Home Stretch

I'm 37 weeks now, which is considered full term, and my doula is officially on call. Eek! My feet are too fat to wear my Chacos and I took my rings off while I could since some times of day I can't. It's not easy carting around these extra 36 pounds but I'm still mostly doing everything normally. I'm still trying to figure out how to wrap things up at work and taking care of boring grownup administrative tasks like making wills. But for the most part, I don't think there's anything else we can do to make ourselves more ready. So, ready when you are, baby!

Baby Party

On May 19th we had our baby party! I had to convince people it was not a shower, because men were welcome too, there were no stupid games, and I didn't make everyone sit down and watch me open presents. Lots of people stopped by, ate, and hung out, and I think they all had a good time! Jenny and Sarah did a great job of coordinating the food. The waffle bar was the centerpiece of it all, and people loved the chicken and waffles. Plus the weather was great and there was hula hooping in the yard thanks to Angie and her hoops.
