Last Saturday night...my adoring husband threw me a baby shower.
Odd I know but most of my close friends and family live out of town, hence the reason it was Saturday night and why my husband initiated the process. My amazing sister took care of the decorations(when I get some pics I will post)...my sister is awesome when it comes to event planning she has a special talent for it.
My nursery theme, though at the moment there is no nursery is nature/jungle theme...so the shower was themed king of the jungle.
It was a ton of fun. A friend from work made all the delicious food, white pizza, spinach balls, fruit skewers, cupcake trio and more. And one of my girlfriends from NY drove all the way down to come just for the few hours of the shower...I was touched to say the least. And while the 40 people we catered for did not show only about 20 did...I must say it was a blast. We played games and I got to see people I hadn't seen in a while. And I got a ton of gift cards which is nice because the baby has a ton of clothes so the gift cards allow me to buy what I really need...plus I got a cloth diaper cake...So now I have more than enough cloth diapers...
By the end of the night we were all pooped and the next day I got up and took my maternity pictures( the jury is still out on those but hopefully by next week I will have them and may share a few).

Housing Woes
Not sure if I mentioned it before but hubby and I are house shopping.
We were trying to settle in on something before Jelly Bean arrived so we would be all moved in and ready to go and at least have a nursery ready by the time my little piece of cargo arrived. So far no luck...
We had a house that we made an offer on and got accepted but when it came time to close turns out the bank didn't have right to the title...so we were told our offer was not valid and the bank had to go straighten out the paper work and then we could offer on the property once it was listed again...utter foolishnessa and fustration.
Now I know that God has something great planned for us and I just need to be patient but at the sametime...I would really like to be in a place when the bean arrives. Would really like to not be in limbo. The worst part is we have already given up our lease on our current location...so we are in with the mother -in-law until a place opens up...SIGH...
My mother in law is nice enough but her and I can't seem to get a long...We don't fight or say mean things to one another we kind of just tolerate each others existence...We have never had harsh words...maybe our personalities clash because we are similar I don't know but I know I would rather be in a house or my one bedroom apartment than staying at her home for an indefinite amount of time. The thing is she lives in the burbs and works in the city so she is never at her home unless it's the weekend during the week she is in the city but still spending weekends in her home with her there and the tenison of it all is not good for me. Poor hubby he doesn't get it...which is equally as fustrating...I was just raised different I guess..
I don't know...so if you guys pray...say a prayer for hubby and I to find a home that is best for our family and in a good neighborhood...

35 weeks
How far along?: 35 weeks
•Weight: I haven't a clue...at this point I know I will need to be very careful nutrition wise after the bean so I will just focus on being as good as possible now and not worry about the weight.
•How big is baby?: Jelly bean, is getting big based on how my belly and the amount of movement I feel - he's probably between 5
•Maternity clothes?: Still in maternity bottoms, especially pants, I wear a lot of regular sized tops and dresses in one size up or tube top dresses and throw a little sweater over them...so far not bad.
•Stretch marks?: definitely...I blame my genes and my cravings but too late to do anything about them now...so I will not worry about it.
•Sleep?: Yep, I am getting it...I still wake up in the mid-morning to pee but otherwise I am able to find a comfortable position due to U-shaped pregnancy pillow...I love that thing.
•Food cravings?: soft serve, all natural fruit pops, smoothies and as of recently ice.
•Labor signs?: None!
•Belly button in or out?: Still in...
•What I miss: today...I don't really miss anything...except that I wish I was bit more helpful for hubby around the home
.
•What I'm looking forward to: Having a home.
•What I am not looking forward to: Still labor...the whole thought makes me a little
worried and nausea. Not to mention I am getting the hang of being pregnant...I am not at the point where I want him to come out yet...I know I will miss the little kicks but then I will have him in my arms and that in of itself will be priceless.
•Milestone: 35 weeks and still not at the point where I want to deliver or go mad...most say that's a milestone in of itself...Also, if my baby is born any time now he will be good to go and able to survive barring no other health related risks.

Grateful Friday
I think I am going to start doing Grateful Fridays...
Friday is by far one of my favorite days of the week. It's the start of the weekend, I get to leave work by 1pm...what more can a girl ask for?!
This Friday I am grateful for the rain and a loving husband.
Rain- first off I love rain, I was born in a place that only had summer and rainy season so rain and the sound and smell are very relaxing for me... This over the last 3 weeks my area has had 3 major rainfalls, all taking out power and trees...it has been horrible for those of us who commute. At the sametime one cannot deny the calming effect of the sound of rain as it hits the roof of a house, umbrella etc...
Also, the earth needs to the rain and it helps cool us all down...RAIN...AHHH!
As for the hubby, I am grateful for him because he lets me be who I am...yest he may not like all of me and thinks I can improve...he accepts me for who I am and loves being my other half...and I love him back for those very reasons...he not perfect but he fits me just right...so I am grateful to God that I have a hubby and one that compliments me...
Grateful Friday...what are you grateful for.

Shy Guy
Yesterday was the 3rd and final ultrasound.
This time Hubby came along so we could get one more look at our precious cargo before he enters the world.
First we saw the tech, who’s name was Sandy (good sign), She was telling us the different things she was observing…that is until the Hubby upset her by asking her if a Doctor reviewed the pics and measurements she takes. To which she replied no one reviews my work and from that point she was silent and we were not able to get any good feedback about our Jelly Bean until the doctor came in. LOL…my hubby…so special.
So there are no wonderful pictures from the ultrasound except for some obscure picture of Jelly Bean's penis which really is unclear and worthless. After only talking to each other and getting nothing from the tech for 15 minutes the doctor came in. The doctor informed us that the baby is fine and that we would not be needing another ultrasound. ( bittersweet)
He took a look around, the baby is head down, which is a good thing because he is seriously running out of room. And then the wonderful doctor went to give us a 3D picture of the baby’s face…
And because well this is our baby, which means it’s probably stubborn and clearly has an opinion this early on in life, he decided not to cooperate because who takes pictures at 8:30 in the am. So we have no 3D picture of the face because his hand was over his face and there was a piece of the cord on top of his hand. Who knew personalities were formed so early in life!
And just because he’s his father’s son, once the ultrasound was over he was all kicks and punches… Hubby says he ( the baby) does not like the ultrasound and I really think that must be true.
As for Jelly Bean's stats –he is currently weighing in at 4lbs and 7oz, which is in the 50th percentile and he is head down but he has not dropped into place ( engaged.
7 and 1/2 more weeks... till I see my like bean...sigh...bittersweet

32 weeks - 2days
How far along?: 32 weeks 2 day
•Weight: I have no idea again...last week when I got on the scale it showed a 2lb gain in 2 wks but I also weighed myself at the end of the day so I am not sure how truthful that is...anyway, I would like to think the weight gain has slowed which is fine by me.
•How big is baby?: Jelly bean, is getting big based on how my belly and the amount of movement I feel - he's probably between 3-3.5lbs
•Maternity clothes?: Still in maternity bottoms, especially pants, I brought a few more maternity tops but for the most part I have the bottoms I purchased earlier in the pregnancy. Also, got a pair of black maternity trouser pants last week, in long that I love...otherwise. 1 size up in dresses and 2 sizes in tops...
•Stretch marks?: definitely...I blame my genes and my cravings but too late to do anything about them now...so I will not worry about it.
•Sleep?: Yep, I am getting it...I still wake up in the mid-morning to pee but otherwise I am able to find a comfortable position due to U-shaped pregnancy pillow...I love that thing. I will admit I am tired of sleeping on my left side already.
•Food cravings?: non-fat soft serve or custard...it's probably the heat but any creamy cold goodness...And watermelon...I just can't get enough of that stuff...soo good.
•Labor signs?: None!
•Belly button in or out?: Still in...
•What I miss: Today, oddly enough I miss a good hard work out. I have been taking it fairly ease this trimester but today I would love to just go for a short run
.
•What I'm looking forward to: My last ultrasound -tomorrow. I will get to see my little guy one last time before he leaves the protection of my womb and enters the real word. Can't wait.
•What I am not looking forward to: Still labor...the whole thought makes me a little
worried and nausea.
•Milestone: 32 weeks and still not at the point where I want to deliver or go mad...most say that's a milestone in of itself...that and not telling off people who are like you are ready to pop any day now until I tell them nope 8 more weeks.

Nursing cover promo code - Use by August 7
Apparently it's world breastfeeding week August 1-7. I am not sure why the world needs a breastfeeding week, nor am I inclined to go research the origins of such a week. It just is what it is.
In light of a week geared towards breastfeeding, I got a deal in my email that I am passing on to all you moms and moms to be ( like myself). If you intend to breastfeed there maybe a point no doubt where you have to breast feed in public and when you do, it would be nice to have a nice cover so you can breast feed with a little privacy. At least I do...so in light of this fact use the promo code below to get free nursing cover from uddercovers.com and all you have to do is pay the shipping and handling.
I order one of the gift sets when I first got pregnant because I thought it was an excellent idea...I will have to write a review once I start to use it. In the meantime go to the website and order away.
Here are the instructions:
The code is"Breastfeeding".
Go to www.uddercovers.com, click on "Shop Now" and select the
cover you would like. Type Breastfeeding into the promo code box
and it will bring your product total to $0. All you pay is the shipping

Labor and Delivery: No pain, No gain...RIGHT?
As part of my activities last weekend. I got to talk to some of hubbies cousins and friends...
Many of which are moms, so we had the how are you feeling talk, when is the baby due...oh you are almost done discussions.
Well, in the process of one of these discussions...I heard a few epidural horror stories.
So if you are preggers and concerned about delivery...you should probably stop reading now...
No seriously they are not good stories...stop.
You have been warned!
As we were standing around talking, they asked me if I was going to get an epidural. I am still on the fence. My sister had both of her boys natural. Although, I have no idea what her first delivery was like her second one was pure torture in my opinion it brought me to tears, she was in labor for about 10 hours, she wanted to go natural but ended up in so much pain by the time she was in active labor she agreed to have the epidural it was too late...it was time to push and so she never got it and she tore... I was in the room the whole time because I was her labor partner, since my mom was out of town and the dad was away as well.
My hubbies cousin, told me good luck in going without one...she said as soon as she walked into the hospital she told them she wanted one and had no problems.
My hubbies friend's wife on the other hand had a different story. Out of her 3 deliveries she has only had one good epidural. The first time she got it, the anesthesiologist put the epidural in between the wrong vertebrae so that her legs went completely numb but she could feel the contractions and the birth. Then with her last child the epidural only took effect on half of her body...so she still had some pain and could feel everything on half her body.
In the end the other women were like ok...stop talking she has never had a kid she doesn't need to hear this but I am fascinated by the stories...it's like when something is happening and you know you should look away but you just can't...I figure with all the stories I am more or less prepared for anything...or hoping I am...

Weekend happenings
Last weekend was jam packed.
Hubby and I took Friday off, originally we were supposed to go to the beach but then decided to use the day to run errands and get stuff done.
I just have to mention that hubby was a Marine, so anytime he is in charge our life is scheduled by the hour and it's all about getting things done. Sigh...I hate that. So Friday he had a list of things that need to be done and a deadline. In the am he allowed me to sleep in and then I did some pregnancy yoga...
On a side note my hour of yoga was great but it also made me realize just how out of shape I am and just how tight my quads are...sigh...I want to try to get 3 sessions in a week so that I can open up my pelvic area and to stretch out the kinks I have in my back... but I digress...
In the afternoon it was go go go...we went to finally do a baby registry at Babies 'R' Us. It was a bit much, I couldn't decide on a crib and then we had to pick a swing, a jogging stroller and all these other things for my little Jelly Bean that I honestly have not had the time to research or think about. We did ok but I am sure we missed a ton of things. So I will have to go through the check list they provided. It took all afternoon to do the registry and we only went to the one store and then a target run. Then hubby had to go help out at church and I went to get a mediocre pedicure...
Sat - as always is one of more lax yet busy days...with church and church activities that sometime last all day. I will have to tell you all about some crazy stories I heard on Saturday.
Then Sat night, I started cooking for the week, lentils and a veggie lasagna then we hung around the apartment.
Sunday, was the big day...we had a home inspection scheduled on the house we intend to buy. A very quaint split-level. I am excited about the house...it's not as new as I would like but it has some cute accents like exposed beam in the breakfast nook and a good size back yard for the kids and my garden... Also, I was able to start envisioning the room I want for my little man. Which includes a tree stencil...anyone know where I can get on...I know I saw one online a while ago or was it on HGTV or extreme home makeover...it was a tree stenciled around a window...loved it.
Also, while hubby was out trying to fix his car Sunday morning. I got some clean up and packing done...allowing my nesting urge to be active for just a few hours...of course after all that I was beat and ready for bed by 9:30...
I love having Friday's off...love spending time with hubby although he drives me crazy...and of course being able to shop, albeit window show, was fun as well.

31 weeks...so not ready
How far along?: 31 weeks 2 day
•Weight: I have no idea again...haven't gotten on a scale since last Monday, but will have to tomorrow at the Doc's office.
•How big is baby?: Jelly bean, is getting big based on how my belly and the amount of movement I feel - he's probably between 3.5lbs
•Maternity clothes?: Still in maternity bottoms, especially pants, I brought a few more maternity tops but for the most part I have the bottoms I purchased earlier in the pregnancy. It's nice that the bottoms still fit but the belly part is getting snug so I just fold it under the belly.
•Stretch marks?: definitely...I blame my genes and my cravings but too late to do anything about them now...so I will not worry about it.
•Sleep?: Yep, I am getting it...I still wake up in the mid-morning to pee but otherwise I am able to find a comfortable position due to U-shaped pregnancy pillow...I love that thing. I will admit I am tired of sleeping on my left side already.
•Food cravings?: non-fat soft serve or custard...it's probably the heat but any creamy cold goodness...I have also been craving doughnuts...which is weird because I am not a doughnut person...and I am not going to be either...so I will just have to resist.
•Labor signs?: None!
•Belly button in or out?: Still in...
•What I miss: Today I miss not being preggers...for some reason it all seems to be happening too fast...you would think after 7 months I would be ok with the idea but someday...I just want things back the way thery were...hope that's not horrible to say...I love my jelly bean though...and he's rocking and rolling today...so that's nice...I like it when he's move alot.
•What I'm looking forward to: My last ultrasound in next weeks. I will get to see my little guy one last time before he leaves the protection of my womb and enters the real word. Can't wait.
•What I am not looking forward to: Still labor...the whole thought makes me a little worried which I can't talk to the hubby about because just thinking about it makes him light headed...
•Milestone: Jelly is a jumping jelly bean and I love it...Haven't heard anything from the doc office about my diabetes test...so I am guessing no news is good news.
•Weight: I have no idea again...haven't gotten on a scale since last Monday, but will have to tomorrow at the Doc's office.
•How big is baby?: Jelly bean, is getting big based on how my belly and the amount of movement I feel - he's probably between 3.5lbs
•Maternity clothes?: Still in maternity bottoms, especially pants, I brought a few more maternity tops but for the most part I have the bottoms I purchased earlier in the pregnancy. It's nice that the bottoms still fit but the belly part is getting snug so I just fold it under the belly.
•Stretch marks?: definitely...I blame my genes and my cravings but too late to do anything about them now...so I will not worry about it.
•Sleep?: Yep, I am getting it...I still wake up in the mid-morning to pee but otherwise I am able to find a comfortable position due to U-shaped pregnancy pillow...I love that thing. I will admit I am tired of sleeping on my left side already.
