Well we had a wonderful baby shower thanks to Amber & James. It was so nice of them to do that for us, and Amber got really creative with the decorations and even had little signs that had the invite patterns on them. The food was great and she really outdid herself! More people came than I even expected and it was so great. We got really great gifts and it was nice we got to open them together in front of everyone. The guys were mostly outside the rest of the time, and the ladies were mostly inside with the nice a/c. It's always a good time with Michael's friends and family and I can honestly say during the time I've gotten to know them more, I feel good knowing that they are my friends and family as well now. Being from a smaller family, I wasn't initially used to large group get-togethers and the big family environment, but I love it like crazy. It is what I would want for my kids too.

When we got back from our weekend in Atlanta, we had a doctor appt on Monday. Which was good because I hadn't seen my doctor in 5 weeks. Again, he was more interested in talking to hubby about Uganda rather than his patient (me) but that was to be expected. He was happy to see my blood sugars were being kept under control with the gd diet and also pleased with my overall weight gain thus far. We also got a sonogram and got to see Christopher moving around in there chillin. He actually had his feet and hands out of his face for once but of course when we go on Friday to the 3d/4d place, I'm sure he'll be covering it again...lol He is breech again, argh!

Although he was head down finally last week, the little bugger decided to do his own thing. My doc said that hopefully he moves otherwise it will be c-section for me. I was a little disgruntled that he didn't suggest we try to move him around manually at the end if that was the case, rather than just black and white c-section as only option. The only worry from him was the fact my blood pressure was so high. He ordered blood work to check for PreEclampsia when he also saw how swollen my footsies were. The nurse called me yesterday, however, and said my work came back normal and I don't have it. However, if my blood pressure is still high next Monday or any other appt, I will probably have to keep being re-tested for it. Bummer!

We started our Lamaze class on Monday too, which even though he tried to get out of, I think he enjoyed himself actually. There are 10 couples in the class and all the men kinda look like they had been dragged there...lol They even had him put on a backpack filled with 'pregnancy weight.' It was really funny. During the break, we went to the nursery where all the new babies were getting foot printed and first baths. I couldn't believe how small the babies were. Michael was in awe and said that it made it seem so much more real to him. And yesterday when he got back from work, he mentioned that he had thought about the little babies we saw while he was at work. Which really warmed my heart because I could tell he was even more excited that it will soon be us really seeing our little gift from God.

I also love it when he talks to my belly. He always says what he has to say to Chris Rod, then ends it with, "Now get out of my wife!!!" lol I think it's so funny and cute. I cannot wait to see him holding our son.
