Mommy's Baby Shower

The ladies from church threw a baby shower for Mommy yesterday. It was very nice, and lots of people were there to see Mommy and they brought all kinds of neat stuff for me! Mommy nd her friend Cindy have known each other since high school. Cindy makes cakes, and she always does a good job on them, but Mommy was blown away by the cake Cindy made for me. Here, see for yourself:





She did an awesome job of adding in the animals from the rainforest stuff that decorates my room. Here's a picture of Mommy holding the cake.


Lots of people got clothes for me that had a camo background. Daddy should like those. Since the shower, there are only a few things left that Mommy and Daddy will need to get for me, so they are very thankful for all the gifts that were bought. Mommy took a break from washing all my new clothes and putting things away to update my blog, but now she's gotta get back to her to do. We're down to less than a month before I arrive!

We lost two weeks!

Mommy went to see the ultrasound lady and the doctor today. The ultrasound showed that I'm pretty cramped up without a lot of room to move. (Like Mommy didn't realize that already!!) After he looked at the measurements, Mommy's doctor not only decided to move her due date, but he also decided to schedule a c section. My birthday will be March 20, the first day of Spring, 2009! Mommy's excited, but also a little panicked. She thought she had 6 more weeks to get ready for me, but with the doctor scheduling my birthday, she now only has 4 weeks left! Daddy's leave isn't supposed to start until a few days after my birthday. They talked about it, and even though they both want him there, they will leave it as it is. That way, Daddy won't have to sit around the hospital for 3 or 4 days, and we can spend all of the time of his leave together at home, as a family. Mommy promised Daddy that TONS of pictures will be taken in the few days before he is able to be there. (Though I am pretty sure that was gonna happen regardless.) Mommy's friends and family will be giving her a baby shower this weekend, so after that she'll be able to see what still needs to be bought to get ready for me. The carpet in my room was cleaned today, and the rest of the house will be done later, so that's one thing Mommy can mark off of her "to do" list. I think she's kind of wishing for a fairy godmother to come in with a wand and "poof" the other things done, but I don't see that happening. Mommy added a countdown to the top of my page, so you can keep track of how much longer until I make my grand debut if you want.
