Another Baby Shower...

I had another baby shower this past Sunday. It was hosted by my friend Tricia and my mom's sisters. The shower was great. I had alot of fun. I (or should I say Kylie) got sooooo much stuff! We got a carseat, monitor, glider cushions (recovered by Grandma), diaper wreath (made by Tricia), toy storage trunk, and much more. Kylie got more clothes too! All are very cute. I'm going to have a hard time picking out what to put her in. I think she may have more outfits than me! Now I have to reorganize her dresser.
I have now washed all of her clothes that we got. I still have to wash all of her blankets, but everything else that needs to be washed is ready. The bedding is on the crib (even though we are going to have to take it off to retouch the paint), the glider is in the room with the new cushions, and everything is pretty much done. There are a few more decorations to put up, and Joe still has to install the ceiling fan, but other than that we are ready.
Only 14 days to go! I am ready for her to be here! I'm getting a little more nervous about the surgery part, but I know everything is going to be ok. As long as she is healthy that is all that matters. I have an appointment on Friday. Pretty sure it is going to be another quick one. Doctor didn't do an ultrasound at the last appointment like I thought she would. She said they are going to do the ultrasound the Monday before July 1st, just to make sure nothing has changed.

Baby Shower

My aunts and cousin hosted a baby shower for me yesterday. We played two games and ate some yummy food. We had punch, fruit, nuts, and delicious cupcakes with homemade vanilla buttercream frosting that my aunt made. YUMMY!!! We got a lot of stuff (or I guess I should say, Kylie got a lot of stuff). We got the bedding set, diaper genie, nursery organizer cart, a scrapbook, toys, and tons of clothes and bibs. I have a lot of washing to do before Kylie arrives. She has so many clothes I am going to have to change her at least three times a day so that she can wear everything before she outgrows them. Every outfit is really cute! The scrapbook we got was really special. My cousin's mom made it for us. She has every page decorated, and all I have to do is fill it in. I can't wait to fill it up! I had a lot of fun at the shower and really appreciate everyone for everything that was done. After I got home I unpacked all of the gift bags and kind of put everything away. The clothes are in the crib waiting to be washed, and everything else is put up where it is going to go (for now). I have a lot of organizing to do. I'm going to wait for my other shower before I really start organizing.
My friend and my aunts on my mom's side are hosting a shower for me this coming Sunday. I can't wait!

DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT
We had another doctor's appointment last Tuesday. Doctor said everything is looking good. Next appointment is scheduled for Friday, June 12th. She is going to do another ultrasound just to make sure I have to have a C-Section. I am not getting my hopes up. If July 1st is still the date, we only have 23 days until Miss Kylie's arrival. I am getting really excited!!!!

30 Days and Counting

So even though the tickers on my blog show 42 days to go, there are really only 30. I can't believe that in a month, Kylie will be here! I am getting excited and nervous. There is still alot to do before she comes. I still have to finish decorating/organizing the nursery, wash her clothes and blankets, and get myself prepared (mentally and physically) for her arrival. I guess we better get moving soon because she will be here before we know it. We especially need to get done soon because I have noticed that even the smallest tasks wear me out. I was worn out after just going to Wal-Mart for 30 minutes. Exhaustion is setting in for sure!

I was in a wedding this past weekend. I was a very pregnant bridesmaid. The couple that got married works with us at the PD. It was an outside wedding and my dress was black. The night of the rehearsal was hot. When I got home I felt like I had an inch of sweat and dirt on me. GROSS! Luckily, the day of the wedding wasn't too hot, but there were bugs everywhere. During the ceremony there were flies and gnats flying around everyone. We had a good time, but had to leave early because I had to be at work for the early shift the next day. After getting home I figured I would sleep like a rock, but I was wrong. I slept maybe two hours and then I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. It wouldn't have been bad if I didn't have to get up at 5:15 the next morning. Joe didn't get much sleep either. Finally I decided that I would try and sleep in my chair in the living room. Joe said he would sleep on the couch. Not even five minutes after getting into my chair, I was asleep. I think my body is used to the chair now because that is where I have been sleeping the past few weeks while Joe works. The couch is no longer comfortable to me. I can't wait to be able to sleep in my own bed without having to change positions every few hours because I get uncomfortable. I know I will lose some sleep when the baby comes, but being able to sleep on my stomach and back will be nice. I love my sleep! Hopefully Kylie will love her sleep time too :)

I have two showers coming up. My aunts on my dad's side are hosting a shower for me on June 7th, and then the next Sunday my friend Tricia and my aunts on my mom's side are hosting another shower for me. I am excited for my showers to finally be here. It is going to be a busy two weekends. After the last shower, there will only be two and a half weeks until Kylie arrives!

We have another appointment tomorrow. I think it is going to be another short one, but I guess we will see. I am going to ask the doctor if she is for sure on the C-Section date. I think she was making the call to the hospital after the last appointment, but I want to make sure she isn't changing the date on me.

Weekend Fun

We had a great weekend. Friday night we went over to our friend's house for some hamburgers. We didn't get to stay very long because Joe had to come home and get ready for work, but we still had fun hanging out for a while. Saturday I got up early and mom and I went shopping. We went to Hobby Lobby and Target. My mom had a gift card to Hobby Lobby and she spent it all (and then some) on stuff for Kylie's room! It was supposed to be for her to buy something for herself, but since she is the greatest mom (yaya) she used it for stuff for Kylie. We got alot of cute stuff. We got some butterflies to hang in the room, some green and pink woven baskets for the changing table, and a cute hook to hang up (don't know where yet). We spent quite a bit of time at Hobby Lobby. After Hobby Lobby we went to Target and mom bought me some new pajama pants to wear in the hospital (since none of my pjs fit anymore). I am happy that I finally have Saturdays off so I can do stuff like shop and whatever else I want to. I always have fun shopping with my mom! Pretty soon Kylie will be joining us on Saturday shopping trips:)
Sunday I woke up really early and went to work (like every Sunday). After work I headed home, and Joe and I drove out to my uncle's house for a Memorial Day/Family get together. We got there about 4, but Joe had to work that night so we figured we wouldn't get to stay that long. There were a lot of people there (as always when the family gets together:) ) About 7 Joe said he thought about taking a 'personal' day from work so we could stay longer. He called his supervisor who told him it would not be a problem, so we got to stay as long as we wanted. I was happy that we didn't have to go home early. It seems like every time there is a family "party" we have to leave early because one of us has to go to work. We hung out and ate alot of yummy food. We had hamburgers, hot dogs, potato salad, chips, beans, and many kinds of desserts. We had brownies, fresh fruit, cupcakes, and sopapilla cheesecake. It is DELICIOUS! I think the favorite was a tie between the fresh watermelon and the cheesecake. We ate alot of food! Joe went swimming with some of the family, and I sat with everyone else and watched. We had a blast! It is always a fun time when the family gets together, no matter what we are doing! We didn't leave until a little after 10. After we got home, we were going to stay up and watch some tv, but that didn't last long. We were in bed by 11p (which is early for us).
This was the last holiday with just the two of us. By the time the next holiday, 4th of July, is here, Kylie will be here with us! We can't wait...Not much longer!

Coming Sooner than we thought...

Looks like Kylie will be here sooner than expected. I had an ultrasound today and was told I have to have a C-Section. Doctor scheduled it for July 1st. She said not to hold her to that date, but she was on the phone setting it up with the hospital when we left the doctor's office.
So even though my ticker shows 56 days to go, we really have 44 days! I'm excited that she will be here sooner, but kind of upset that I have to have a C-Section. I think Joe is glad that we have a date set, so that he won't have to get a phone call at work and rush to the hospital. This way we can go in together and not have to rush around before heading to the hospital. Doctor said everything else is looking good. The baby weighs about 4 1/4 pounds right now. Next appointment is scheduled for June 2nd.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to the World's Greatest Mom!

Mom,

You have always been there whenever I needed you. You are the best example of what a mother is and should be. You are kind, thoughtful, loving, caring, and so many other things. You have taught me many things, and I hope I can be as great a mom as you are.

LOVE YOU MOM!!!!

Love,

Lindsey

p.s: Kylie says "Happy (grand)Mother's Day YaYa!"

4D Ultrasound..here she is

We had a 4D ultrasound on Thursday. It was cool to see what she looks like. Everyone is giving their opinion on who she resembles. The majority of people say she looks like me. In case you are wondering...the thing on the left side of the screen is her leg. She had her legs over her head the entire time. Future Gymnast I think. She also had a frown on her face the whole time.
