Hello everyone. I have been pretty MIA this week. As you know, I am at the VERY end of my pregnancy and I was at the hospital twice at the beginning of the week. She pretended she was ready to come, but did not. Even though I got very excited at the thought of her coming early, I am glad she didn’t. I want her to be the healthiest she can be and coming early won’t allow for that.
Another side note: I went to the doctor last week and they told me that my daughter already weighs 8 lbs 15 oz at 37 weeks!!!! O_o Then when they did more measurements a few days later at the hospital it showed that Raegan weights only 8 lbs 8 oz and that was at 38 weeks. So, if you are pregnant or plan to be don’t put 100% faith into the sonogram machines because they aren’t always accurate. I know that my daughter will be pretty big though, because my son was 10 lbs 4 oz when he was born. I went into the pregnancy knowing what was happening. :) I will be having a repeat cesarian, so the healing time is going to be a little lengthy…
I wanted to show you some pictures from my baby shower that took place around a month ago. My friend made me the most adorable diaper cake that looks like a 4-wheeler. She used larger diapers so that I could keep the cute cake intact for a while. She did a great job, didn’t she?
The cake was gorgeous. It had the most amazing tasting fondant ever… I have never caught myself nibbling on fondant but this stuff was just great. I know that the cake artist I hired actually makes her own from scratch so I am sure that is why. The cake on the inside was actually a strawberry cake with fresh strawberries mixed in. IT WAS DELICIOUS! I ordered a HUGE cake and not even half got eaten even after I sent home pounds and pounds of cake with my guests. I finally decided I was going to hurt myself if I didn’t toss it out, and I really didn’t want to. I wanted to keep it so bad!!!
My punch bowl also doubles as a cake plate depending on how you have the separate pieces sitting on each other. I love that the base has dividers so I cut up some fresh fruit and placed it around the base. I know this is a random picture of food and drink but it is 1:30 am and I am getting hungry and can’t sleep. :)
Anyway, I just wanted to share some personal moments with you to help you understand why my reviews/rambles haven’t been as often as usual. I am preparing for a special day and afterwards I will be healing. I know I will be super tired after Raegan’s arrival, so please don’t give up on me. I do plan to post just not as frequently for a while.
The picture above is me and a few of my guests. You can see my REALLY ROUND belly in the background! My sonogram tech told me the other day that she is amazed at my belly. I am a total of 5’1” (I lie on my driver’s license and say 5’2”) and my belly is a solid 40+ lbs of baby and afterbirth. She was kind enough to tell me my belly was beautiful but I am so miserable at this point I really don’t believe her. I bet she says it to all the moms. :) Anyway! Thanks for reading this extremely unplanned ramble. I hope that it makes sense for you!!!
