One month left!

Wow..a month left! I can't believe it. I've got so much to do!! I'm so excited, nervous and scared at the same time. I'm sure that is pretty normal. I'm feeling fine and happy. She is getting stronger and bigger so just her moving around can hurt. But it's a small price to pay! One of my friends just had her baby and she is just so happy. I hope things work out that well for us.

I had a great baby shower on the 17th! Brittney did such an awesome job and we had a really good turn out. Thanks for everyone who showed up. I felt so loved and special!

We are getting maternity pics done this weekend so I'll be sure to send them out when they are ready.

love you all!

Adventure!

I had an adventure today! I went to downtown Dallas to get a 4-D sonogram done at El Centro college. One of J's friends at work told us about it and that they only charged $30 for a scan because it's for teaching. Well, I bugged him for months to get the info about it and when he did I kept forgetting about it - flash forward to Monday. I emailed the director and she said that the students were in finals this week so they wouldn't be doing any scans BUT she would do one for me. Of course I was thrilled!

Let me tell you, this week has been a busy one. I've been going to product trainings for work, running around like a crazy person these last few days. Plus I had to go to a 7 am meeting this morning! After the meeting I start heading over there and it is just pouring rain until I get halfway there. I drive around downtown lost for a while then end up finding the college, only to discover I'm in the wrong frikin building. I'm already almost 30 minutes late when I get there but she is forgiving and goes ahead and does the scan for me. She squirted a ton of jelly on me and it was everywhere! She got a few good shots but Cate seems to have her head buried inside me, totally face down. We got a fairly good profile shot but after that she just buried in more. So she wasn't the most active but I did walk away with some good shots and confirmation that she is indeed, a girl!



After all that I took the pictures to J's work where he immediately started showing everyone. I'm sure everyone in that office was tired of him by the end of the day! But it's good to know that he is very excited!

Lots of love

A little disappointed

Well, we were supposed to go to Midland for my baby shower last weekend but we ended up staying home. It turns out that my best friend and hostess of the shower Amy's daughter (and our God Daughter) Chloe caught her the flu bug and had to go to the hospital. So the shower in Midland had to be canceled. Amy was very sad and so was I. But all that mattered was that Chloe was fine and she is! She is getting better every day but has been in quarenteen until Friday. They will also find out if it was regular flu or swine flu on that day as well. Seeing as I didn't want to get sick, we decided to stay home. I was very bummed! I was really looking forward to seeing all my friends and family but I guess that will have to wait until Cate is here and able to travel. But my mom, knowing I was sad, and my brother Robby came up on Saturday and we spent the day hanging out. It was nice of them to come and I felt alot better! Plus an extended weekend never hurt anyone either :)

As far as everything else, I'm feeling fine. Baby Cate has been kicking away! We have our next 2 week appointment on Monday. It'll probably just be the routine but I'm hoping she'll do a sonogram again. We'll see - but I doubt it. I guess you never know! We have our birthing class on the 16th too. That'll be interesting! I just hope they don't show a video. I would just rather not see it right now! Ugh!

I'm gearing up for my shower here on the 17th! I'm hoping there will be a good turnout. I'd love to see everyone!

Well, that's all I have for now. Love to you all!
