I HEART baby showers! I HEART hitting the 30 week mark!! Let me tell you, it has been such an eventful and fun week for Matt, the baby and I!
As I prepared for my baby shower this last weekend, Matt headed out to Dallas, TX to spend some much needed "man" time with a bunch of his friends he worked with in Corfu, Greece back in college. Boys don't like baby showers anyway...so off with the husband!!! hahaha He and his friends were able to scalp tickets to the Dallas Cowboys vs Green Bay Packers game. He had a blast and did all that "man" stuff they do...which he needs to get as much of as he can before the baby girl arrives and the boys will be outnumbered in our household!!
My Mom was nice enough to stay with me while he was gone...I was having dreams of waking up in labor in the middle of the night and having to hop in the Hummer and drive myself to Summerlin hospital then not being able to find a parking spot and ultimately having the baby in the Hummer. Yikes!! So, yes I asked my Mom to stay with me :)
My Mom, Patti, my best girlfriend, Alison, and Matt's Mom, Cathleen, threw me the most amazing baby shower on Saturday. It was phenomenal and was by far the best baby shower I've ever been to!! Really...and not just because it was mine :) About 55 of my friends and family came to celebrate our little one on the way and oh my goodness, the gifts!! There were so many gifts!! I was, to say the least, very overwhelmed by the generous and wonderful items they all purchased for the baby and I had a hard time keeping back my tears of happiness while reading all of their sweet cards and notes to us. It took me two hours to open them all!
Matt returned back from Dallas the night of the baby shower and he was floored when we drove up to the house....a Hummer, a GMC truck and a car packed full! Lots of stuff to put together honey!! We definitely had full intention of getting everything put together and displayed perfectly in her room, but four days later I'm still trying to find a place for all of the gifts that are covering her floor from one end to the other! The girls asked guests to bring a package of Pampers to enter a door prize drawing at the shower, so on top of the gifts we have hundreds of diapers ranging from newborn-size 3. Thank you so much to the amazing hosts for making me feel so special....Thank you Thank you Thank you Everyone!!!
We are so happy to be 30 weeks...a robust and healthy 30 weeks at that! Okay...and maybe a little less patience these days and A LOT more clumsy considering I can't see my feet at all anymore. Sleeping soundly is really becoming a chore and my stomach and bladder are squished in there like sardines. I know this, because I get full after a quarter of a meal and I use the restroom every hour during the night. I have mastered sleep walking...I could tell you exactly how many steps it is from my roll off the bed to the bathroom and back. I'll be totally prepared for those 3am feedings back and forth to the baby's room!
She is kicking a bit less as she gets bigger and doesn't have quite as much room to move around in her amniotic sac with only about a pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounding her. She is about 15.7 inches long and she weighs about 3 lbs now. Her eyesight continues to develop and when she is born her vision will be 20/400 meaning she can only see objects inches from her. Her Daddy will have to hold her close so she can recognize him right away after she's born. We can't wait to see her little face and those chubby little cheeks.
Until then....I will have to find a spot for all of her things and I think it is pretty safe to say that our little girl is already spoiled! Uh oh...we are going to have our hands full with this princess :)
