Week 31-Baby Shower!


So on Saturday, my friend Shereen, from the bank, threw me the most incredible baby shower. She made incredible food; like curry chicken salad sandwiches, veggies, fruits, lime rickeys, lil’ smokies, and Leslee’s most famous carrot cake with that dreamy cream cheese frosting that I’m pretty sure I would die for. Several of my good friends from work showed up and gave my little girl some darling gifts. I am afraid, though (and I fully admit that this is my fault), that my daughter might think that there exists only one color in the world. Since her nursery is purple, and my favorite color is purple, I received a lot of great looking purple items, along with darling pink outfits, blankets, etc.



Baby girl is also going to look like me, as she already has several cute little pairs of shoes for her little feet. If you were to ask Daddy which pair he likes best? He would definitely claim that the two pairs of baby Air Jordan booties definitely win over all other shoes. Thanks, Latai!

If I were to choose the best gift that I received? I would say that the friends that I have made while working at the bank are the best presents that money could never buy. They have all been so supportive and so excited for me! I have waited a long time to get pregnant, and the road has been long and hard. It’s funny that family and close friends are there for me and happy with the excitement of my life. However, most things in life occur during the working days, so my co-workers have seen me go through most everything, good or bad, over the past six years. I appreciate and value their friendships and generosity.


I am still doing well; tired as usual, but I can still sleep through the night, with the usual three potty breaks during my rest. Picking up things that I have clumsily dropped on the floor no longer happens. I usually ask my sweet husband to do it for me. I probably should just stop trying to be graceful at this point.
Rob and I have been very fortunate and blessed thus far in our lives. We look forward to another week of adventures as our baby ‘princess’ continues to ‘bake’ for another week.

Thanks for reading!

May the Force be with you 'til next week!

33 Weeks down... How many more to go?

Well this past week has flown by, at least with the growth and development of our baby girl. Other than weighing a bit more than what she should be at this point (thanks to the gestational diabetes), she’s been fairly cooperative with the doctors. Other than making antenatal nurses madly chase her around my belly with fetal monitors to just check and see if she’s active, she is passing her tests with flying colors. I have been very impressed with the medical care that I’ve received over these past few weeks. These doctors and nurses don’t mess around; they get me the help that I need before I even know that I am in need of something. I have a few assignments; fax in my blood sugars every three days and start a bout of insulin shots, which is, ironically, a blessing. The best thing about all of the blood sugar hoopla is that it’s not my fault! I have been doing my job, but apparently the placenta is not making me look good. At least doctors are blaming something other than me! Rob a

Week 32: Eight Months Already!

Maybe it seems normal to think that I am this far along already, but I am in total denial. It’s so crazy telling people that I’m eight months pregnant! It seems so surreal! I am totally to the point of exhaustion now. I wasn’t entirely energetic until this point anyway, but I am definitely not doing much extra lately. My days literally consist of working, coming home, sitting on my comfortable recliner, and dozing off until Rob gets home and wants to eat something. The best weekends are like this past one, where we literally stayed home nearly all day long both on Saturday and Sunday (other than Church and grocery shopping). It was great! The nursery is near completion; we still have to hang some curtains, and get some bedding for the crib. Also, we have to seriously clean out the closet and shelving to actually create some storage space for the baby’s things. She needs to put her 8 pairs of shoes (so far) somewhere, doesn’t she? I have a question to put out there for my blog foll

Seven Months and counting

Rob and I have had many adventures being married for over seven years; we have traveled the world, seen and done many fun and exciting things. However, nothing has added up to the excitement that we feel waiting for the birth of our beautiful princess, our baby girl. Rob and I have started to prepare ourselves for the pains that come with the blessing of having a baby, and also the lack of sleep (which is my most favorite thing in the whole world to do :( We painted her bedroom purple (if you know me well, you wouldn't be too surprised about the color choice), and my darling artistic husband drew a castle on one wall (freehand, thank you very much). It's a good thing one of us knows how to draw... Anyway, this blog is to document, from here on out, our newest adventure. In addition, I literally have family all over the globe that is curious and excited about our new addition (especially my parents and in-laws as we waited FOREVER to procreate, according them them:). We are coun
