A couple of weeks ago, your Aunt Carla and Nana threw us a baby shower in Bakersfield! It was so much fun and we got so many things (mostly you!).
Here we are! Aunt Candi , us, and cousin Staci
With Staci again!
Yum!
Here's a shot of some family! Staci, Candi, Aunt Joyce, and your great grandmother Grannie (Karen)!
Generation of women! Your Nana, us, and Great Grannie!
Us and your Aunt Carla!
Mommy being silly
You were able to get new clothes, lots of diapers and wipes, books, baby essentials, a Diaper Genie, blankets, and toys! We are pretty set (and you are super spoiled)!
You are also growing like crazy and I can feel everything! It's amazing how much you move and how well I can see you moving on the outside. I love feeling you "practice breathe" and feel a little sad for you when you have hiccups. You've dropped, so you're not in my ribs as much anymore. However, you are hitting and punching lower organs in my body and it isn't the most pleasant (especially at 2am!), but you are worth everything. Getting comfortable is no longer possible as you're taking up so much space, but luckily I haven't dealt with too many problems.
As for Braxton Hicks, I had to ask your Nana what they felt like. Every woman is different, but what she described fit the small pains/cramps I was getting every now and then. They still aren't very often, but now I'm able to recognize them. I have to stop for a second while I feel crampy, hot and little sweaty, and uncomfortable. I worried your dad when I had to stop in the store the other day to take a breath. I told him it was just a false contraction and nothing to worry about!
I'm also excited because Friday was my last day of work as my maternity leave starts Monday- meaning I get time to prepare for you! Yay for rest and nesting! Which I have been doing like crazy (the nesting anyway). I still have to clean and wash all of your clothes and linens, disinfect your toys, and get a few more needed items before you arrive. Your dad and I have been watching videos on so many things, but I know we'll also just learn as we go since everyone is different.
Anyway, we both love you so much!!

I can't believe you have less than a month to go til D-day! So crazy! You look fabulous! It's crazy, but as much as I love having my baby to cuddle this makes me miss the days when I could feel him moving and kicking in my belly a little. ;) I hope you continue to enjoy that! So excited for you to be done with work already, and that I get to see you and your bump this weekend. :)
