29 Weeks and my First Baby Shower









My shower was so much fun, I got so many great things!! I had a pretty good turn out and everything was set up so cute. The food was good and I had tons of presents to go through. I was so excited for my shower, I just felt like it was all so surreal. It was finally for me, celebrating my baby!! I have the best church family ever and they made everything so special. I don't think I would've made it w/o the support and prayers of all my church family. I got so many cute things and I got a few of my big things too that Brad has already put together for Lexi. :) We got the stroller, infant car seat, swing and her play gym. We got lots of other stuff too but I won't name them all. I did stay up until 1100 organizing her room and everything I got from the shower, I was too excited to go to bed. Her room is filling up fast that's for sure!!


My week started a little rough my sinuses were really acting up and I was really miserable all day Monday and Tuesday. I actually had to break my tradition of not turning the air conditioning on until June and turn it on this past week. I turned it on Monday night so I could breathe and sleep a little better and it has helped. Brad was pretty happy about it too. I had a doctors appointment Tuesday so I was glad to finally be getting a chance to get some antibiotics to help me feel better. I called the nurse Monday and she told me a bunch of over the counter stuff I could take so our medicine cabinet is pretty full right now but unfortunately none of it really helped. I was so stressed on Tuesday because my appointment wasn't until 415 so I was just trying to get through the day at work. When I finally got to my appointment I ended up not even seeing my doctor until 530 and I didn't leave until 600. I was not happy at all, I had a little break down but since I have such an awesome husband he made my night a little better. My doc prescribed me a z-pac so Brad dropped that off and then came home and cooked dinner for us. After he was done cooking I ate and he went and picked up my medicine so I could start taking it asap. Then he came home ate and did the dishes. He can be so great, I love him. :) I didn't sleep very well that night either so he got up and got me some water and medicine in the middle of the night. I am feeling a lot better now that I have been on my meds for 4 days, being a sick pregnant woman is not fun. I'm not complaing though I have had a pretty great pregnancy thus far. Only 10 maybe 11 weeks to go until Lexi will be in my arms.

I am so glad to finally have an extra day off work, I love memorial day. We are just relaxing this weekend and having fun with our baby stuff and getting some things ready. We are going to my moms on memorial day and having some good grilled food. Brads cousin had her baby girl today her name is Kylie Jo and she weighs 8lbs 6ounces. I'm hoping she brings her to my shower in a couple weeks but I would completely understand if she didn't! Its a little soon after the baby is born so we'll see.

In the next few weeks I will be posting some nursery and more shower pics and hopefully my bigger belly. :)

I've got a little something for you, so I'll bring it to school to give to Rachel.

Fun, fun, fun! Look at all of that pink!
