Well, we are really closing in on D day here...I'm about 8 months along and we have exactly 45 days until my due date! It looks like I may be induced on 11/6 - if that is the case, only 37 days left! I cannot wait for Lily to be here with us. And of course, I can't wait to not be pregnant anymore! Thad said the other day "It feels like you've been pregnant forever!"..I said, "If you feel that way, imagine how I FEEL!" I am really starting to get to that uncomfortable stage. Even sleeping on my side makes my lower back hurt. It is all worth it and then some...but I am thinking of adopting baby #2!
We have been preparing our other "daughter" Cali for her new sister. I have found her in the nursery sleeping next to the crib a few times and I think she is catching on that a big change is a brewing. She has been our #1 for almost 9 years now so I really want to make sure she is not ignored at all. It is starting to worry me. Yesterday we all went to the beach at Half Moon Bay for the day. Cali had a blast running in the waves and chasing seaweed. Thad and I had fun too but it made us miss our old home a little bit. There is no replacing the beach...but at least it's only 45 minutes away.
The nursery is not as finished as I would like. Everything is pretty much ordered and on it's way but due to some delays, the only piece of furniture in her room remains the crib! That will all change in the next week or two when everything else arrives but I wish it were all finished!
Lily's shower was a couple of weeks ago. It was such a perfect way to help welcome her to the world. My friend of forever & Lily's godmother, Kristy, threw it all by herself and it was amazing. Most of my closest friends and family members were there making it extra special....some people flew in for the occasion which was so nice of them. We got so many great gifts too!
We did some maternity pics a couple weeks ago. They turned out so cute! I am blowing up two for the nursery. I put some below for your enjoyment along with a couple 3D pics of Lily from 31 weeks! She is a cutie pie and I think she is the perfect combo of us both :)
Well that's all for now I guess! There was something else I wanted to write but now I can't remember....my mind is like jello these days. Hope that comes back after the pregnancy ends, otherwise I am in trouble!
