Baby Shower
So I had my baby shower yesterday... Freddie did a good job pulling it off with the girls as a surprise... I'm sure he was stressed since he's the worst at surprises... I was thankful to everyone who helped plan and to everyone who attended. It was at Joyful Garden - one of my fav Chinese Restaurants... Freddie even managed to contact my current and old co-workers to invite them so I was even more surprised he was able to do that! It was a good time and afterward I was exhausted. It doesn't take much to get me tired these days... Luckily I had a 90 minute pre-natal massage that morning so I was nice and relaxed by the time I got to the shower...
When we got home and I was surrounded by all the bags and boxes full of baby gear, it hit me once again about how our lives are going to change forever soon. Our living room will be cluttered with baby gear and we won't be able to just sit on the couch to watch tv without a worry in the world... I guess this will be a semi-solution to my OCD since it will be near impossible to keep up with the baby and maintain my OCD. I know we're not ready, but I don't think we'll ever be. I guess we just have to face it head on and try to do the best we can and hope well all come out of it alive and sane...
Now that I only have 4 weeks left, I really need to start packing my hospital bag, organizing the nursery and mentally prepare myself for labor and delivery. I've been thinking about the L&D non-stop since the birthing class last weekend. Some days I feel like I'll be ok and will fight through the pain like a champ and other days I am just terrified. As with any girl, I just pray for an average length labor and hope I don't need any emergency intervention for any reason during the process. I really hope Freddie doesn't faint and that all three of us come out of that delivery room healthy...
