36 1/2 Weeks

Appointment went well today. The belly is measuring right on schedule, and baby's heart beat is 150 BPM. Strong and healthy! Oh yeah, and she's head down - ready to go!

I'm almost finished packing for the big day, just have to pick up a few things. But, I'm feeling very ready - I finished writing my birth plan, so...all we have left to do, really, is wait!!  We've waited this long, a couple more weeks will be a piece of cake! Right?

Just needed to give a shout out to my amazing sister for throwing me the best baby shower! It was so fun, the food was good, and everyone had a great time! You're the best! Thanks to the girls and Mom for helping too! It was a very special day! :)

Also, looking forward to Friday & Sunday's showers too. Baby Violet is so lucky!

Well, we're almost here! If everyone thinks really hard and wishes for Violet to come tonight, then maybe she will!!! :) Ready, set, go! I am thankful for the sunshine today - I will certainly get outside and walk a bit. Maybe to Famous Footwear to get a pair of Fit Flops for my poor feet! Actually, looking better than a few days ago. Thanks for the prayers. We've got a couple more projects left to do, Scotty's almost done with the artwork in Violet's room, and the rest of my storage baskets are on their way - I can finally finish organizing which everyone knows I love to do! Scotty put up a beautiful shelving/clothes hanging unit in her closet, I'm tempted to do the same for our bedroom! Photos coming soon!

Lean On Your Friends and Family

I can't begin to tell you how amazing and comforting it is to have people you trust look after your little one!! Grandparents are in general safer drivers, more attentive, almost to the point of overstimulating, but always aware more than most parents!! So lean on them when you can. The relationship they build with your baby/child is irreplaceable! And if a friend offers to watch your little shnookums, drop her off every once and a while and do something nice for yourself, like a hair cut, massage, or even a nap! And finally, did you know that there are great, affordable daycares at gyms!! Gold's has a saline pool, family swim times, a cardio theater, and steam room and sauna!! The teachers at the kids klub there are great, use them!! They are a god send! Hope you're enjoying the sunshine today!! And thank you to everyone who's been there for us!! We're here for you too!

Approaching 2

    This girl is amazing. I am so thankful every day I wake up and see her beautiful face. Violet is full of joy, humor, and love. She knows what she wants and knows how to ask for it, most of the time in a very polite manner. I don't know what I did to deserve such a perfect daughter. Somebody's smiling down on me that's for sure. Obviously, it goes without saying that her family and friends have been so supportive and loving and kind to my Violet. She is truly a very lucky little girl and I am lucky to be her mom.   Where does the time go? It was just yesterday I was sitting nursing her, well, actually it was this morning...but you get what I'm saying. Where does the time go? They are so tiny and yet so full of life when they are born. From the time they first open their eyes and sneeze to when they beging holding their heads up and laughing for the first time, to sitting up and crawling. The way they try so hard to go, move, explore, live. Every day more ...
