEFUL, but overwhelmed! Two baby showers in one week: one given by my GULS (Court, Molls, Meg, Hillary, Kate & Emmy) and the other by my work wife Rachel and faculty at school. Now…I guess this is where the nesting comes in handy! I've done a few things, but waiting on some storage for the nursery to actually put stuff away. Good thing I will have all of June, a mom and sister off work, and a husband who shakes his head “yes dear” when it comes to organizing, then exits to the garage.

The Usual Prego Update:

How Far Along: 32 weeks-she is getting rowdy in there, almost 4 lbs!

Maternity Clothes: still a mix of maternity and flowing regular tops, all maternity bottoms, as many dresses/skirts as possible

Sleep: up 2-3 times per night to feel my way to the bathroom and shift the belly.

Best Moment This Week: Katie has done an AMAZING job on the nursery walls (see her FB) and TWO baby showers! I walk in there every morning, smiling and talk to nobody-well, I guess Norah hears me. 

Miss Anything: Frozen Margaritas and allergy shots

Movement: I was right about having my own Sophia Grace in there! Always dancing/kicking/hiccupping! I got a cool video of her having the hiccups today-sister thought is was amazing, husband thinks its weird. Goof.

Food Cravings: I’m pretty open to any type of food…frequently.

Anything making me sick or nauseas: the “birthing” process…still in the fetal position crying with a mix of nervous laughter. Mom....

Gender: Got Pink?  

Labor Signs: “pressure down there” which is fun to explain at school as to why I have to stop walking, talking, snacking, etc. and rest for a minute. 

Symptoms: Sleepy. Hungry. Thirsty. Fussy. Repeat. (Am I a newborn? My family would have to say YES)

Belly Button: It’s out. Eva loves it. The husband, once again, thinks it looks weird. Can’t wait for his reaction in labor & delivery…once again, enter sisters/mom. 

Wedding Rings: On

Happy or Moody: 9 days left of school…I’m about to lose it. Just. Keep. Swimming.  

Looking Forward To: Shopping with the sista’s on Friday for hers room (I’ve already found the hot dog stand where I want to eat), Nesting, wedding/baby showers, last days of school...These are the Days of our Lives...
