Last of the Baby Showers

This weekend was a nice 3 day weekend with my husband. Since Ryan worked this past Saturday, he had this Friday off. Now that I have my weekly ob/gyn appointments on Friday, he went with me. I got up early and went walking before my appointment. It was actually a pleasant, not so hot morning, to take a walk. Then we went to my 920am appointment where the doc told me that I have gained 21lbs and now 1.5cm dilated. A whopping 0.5cm more! Not any other news besides that. Then Ryan and I were off to Lowes to do some returns, Target to pic up a few things, ate at Which Which for lunch and then HEB for some groceries. We came home and cleaned up around the house and I was exhausted after that. I took a long nap and woke up to get ready for shower #3, my work shower (see pics). It was at 7pm so when people got off work they could come too. It was very nice and once again, got lots of prezzies! Shout out to all my work peeps---THANKS! I came home around 930pm and crashed, even after my long nap.

Saturday got up and made Ryan and I a big egg breakfast. I wanted him to feel great for when he later had to go and donate blood at our church blood drive. I drove him there and back and of course he did fine. We did stuff around the house and I started cooking for our guests that were coming over that evening. We had Sarah, Aaron and Chris over for dinner as one of our last quiet dinners before this baby comes. I made a replica of La Griglia's Paglia e Fieno which is Fettuccine, Grilled Chicken, Mushrooms, Peas, Pancetta & Parmigiano Reggiano with a salad and cheesecake tortes for dessert. We had fun visiting and enjoying their company.

Sunday, we went to church and our Sunday school class had a prayer brunch for us. It was very nice and people gave us lots of prezzies there too. Right now, it is neatly packed away in the baby's room, but I know in a matter of weeks all that stuff will be strewn over our house. Being the neat freak that I am, that makes me freak out, but I know I will get over it when it comes to sleep vs. cleaning house. This evening Ryan installed the carseat for my carseat check at the fire station this Wednesday and I packed my hospital bag. I think we are ready for this kid. I don't know what else I can do to prepare except get lots of sleep. 11 days and counting...
