First...my best friend in the entire world and her amazing mother threw me an AWESOME baby shower on August 15th, with a ton of good food, a totally decorated house in a really fun animal theme, and really great friends. I got a ton great gifts, including a space saver high chair from my grandma and a great sling from my mom....aannndd my crib bedding from the amazing Wolf family!! It was a long day, that was finished off by a fun-filled BBQ to celebrate my best friend's bday.
On a separate note, I believe I am the clumsiest pregnant woman on the block. About a month ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go racing down the stairs to try and catch our cat the ran out the door (they are supposed to be only indoor cats), and while going down the stairs from our apartment, misjudged the last two steps and went tumbling down. Ahhh....I was so freaked out about falling on my stomach and protecting the baby, that I overcompensated and really tweaked my right leg. This had me lying in bed and limping around to the few places I could get around to (i.e. the kitchen and the bathroom) for the next couple of days. It was very painful, and my spirit was totally crushed. I couldn't do anything...I had to rely completely on MS to do everything which was really hard for him and for me.
Then, when my leg finally started to feel better, I got a horrible fever, sore throat, and cold that freaked MS out and had he had me in the ER for three hours to make sure that everything was okay with me and the baby. Turns out, I didn't have swine flu, but just a little viral thing. It was not fun, and I couldn't sleep at all for several days because I couldn't breathe with my sore throat. So my spirit has been a little depleted the last couple of months with so much going on my with body and such. But I didn't want this to be a big pity party for me.
So...my leg is finally better, no more limping around, and no more cold. My spirits are starting to really lift and I am REALLY excited to meet my DAUGHTER! Her room is pretty much set-up, crib is up and bedding is in. I put up decals of some cute safari animals to decorate her room. MS and I have taken 2 of our 3 birthing/baby classes. And today we set-up the stroller and put the car seat in the car. We are really getting close to meeting this new addition to our family! I had a Dr's appointment yesterday, and I measured at 37 weeks - two weeks past where I am actually at - 35 weeks! I am thinking that she might come early, but maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part! :)
