Baby shower pics!
A little weekly update before I head to all my doctor appointments tomorrow. I was feeling pretty good this week emotionally. I have been taking everyones advice about thinking positively and trying to be in good spirits. Wednesday my sister Kat called and told me I had to leave my house, that she had a surprise for me. She works for a cleaning company, and they all came in and cleaned my house top to bottom. They did everything I hate doing, dusting, mopping, washing windows etc. It was such a nice surprise. I was glad to know that people cared enough to do something like that for me. One of the girls that cleaned my house is due the same day as me and I know how uncomfortable it is to be 7 months pregnant. She works every day, and took the time to clean my house, so I was extremely appreciative.
I was expecting my in-laws on Saturday, which I was excited for, because I love having people around. Kristin's friend Elisha came up with my mom to stay the weekend with her, and my friend Kristie came up with Kate. In hindsight I should have thought something was up because I've lived up here for 3 years and never have had that many people just happen to come up on the same weekend. My sister Kristin asked if I could take a ride with her to Wal-mart and when we came home there was a surprise baby shower waiting for me. I guess my sister had planned it for a couple months, which was no easy thing to do considering most of my friends and family live in Mass. I wasn't even planning on having a shower so it was nice, and I definately can use the gifts seeing as how we don't have much money at the moment. It's funny because we planned this baby because we were financially stable, and I was looking forward to buying all these cute things and decorating the nursery, and now I'm scared we're going to have to struggle to get just the essentials for her.
Kristie and Kate helped me set up the things I did get for the shower and put all the clothes away, and when it was all done I had an extreme sense of anxiety, because it made it all "real" for me. I'm thinking to myself wow she's going to be here in 7 weeks, and then I am going to have to deal with all the worries and unknowns and anxieties that are going to come with her birth. At least when she is in me I know she is safe, once she is out who knows, it's up in the air. I will post with an update tomorrow when I get back from the docs.
