Baby Bump shoot and Baby Shower

So this past weekend was my Baby Shower. It was fantastic fun and it was so great to see everyone. I enjoyed every conversation, and every game played. And I loved that I had my husband and guy friends there to make it more enjoyable.

Before the baby shower, Melissa came over and did our Baby Bump Photo Shoot. It was so much fun, and we came out of it with some Amazing photos. Melissa got Josh to laugh and smile and it made everything more relazed and fun.

Ever since the baby shower, I have been catching up on sleep and working on all of our last minute baby stuff. We have everything besides some extras like spare pillow covers and the crib aquarium I really want for her - it replaces the traditional mobile. All her clothes are washed, and put away - her bed is set with waterproof pads and everything is organized and put away. Our dining room finally looks like a play room, and not a storage of baby stuff. Everything has its place, including the awesome travel system (stroller with car seat) my mom got us.

Sadly, since Monday ive been feeling weird and iffy. She is obviously getting uncomfortable and lets me know it. She has been kicking and moving around trying to find a good spot. She seems to be awake more, and has woken me up numerously. Luckily Ive been so tired I dont really get up unless I REALLY have to pee. Ive been sleeping alot, like I did in the first few months. And I love naps!! Heartburn is back with a vengance, and I constantly have back pain. The worst part is, she likes buring herself into places obviously to tiny for her 4 pound body - like my ribs or my hips. She apparently takes after me, because my mom said I did the same thing starting around this time and my mom was uncomfortable the whole rest of her pregnancy (not cool). Needless to say, my mom is slightly enjoying the payback my daughter is giving me.
During the horrible storm on Tuesday, she tried to hide from the thunder, as the loud noises bothered her. Well her way of hiding was around my hips. Josh literally had to push her back in as her back stuck out of my stomach like a little bubble. I was in so much pain. Plus with the storms, the power going on and off, and the fire alarm having a glitch - I was very unhappy and didnt go to work. Ive been so uncomfortable that I not only didnt work Tuesday, but Josh went in for me tonight.

And, haha, after weeks of asking to come off overnight, my manager told Josh they will probably have me off overnights for the next schedule because I didnt come in at all this week! They say it like its a bad thing LoL im so excited. It took so long to finally get what I wanted. Im afraid of getting stir crazy, and I like having my paycheck come in because its just extra income now - but apart of me wants to quit! And if I continue on the uncomfortable trend Im going to quit soon. Im just ready for this to be done and over with. It sucks having to ask Josh to help me out of bed because my back and hips hurt =( plus, I just want to meet leilani already!!!!

Well that is all for now. Im sure I will be updating more as I wait for baby girl to arrive
