The nursery, the shower, the waiting

Guess I have been a little busy or preoccupied lately. Too long between posts but here is the latest news

1. Dan has worked extremely hard on the nursery and it looks beautiful. Still waiting on a few furniture pieces but it is suitable for baby's homecoming. Pictures to follow.

2. We are at the 35 week mark but still measuring 1 week ahead. My next appointment is Tuesday (at 36 weeks) and this is when we start going every week. My hopes are too high that I will actually be dilated during this appointment!

3. We had a gorgeous baby shower this past Sunday afternoon hosted by our family friend Abbie Rogers. She even had my friend from high school, Adam Bryan and his wife Allie there to take pictures. Professional photographers for my baby shower! I was blown away. I am sure they will post pictures and I will update that. Their website is www.abryanphotography.com Thank you to everyone for your kindness and generosity... we are so blessed!

4. Physically I feel okay just getting more tired and sore. Emotionally I feel a bit of a mess. I tend to be up and down a lot lately. I think this is due to anxiety about when the baby will actually come and being as prepared as possible. (not to play therapist on myself or anything :) )

5. I think this last month is the true battle... getting ready, trying not to be overly anxious, feeling too large to do much of anything, and trying to enjoy your last days just you and your husband. I know Dan and I will be great parents and will love having this baby in our lives, but at the same time I know we will miss our time just the two of us. Thankfully we have lots of willing babysitters so weekly date night will be a must!

That's all for now but I promise to post some pictures soon.
