Fat and happy :)

This past weekend was my baby shower. I wish I had more pictures but this one of Amanda and I is the only one I got. Hopefully Tracy will send me hers? ;) **side note- this picture she is, I think, 37 weeks pregnant and I am 33 weeks. We've had a fun time being pregnant together!** Thank you Tracy, Deb, Jill and Katti for giving me such an awesome baby shower and for all the wonderful friends and family that came and gave Charlotte the cutest gifts ever. She and I both really appreciate all the generosity of everyone. This is my cute friend, Meghan. She is getting married at the end of May and asked me to do her hair for her bridal pictures. I love her birdcage veil. And her dress goes so perfect with it. Anyway, here's how her hair turned out for the pics. Hopefully I can re-create it for the actual wedding day!

This is Charlotte's betrothed husband, Brody. We had the Riddles over a couple weeks ago and caught this way cute picture of him when George was playing with him. Ariane, let me know if you want me to email you the rest of the pictures.

For me: 33 week belly shot. Yum.

Ok, the rest of these pictures are of Charlotte's room.... again. BECAUSE, my sweet friend, Kelly, asked me when I was first pregnant, if she could sew me a crib set. Of course I accepted and after Thanksgiving, or something (don't remember when, but it was sale season) I went to Joann's and got this super cute pink and brown fabric for a ridiculously cheap price. Today she dropped off the bumper and the dust ruffle. As she was leaving she said, "Oh and I'm almost done with the quilt, baby organizer and diaper caddy. I'll call you when it's all done." WHAT?! I know for a fact that I only got enough fabric for the dust ruffle and the bumper. She is such a sweetheart. She said she loves to sew and loves LOVES baby stuff so she just kinda went crazy. I love her. And this set is so way cute.

That's all for now. 4-7 more weeks! Yahoo!!!! Let's hope it's more on the 4-5 week end :)

Cute baby!

Thank you so much Daelyn and Kent and Mom and Dad Hunt!!!! They gave us this package at Sneak Peek Ultrasound today and we had so much fun!! Here's our chunky Charlotte. I love her cute chubby cheeks! And now she's waving! I can't wait to see her and hold her in my arms. This is going to be so fun!!

Scared

I don't want to jinx it, so I knocked on wood and crossed my fingers and did all the other "wish me luck" stuff. I am feeling so great!!! FINALLY! I am almost 32 weeks (8 months) pregnant and feel great. I have lots of energy. My doctor has me on some meds for my high BP and its totally under control (YAY) and she's got me on a sorta, kinda diet that makes me feel so good. Eating better really does make you feel better. It's kind of a lot of work to get started, especially when all I was really eating was cold cereal, but worth it and easy once you get in the groove. I'm hoping this will make it easier for me to eat well and lose the baby weight after she comes!
Now, I'm feeling really good. And I know that in 6-8 weeks I could potentially be holding my baby IN MY ARMS and not in my belly. So now I'm starting to freak out about labor and delivery. Let me list my top fears, in no specific order...
1. That my water is going to break in public, or worse, as I am cutting someone's hair at work.
2. I have a low tolerance for pain, I know it. Therefore, scared that the contractions are going to be killing me and I'll be sure the baby is less than 2 minutes away, and I'll get to the hospital and they'll say, sorry honey, you're only at a 2 go home and walk around and come back in the morning. BAH!!
3. That the labor will go too fast and I won't have time for an epidural (I admit it, I love drugs)
4. That the baby will be too big and I'll end up in a c-section.
5. And last...... breastfeeding. I think its weird. I will do it, of course. I mean a) it's free, b) healthier for baby, c) bonding, yadda yadda yadda, oh and FREE. But I've seen some horror stories, yes SEEN. It pretty much scarred me for life.
Well, I hope this isn't too honest for some of you. If any of you have tips or advice, this is free reign to give it to me. You too mom.

*deep sigh*

Today I went to a prenatal yoga class. It was wonderful. I love it because it forces you to relax. Exactly what I need. Anyway, it was great and I will be going back next Saturday and every other Saturday until this baby comes. Maybe it'll help with this annoying high blood pressure and I won't have to be on meds anymore? That would be nice.
