Final Baby Shower and 34 Week Update!

My amazing friends threw me my final baby shower in SC today, and it was absolutely awesome!  They knocked it out of the park with the decorations, food, and company!  We received a bunch of clothes and a few very thoughtful homemade/handmade gifts.

Jello Desserts

The amazing spread of food!

Homemade lemon cake by Liz.
This was to DIE for!

Adorable owl napkins!

Jenn made the most adorable owl diaper cake!

Owl diaper cake and an assorted basket of goodies!



When it comes to life altering events, I couldn't ask for a better group of women to surround me!
Lydia, Liz, Me, and Jenn (My awesome hostesses and friends!)


How far along: 34 weeks, 5 days
Gender: Boy!
Weight gain: +28
Maternity clothes: Absolutely!
Stretch marks: Not yet, but I really need to be consistent with lotion after each shower and before bedtime!
Belly button in or out: I think it has about 2 weeks max left before it pops out like a turkey timer.  How terrible!
Wedding rings on or off: On
Sleep: Great for the most part.  A few days this week, I woke up with achy hips, but I'm going to try and tough it out the last 5-ish weeks without a body pillow.
Best moment this week: Going on the hospital tour this week and having our final baby shower!  It was sooooo very comforting to see the hospital and know that I'm going to deliver this little nugget at such an amazing hospital.  I am also so ridiculously lucky to have such amazing people down here in SC supporting and caring about us!
Miss anything: I really would love a daiquiri or a margarita while lounging on the beach!
Happy or moody most of the time: Being off of work is a great thing!  I'm in a great mood 99% of the time now!
Movement: Like an alien!  He's pretty active in the evening from about 10-11pm, and throughout the day there are periods of pretty intense activity, but then there are moments when he's very quiet.
Queasy or sick: Feeling pretty tired this week, but no nausea...and the acid reflux is still frequent!
Looking forward to: "Finishing" the nursery in the next two weeks.  I just ordered the vinyl wall piece for the nursery, so that's going to be one of the last things we do to "finish" everything.  After that, I'll be able to do a post on the nursery for everyone that is curious!
