How crazy is it that I could have a baby tomorrow, and God
permitting no other health problems, he’d be totally fine and in my arms! So
completely crazy and still just blows my mind.
Hard to believe that I’m going to be a mother VERY soon!
Tasks that are on the “Mister-Must-Do” list for this week/weekend
and probably into the weeks to come:
- Get the car seat and bases installed.
- Change the light bulbs in the nursery (I don’t like the color they give off right now :) hehe)
- TV mount installed in the nursery.
- Get the yard & outside of the house ready for the BBQ shower. Help me finish décor for the showers.
“Lady-Must-Do” List:
- Get hospital bag packed.
- I’ve got a weird feeling that we’re not going to make it to the full 40 weeks so I need to get on this “getting prepared” stuff.
- Call the hospital and get registered.
- Wash Oliver’s clothes & bedding (and pray that Tyson stays out of the crib!) Finish the decorations for the showers.
- GET ANOTHER MASSAGE! – PS April (the massage therapist), at Aveda, AMAZING! Go to her!
There are a million other things we’ll need to do before
Ollie gets here but these are just a few that are a little bit more time
pressing and probably shouldn't wait all that much longer. It gives me a little bit of anxiety knowing
that these things are finished yet. It doesn't help that I’m a “list” person
and really need to start marking things off my list just to feel like I’m
getting somewhere!
Yesterday, Mister and I did some running around and got some
shopping done. We picked up some things
that I wanted to make some stuff for the baby shower on the 27th. Mister did a great job helping me roll
diapers and tape ribbon. Although, he
did feel the need to take a diaper and place it on his head for a funny photo
but would not let me put on the blog. Ha! He’s got standards I guess! Here are
some other pics from our crafty adventures from yesterday!

I was able to attend my friend Ashley’s baby shower on
Saturday in St James. She got lots of
stuff! It was really neat to go through all her stuff and see what it all was
and what it all did! Then that afternoon I was able to head over to her place
and help her take off tags and scope it all out! I had lots of questions, and
it was kind of fun to figure it all out with her! Also, super fun to watch her husband Tyler
putting together all the gadgets! He’s got “proud daddy” written all over his
face! That little nugget of theirs is going to be one lucky little loved
baby! Watching all their families at the
shower just being all smiles and over the top excited to help, makes you really
take a step back and go “wow, these kids are so dang lucky!”. There are so many
kids out there that get tossed to the side and don’t get shown the love and
attention they need, and here Ashley & I are with a fantastic families (on
both sides), that are going to just cherish these little peanuts and do
anything for them. (Emotions are running
high, yes, but it’s still pretty amazing that we have the people in our lives
that we do!) – k enough of that! (love you Ash!)
Oliver has definitely been doing some shifting lately. I’ve had some more pressure in my hips and
can tell that he’s getting heavier. Which is to be expected I suppose, beings he's almost 5 lbs! I've had some
mild contractions have come and gone lately as well. Today I had one that stopped me in my tracks
and I had to just let that one pass before I could move. Nothing since, though, so I’m sure it was
Braxton Hicks, but it was enough to make me a little scare of the next “bad one”.
Sleeping at night is beginning to become more of a
challenge. Rolling over is a little
painful unless I roll over slowly.
Shifting from side to side isn't Oliver’s favorite thing. If I shift too fast, I can almost feel him
slide to the other side of my tummy, and then he’s up and ready to move. So… slow turns to keep baby sleeping! Some of
my dreams are becoming a lot more vivid and strange as well! Probably doesn't help my dreams that I watch a lot of SVU or NCIS before bed – makes for lots of
“cops & robber” type dreams ha!
Beings that my last couple blogs were a little long, I’ll be
sure to keep this one short. Ollie and I
are back to the doctor next week for our 35 week appointment and then it’ll be
weekly visits after that until he makes his big arrival!! Here’s to a fast week and warmer weather…
eventually! What a difference 14 weeks makes eh!? Geesh....
