Busy as a Bee!

Wow what a busy week! Sunday my boss threw me the most AMAZING baby shower! I couldn't believe how many people were there to support the arrival of my little Emery. We ate, drank, and played a bunch of cute little games (including pin the sperm on the egg- instead of pin the tail on the donkey!) The amount of gifts I got was unbelievable. Emery will definitely be the best dressed little nugget in town. :)

I took Monday off work to "nest" and get her nursery in order, which was a completely overwhelming task for someone 31 weeks pregnant. Her room looked like a sea of never ending gift bags, so I called in the troops! Mom came over and helped me organize and decorate her entire room which of course, took us all day, but was so worth all the hard work because it looks great so far! I still have a few more things on my to-do list before her nursery is complete but we definitely moved mountains Monday!

Tuesday, Mitch and I had our first Childbirth & Parenting class at Baptist Hospital. It was a lot like I thought it would be with the typical powerpoint presentations, conversations about labor and delivery, and of course practicing several breathing techniques. I do have to admit, when the nurse was going over the different positions to relieve back pain, I almost lost it! Looking up and seeing a room full of pregnant women- on the floor- on all fours- was for some reason, the funniest thing I had seen all day! Overall, I'd have to say that the class wasn't that bad. We didn't have to watch live birth videos or anything like that, but I still have 5 more sessions that are 2 hours each, so something tells me that I won't get off scott-free. I'm sure that there is a disturbing video somewhere in my near future.

Thursday afternoon I had a doctors appointment that went very well! Since everyone and their grandma keeps telling me about how huge I look, and how there is no way that I will make it to November, of course I brought this to my doctor's attention. He reassured me that yes- I can and will get much bigger. My measurements are spot on for 31 weeks and everything is right on track! So now that I think about it, for all those people who think I look 9 months pregnant now, does this mean that I will look 11 months pregnant right before I have her? If your answer is yes, please keep it to yourself :)


I will post pictures from the baby shower and pictures of the nursery as soon as I get a chance. I hope everyone has a great weekend and WAR EAGLE! :)
