Shower Time

Its been a while since my initial post, but things are progressing right on schedule...there has been some serious GROWING going on! Right now I'm about 35 weeks and counting - can you believe it?!? It seems like I've been pregnant forever, but she'll be here in no time! This summer has been a busy one for my family - my little brother got married in June. Since then, its been a non-stop baby frenzy. There have been quite a few showers (I have a fabulous group of friends that have gone out of their way to make me feel special). This picture is from my work baby shower. Corey and I work for the same company, so the entire office got together and threw us a baby shower! This was actually a couple of weeks ago (I think I was 30 or 31 weeks pregnant). This is my mother-in-law, me, and my mom. Compare that pic with this one from my shower last weekend! Talk about growing, huh?!? So far the pregnancy has been great. Don't get me wrong - I'm a bit uncomfortable at times, but its all worth it! I was recently able to start my "extended" maternity leave a little early. This is my second week of being unemployed and I'm lovin' it! I've been able to do laundry, finish getting the nursery ready, run all of my errands, and (the best part) take naps when I need them! Corey and I have also been attending our Preparing for Parenthood classes. Let me just say, there is such a thing as too much information when it comes to childbirth!!! So far we've watched THE video (yep, the one of a live birth), we've learned about drugs (yes, please!), and we've learned about breathing techniques and pain management. We learn about the C-Section - which I like to refer to as the modern medical miracle of the birthing process - next week. At this point, it won't take much to solidify my want for a c-section!! Thats about it for now! Once I finish getting the rest of the nursery and bathroom together, I'll post those pics. Until then, keep praying for a continued healthy pregnancy! Little Aubrey will be here before you know it!
