...that I am 35 weeks along!

I am amazed at how quickly the last 35 weeks have gone. It feels like I found out I was pregnant a month ago, but I am almost done already.

Dave and I are very excited that the baby will be here within the next 5-6 weeks (hopefully less)!!

The last few weeks have been the toughest of them all. I am starting to get a lot of pressure and pain as the baby starts decending. I know this will continue to get worse, but I know I will be able to handle it.

We have been attending a Preparing for Birth class at St. Joe's hospital and are learning a lot of useful information. We have 3 weeks left and I hope we continue to learn lots - as we really need to. :)

Dave finally got his desk out of the baby's room and now I just have to clean and start setting the room up. I haven't made a final decision about painting yet. It is still up in the air. I will keep you posted. :)

Only a few weeks left until we meet Baby Regal! Yippy!!

...I had my first baby shower!

I had a great time on Sunday at my first ever baby shower. The shower was thrown by my friend KC and was attended by Angie, Daryl and Meghann. All I can say is what GREAT friends I have!!! They gave me wonderful gifts and we have an awesome time chatting! Here are some photos from the afternoon.

KC and I are both pregnant, which is so much fun! She is pregnant with her 3rd child and is 30 weeks along. I am 33 weeks and 6 days along.
Meghann gave me this great frame! I love it!

KC gave me some really awesome gifts and threw me a wonderful shower.

Daryl knows exactly what I need....diapers and wipes!! Angie gave me this super cute bouncer!

...how many people have died in the last few days.

First it was Ed McMahon, then Farrah Fawcett and Micheal Jackson in the same day. And now it is Billy Mays today. Crazyness! Such is life though. I hope they all rest in peace!

...Dave is going to be a daddy!

Today is Father's Day! Dave is going to be a dad in about 2 1/2 months. It is almost unbelievable! If this little one wasn't kicking me right now, I don't know that I would even be able to fathom it.

I hope Dave will have a good day. (Even though he got his present on Mother's Day - I just couldn't keep it from him. I HAVE to wait to buy gifts!)

Next year will be even better, because the baby will be here to celebrate with his/her dad. :)

Happy Father's Day, Dave!

...I am still awake

It is 3:11 am and I am still awake. I am feeling tired though, so I think I will be able to sleep soon. I only took a 2 hour nap this morning after getting up at 5 am - so I am not sure why I am not more tired.

At least I was able to work on my homework again. That is a good thing. :)

Well, I am going to go try to fall asleep. Hope you are all sleeping well.

...my busy week ahead

Well, this is going to be a very very busy week for me. Here is a rundown:

Monday is my dad's birthday (not sure if we are doing anything though) and I have my 30 week doctor's appointment.
Tuesday we have an ultrasound. We might be going out to a new bowling place in Oakdale for their grand opening.
Wednesday I am having dinner with Suzie.
Thursday I am having happy hour with KC, Angie, and Daryl.
Friday we are going to the Twins game for the Kent Hrbek bobblehead with Eric.
Saturday we are attending a get together with a bunch of people Dave used to go to church with - it should be interesting.
Sunday is Father's Day.

It is a good thing that most of this stuff is in the evening, so I have much of the day to rest. :)

...I have a car seat base in my car

Today Dave and I went to class on how to install a car seat properly. We are both really glad we did it, because we learned a lot of valuable information that we would not otherwise have learned.

It is really crazy that there is a car seat base installed in my car now. It seems like we are really far away from having this baby, but we are only about 11 weeks out now. That is nuts!
