So much to talk about

Everyone at the shower!

My beautiful, wonderful, yummy cake :)

Me with the hostesses (Nina, Stephanie & Beky) They did an amazing job!


Well, we had our last childbirth class, baby shower and a doctor's appointment since I last updated. I can't believe I haven't kept this updated :) First things first. Our last childbirth class was really good. A pediatrician came and talked with us about all of the things to expect when we bring Brooke home. I feel very confident in now ;) I'm really glad we decided to take these classes. I think they were a big help and gave us a lot of information on what to expect on the big day!! I had my baby shower Saturday August 8th!! It was hosted by my wonderful aunt's Beky, Nina & Stephanie. They did such an amazing job! Everything was beautiful and so much fun!! Thanks to everyone who came out and made this day very special for me!! I will never forget it!! If you were at my shower, please don't forget to send me Brooke's letter :) I have to get all of the pictures from Nicole & I will make a slideshow and post them. Until then, here are a few that I have!!
Lastly, we had a doctor's appointment last Thursday the 13th. This was my first 2 week appointment. I gained one pound in two weeks! Can you tell I cut out the donuts?!? Brooke is growing and I am healthy. It was about a 5 minute visit and she said see ya in two weeks!! I tried to have her put me on bed rest, but she wouldn't have it!! hehe There were a few things I was concerned about. I have this really sharp pain that shoots down the front of my leg. I will be walking or standing with pressure on it and it will just give out on me. Not fun! She said it is normal and Brooke is just sitting on some nerves!! The other thing I was concerned about were my contractions. I had been having them really often, but she said 6 or more in an hour then I need to go to L&D. I think I was getting them so much because I wasn't staying hydrated like I should. It's hard to drink 8 glasses of water a day :) I really have to get better at this because I am going back to the doctor today because I think I could possibly have a bladder infection. We will see what she says. Other than that, my next appointment is Thursday the 27th & then I start going every week! I can't believe it is almost time!! I have my work baby shower this Thursday & Tony's coworkers are throwing him a shower next month!! We have so much stuff for Brooke. I can't wait until we have a house and she has her own room!!! Also, they have moved me up to 40 hours a week at work. It is good to have the extra money, but very tiring too.
