Post showers and just waiting...

Well, all my fun and wonderful baby showers are over and we got so many great things - we are truly blessed by the gracious people in our lives! I will post some new pics from this last one at my work Friday - we received a ton of great items and our pack-n-play, which I was excited about!

We proceeded to put it together with Grammy & Papa Friday night and that was a hoot! Those things don't come with good instructions!

Macy Kate has really grown over the last 2 weeks and sitting up straight is not an option for me anymore :-) She does crazy rolls in there and loves to "high five" Daddy when he puts his hands on there and talks to her! He said he wanted to learn the words to "You are my sunshine" the other day - it melted my heart! He will be such an awesome Daddy!

The waiting game of when/how/where will labor start is fun but also so nerve racking! I know she will come in God's perfect timing but it being the one thing you have no way of planning is so bizarre!

I will write more later and post the pics of the last shower.

Will I ever sleep soundly again?

Well, starting my 34th week and the sleep situation is only getting worse :-) I know what you're thinking.....this is preparing me for Macy Kate's arrival....but come on...really...why can't you get some good sleep right before your life is about to change forever!

I have about 5 pillows I rearrange about 10 times a night - I used to think poor Doug but he says he never even hears me get up and down..so I guess I need to make more noise so that he isn't sleeping quite so good! HA!

At least when she gets here it will be something fun/loving to get up for...for now...it's just potty time and trying to get comfy with this watermelon belly everyone says is so cute! :-)

But I am convinced...it will ALL be worth it soon!

Macy Kate's room is ready for her

It's pretty much done - a few more items to hang or wash but we mainly just need to insert her into her beautiful room to complete it! I can't say how thankful and blessed we are for having all the things given/handed down to us to make her room what it is. And I must say I am very proud of the Humpty wall and am so glad I was able to pull it off!

Emotional wreck

Well...I am middle of my 33rd week and just an emotional wreck :-) I'm sure Doug is thinking "Will this ever end?" - HA! I cry easily and feel so huge and am just SO ready to meet our baby and be done with being an incubator :-) I am putting our Shutterfly link on here of our latest shower pics and will add some from work when I have that one next week. We have been SO blessed to have so many things handed down and given as gifts to us - we have some wonderful people in our lives!
I have washed all her laundry (MANY loads!) and have sterilized her bottles and paci's and am beginning to "nest" and clean out closets, etc. I will pack her bag for the hospital this weekend and will probably pack mine & Doug's in the next two weeks. I am so ready for her to be here but then again want her to come precisely on October 5th or later so my Mom can be here :-) Pray for that!
Well, I'll post more later - love y'all!

Starting to blog!

Well, lots of people I know have these so I thought I would take a stab at it! Macy Kate will keep us busy soon so this may work out well to post a note or funny story and some pics/videos.
