| 80's day…no really, my mom wore this shirt in the 80's. |
Yeah, I'm past 36 weeks now. So at this rate, the next post will probably involve a newborn baby! Yay! (sorry my head is cut off, I still don't have a good mirror situation)
The past few weeks have been great. Last month my BFF threw me an Up North shower (despite being a newlywed of only 5 weeks!) which was so much fun! It had a baby bird theme, and while I don't have any other pictures at the moment, I do have a picture of the cake topper before I tried to eat it…so cute!
Then I finished up my last few days of work…such a relief, the last couple months of working were so stressful and painful! My hip/back pain has decreased dramatically since quitting!
My husband's crazy, busy, month-long job finally ended at the end of August. It's been fantastic just being able to spend some time together, and finishing some baby projects that I couldn't do by myself. (who am I kidding, he does most of the work when it comes to projects... I "help")
Then just this weekend, I had another shower here in Lansing, put on and attended by the coolest ladies ever!

| Baby shower #2! (Sorry shower #1, I don't have any pictures of you) |
They still need a little bit of touching up, if I ever get around to it. Right now I have more important projects to give my attention to. Like staying sane.
This active little bird is around 20 inches long, and over 6 pounds now. My belly definitely feels the difference, too. It hasn't gotten a lot bigger, but it's a lot more cramped in there. In fact, I might have to stand up right now because she just stuck a foot up in my right lung. The best news though, is that she's head down and ready to go! The doctor told me it didn't feel like she was going to flip…not sure how he could feel that, but I'll take it.
Only 4 more weeks!!!
Total weight gain: 28 pounds. I didn't gain anything in like a 3 week stretch…then went up 3 pounds in one week! Hey there, stretch marks.
Cravings? Some of that raspberry pie left over from my shower ;)
Miss anything? Sleeping straight through the night. HAHA that won't happen again for years!
Movement: Random bouts of hiccups, day and night. When she stretches out her arms, it almost feels like a hug :)
Highs/lows: Baby showers, feelin' the love, not working, getting stuff done finally/Being wide awake in the middle of the night, random emotional outbursts.
Looking forward to: This little girl making her first appearance! Hopefully not for a few more weeks, but I'm getting anxious to see her.
