Work Parties!

So today was a CRAZY last day at work!!!  Everyone was surprised I made it through the day without going into labor!  (hopefully soon!!!)  Every single patient I saw was like "HOW ARE YOU STILL WORKING!!!"  By the end of the day, I was asking myself the same thing!!  But I did get a laugh out of the fact that people are amazed I am still wearing my wedding rings...yep I have them both on!  One of the pregnant patients said she hasn't worn either of hers since 22 weeks! haha 

The girls threw me a little party......Nick got some awesome gifts, had lots of food and Janelle made an amazing cake!!!  I am not a fan of cake, but I seriously could have eaten the whole thing!!  I am definitely going to miss them but can't wait to be home with my son for a few months! =)

Half way through the day I get a text from Kris saying that his work also had a party for him......weird huh!  He was not expecting it.....and its not like today was his last day!! haha  So Nick has even MORE stuff!!!   This kid is truly spoiled!  And we honestly haven't really had to buy anything.  I think I have only bought like 3 of his millions of outfits and all of the big stuff we were given at baby showers!  Its been nice.  Kris would kill me for posting this, but I had to!!  I thought it was a cute idea =)



Daddys Tool Belt!



Super cute right!!!  Kris, being a man, did not think it was as "cute" as I did.  haha

Well Mom arrives EARLY tomorrow morning!!!  I am excited!!  And even more excited to do some shopping with her before baby arrives......unless he comes tonight!  I will keep you posted!!! 

XOXO

39 Weeks

I can't believe he is almost here!!!!! 

Me Day!!

Its weird to think this is my LAST day off at home......ALONE!!!  I work tomorrow and Monday (my last day!!) and mom gets here early Tues morning.....and then baby will be arriving shortly!!  It just hit me.....but......what a wonderful change it will be though!!!  So today I plan on doing a day for ME!!  No working on baby stuff.  (We'll see if that actually happens haha)  and tonight the Hubby is taking me out on a date!!!  Its actually been fun trying to do as much as we can together before Nicholas arrives!

Everything is going great and I can't even imagine what it will feel like again not to be pregnant!!  =)  Due in 9 days....so we will continue the waiting game on when he decides to come out and play.  Unfortunately, I still feel great so I think it might be awhile..... 

Snow Day!!!

I have to say, I am beginning to LOVE these snow days!!  =)  Work closes and Hubby and I get to spend another day at home with each other!!  There is nothing better than snuggling up on the couch and watching a movie and seeing the snow fall outside!  It makes everything look so pretty!! 

I am just thankful I have 4 wheel drive in case the little one ever decides to make his grand entrance on one of these days =)

Ok so today would have been an awesome birthday......however baby apparently did not agree! =(  I know, its still early......I am just super anxious to hold him already!!!  Although, it will definitely be a little weird NOT to be pregnant anymore, I am looking forward to all the fun me and Nicholas are going to have!!! =)

37 Weeks

Baby's Room.......

So originally we had planned on doing the baby's room in all Red Sox stuff....cute right!!  But after talking to my mom, she talked me into doing a "baby" room and holding off with the sports until he is a toddler!  We have everything pretty much done except a few last decorations that my mom is going to help me with once she gets out here =)  I have to say, most of the work was taking apart everything that was in "Kris' sports room" because it was a serious disaster zone for a while.  Once the room was cleared out, we put together the big furniture and then it went together very nicely! 

I can't believe I am already 37 weeks and that he is so close to arrival time!!!  I am already dilating which is GREAT news since so many new moms aren't dilated at all at 40 weeks....I just hope I keep going and don't stay at a stand still for the next few weeks!!  We have our hospital bags packed and ready to go!!!  Just waiting for the little one now.  =)

Here are a few pics of the room in progress and I will post more once I take some recent ones!!



My goal is to have everything completely done by this weekend (baby's room, our room, etc) so I will take some pics of the finished room  =)
