Is time flying or not going by fast enough?

Is the impending arrival coming too fast or not fast enough? Depends on when you ask me. I am a mixture of emotions and mood swings... too hot, too cold, loving, loathing, fat, pretty, demanding, giving. I am the definition of antonym's.

Lots of exciting things for Jeremy and I since our last posting. We have decided that we are going to use a midwife for the birth. The women's center I am going to includes a group of midwives that will deliver at the hospital. So should something not go normally, we will be at one of the best hospitals in the Valley. Our midwife is Connie and we love her! She is perfect for a high maintenance mother-to-be. We are planning a natural birth, but I have no opposition to medication should it become necessary. And since I have never given birth I am not going to be so bold as to state that I won't be using an epidural. But I am hopeful that we can stick with the plan.

A whole group of my friends have come down with H1N1. I think everyone caught it getting together last Sunday for the game. I went, but because I am starving and getting exponentially fatter I dived into the food before it was put out for everyone else. I think this may have been how I avoided it. It is a miserable flu. I hope everyone who has it feels better soon. Love you guys and hope the babies are doing better.

My mom and I (and Jeremy) pretty much finished the baby's room yesterday. Baby girl and I are so grateful to have such a wonderful woman and fashionista in our lives. She pretty much designed the room and it looks great. Plus all the clothes and other baby things she can't resist. (Little girl already has a full winter Nautica outfit.) Thanks Mom!

All of the grandparent's have been wonderful and we are very grateful for everything that has been given to baby girl and she is not even here yet. Winstead parents got us the travel system and Pac N'Play which we love! (Although I thought the Pac N'Play was going to cause Jeremy an anxiety attack). Plus Grandpa Tim sent her first piggy bank and contribution... college is already in the future! Stanley parents sent some really cute clothes and picture book. Williams parents hit up target for a variety of just about everything. Thanks so much! Jeremy is determined to not let her be spoiled but I see him slowly breaking.

Baby Weekend!

We have had a very busy baby weekend! Saturday Jeremy and I had the 3D/4D ultra-sound. It was really exciting. However, Baby Stanley takes after her daddy already and was not interested in waking up. She was nestled in tight, so we were only able to get profile pictures. We did get to see her open her eyes and scrunch her face up in disgust over the poking and prodding. (Of course as soon as we got home she was ready to perform.) I personally think she is going to look like Jeremy and has my feet.)

Sunday was baby shower day for my sister, Crystal. She is in town from Hawaii and my mom and I were excited to give her a baby shower for her and her little boy on the way. Her daughter, Leora was the life of the party. Leora thought everything was for her and at one point took all her clothes of and put on the baby's clothes. We were also fortunate to have the Williams' side of my family in town and were able to have them over on Sunday.





I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to spend so much time with family this weekend. So even though, I am exhausted it has been a wonderful past couple of days. We have a doc appointment on Tuesday and I will post more after that.

P.S. If anyone can give me a lesson on adding pictures to these posts I would be very grateful. I am incredibly frustrated right now and have given up on the layout. Thanks!
