Baby Shower #1

Sunday was my first baby shower.  My mom and Memaw through it as a joint shower for me and Ashley. I had a blast and got TONS of cute stuff.

the yummy finger food

Memaw made me this adorable chest to go under Maggie's window. I don't have a picture of it in her room yet but I will get one up soon!

The wonderful hostesses and the preggos...and of course AR.

Memaw made Maggie some letters to go above her crib and a bow hanger to put on the wall.

My mom got me this diaper bag. I love it! I've had a hard time finding one. I'm happy to say I can check #17 off my list.

Mom also got me these baskets to go under the changing table and she made these two burp cloths. Mom and Memaw are definitely the most creative women I know!

There's lots more but I can't put up pictures of it all! I've had fun sorting through the new baby girl clothes. Thanks everyone for all the cute stuff!

36 Weeks

Whattoexpect.com says that Maggie should now weigh about 6 pounds. Her growth will start slowing down so she can store up energy needed for delivery.  All her systems are almost fully matured so she's about ready to be born!  The whole time I've been pregnant I've thought that I wanted her to come right when I was full term (37 weeks), but I still have so much to do before she gets here so I'm hoping she'll hang out atleast until 39 weeks! She has definitely settled down which is a nice break from her constant kicking that I've been use to, and her head and feet have been in the same position all week. Nights have been long and restless but I'm thankful that has just now started since I don't have too much longer to go! In just a few weeks all the discomfort will be over and it will have been worth it!

Productive!

I am slowly but surely getting things done on my list.

#2. get the glider out of my car and into Maggie's room

Well it has been out of my car for a while, but it sat in the middle of the living room floor for way too long. It finally made it's way up to Maggie's room the other night!

#4. get Ashley's baby shower gift

It is now wrapped and in my car ready to take to the shower!

#35. clean out my car and wash it

Eric surprised me by washing my car the other day, so today I cleaned it out and vaccuumed. It REALLY needed it and I don't want Maggie riding around in a dirty car!

#3 Done!

#3 on my list was to sign up for an online class for this summer. I finally signed up yesterday and I will be taking English 102! I figured I would have plenty of time since I will be at home with Maggie the whole summer.

35 Weeks

Whattoexpect.com says that at 35 weeks Maggie is about 20 inches long and won't get much longer, but she is gaining weight every single day. Also her rapidly growing brain is making her head heavier, which means more pressure on my bladder! That explains my non-stop bathroom trips! My days and weeks are going by faster and faster so I need to get a move on with my list!

Speaking of my list: #1 is complete! Eric and I put together the changing table last night. Hopefully this was our last really big purchase.

I feel like I am the only one who hasn't made a list yet, and since I have TONS to do before Maggie gets here I decided to steal Ashley's idea and make a list of the 36 things I need to do in 36 days, which is how long I have until my due date.
