Baby Shower

Where has the time gone!? I can't believe that I'll be 38 weeks this Thursday! I feel so lucky that this pregnancy has been so easy (Sorry Lacey and Brandi); it really has gone by fast. I am beginning to just now get to that uncomfortable phase of pregnancy where my pelvis/hips are starting to hurt, my hands and feet are swelling, and I find myself getting tired after being on my feet for any length of time- not to mention the 3+ times I am getting up to visit the loo every night! But, it is all worth it. Ryan and I are so looking forward to meeting the little man that has been hibernating in my tummy for these last 9 months. We lay in bed at night talking about what we think he will look like and what we are looking forward to once he is here. For Ryan it's the later stuff- teaching him to throw a ball, ride a bike, kick a soccer ball etc... For me, it's the newborn stuff- I can't wait to hold him and smell him (it's a Mommy thing) and give him baths and read to him. Some days I feel ready for him, but other days I am glad that I still have a few more weeks (hopefully).
Thanks to my awesome baby shower last weekend I definitely feel more prepared than I did a few weeks ago. Ryan and I were so overwhelmed by everyone's generosity. We received so many diapers, wipes, and wonderful  gifts. We can't say thank you enough to our wonderful family and friends who came out to celebrate Weston's upcoming arrival, we love you all! Especially my mom and sisters who were amazing hostesses. It really was the baby shower of my dreams : )
