Well, I am not doing a very good job keeping y'all up to date so I am going to try my best to catch everyone up to speed!
Although it was for less than 2 weeks, it sure was great having the hubby home! Best part was he was able to be here for the 36 week ultrasound & both of us were amazed at the growth of this lil peanut (who is now the size of a water mellon!) The 20 week ultrasound you were able to see all the lil parts, at 36 weeks the baby is so big you just get bits and pieces at a time (still incredibly amazing!)...
Steven has been in Dominican for 2 1/2 weeks now, but it feels like its been much longer! He is currently waiting out the rest of the storm, although the hurricane is far past them at this point; they are still receiving lots of wind and rain and have missed playing a few games & most likely another game today. He sure is glad to have his playstation ;)
As for the 30th birthday, it was a lot better than I had anticipated... It actually wasn't all that bad; thanks to the spoiling and pampering of my wonderful hubby, awesome parents and amazing friends!! Best part: Having my hubby home of course!! ;) I guess 30 will be ok after all (haha).
We had our baby shower Oct 6th and it was a huge success!! We have never felt so incredibly blessed!!! We received so many gifts and gift cards that we were able to get pretty much everything we needed and wanted for the baby (with some left over)... this is one spoiled peanut! We also had the blessing of so many friends who traveled far to get here (from Hawai'i to Az & gifts and love from the East Coast!).... My lovely friend Annie came from Hawai'i & blessed us with help, comfort, gifts and most incredibly: being our personal photographer! She even took time out of her site seeing to do our maternity photos; which are absolutely amazing!!!! We are so very thankful to all of you who helped to make it such a special and blessed weekend :)
Finally, BABY!!
We are begging this lil one to stay in a few more weeks! Who would have thought that I would be wanting to go the full amount of time and be wishing for a somewhat long labor haha... our only hope of Steven making it for the birth! My Doc is wonderful and she has been so great in keeping us up to date as much as possible with understanding where my body is at and how to tell signs of labor are just around the corner! No one thinks I will make it to my due date at this point for I am already 3cm dilated, over 75% effaced, station 0, and a soft and forward cervix... all signs that point to the baby coming soon :) My next appt is on Tues so we will see if there has been any changes :)
