Work Baby Shower and 36 week appointment

I know that it's been quite a few weeks since I've posted, but James and I have been so busy trying to get everything ready for the baby's arrival.

The girls at work threw us a Baby Shower. We had a very nice lunch with some VERY yummy cake!!!!!

Most of the group went together and bought James and I our Baby Stroller and Car Seat- which we were excited to get!! James was so excited that he put everything together that night and put it in the car. It's amazing to think that we're going to have a baby so small that she will fit inside- can't believe it's only weeks away!!

We also received a crocheted blanket, sweater and hat from one of our friends from work. Another friend bought us a basket for the dishwasher and other baby stuff. We had a wonderful second shower and are very blessed by everyone's generosity!

I had my 36 week doctor's appointment on Wednesday. The doctor reported that I had only gained one pound- which puts me at approximately 16 pounds in total (feels like soooo much more). The baby's head is still down and she was laying on her stomach- so we could hear the heart beat very faintly. He also checked me for dialation... no signs of labor yet.

I'm continuing to work... and still feel pretty good. The hardest part of my day has been between 6:30 and 7:30AM- getting up, getting ready and driving into work. Once I get to work- I seem to be fine. I usually get home an hour before James- so Sieben and I have been taking naps until he gets home and then the three of us enjoy the evening together.

We will continue to keep you posted- maybe you'll see a post soon from James including the baby pictures...

Much love to all
