Hello Readers!
What a great day last Sunday was-our cousin Kelly & aunt Jane threw such a fun Baby Shower for us!! The shower took place by their pool and the weather couldn't have been more perfect. Lots of our family and family-friends were in attendance and we had a great time playing games & eating yummy food from my favorite tea room! We got some much needed items from our registry as well as a group gift- money to put towards our Baby furniture!!! Daddy Brian, Grandpa Bill, Uncle Billy, & Grampy Sam showed up towards the end to enjoy food and dessert with all of us. Overall, it was just a very awesome day!! Bexleigh is very loved already :)

I am 34 weeks 2 days along and starting to feel that the end couldn't come fast enough. My pelvis has been giving me some pretty rough fits for about a week now and there isn't really anything that makes me feel better. We had our 2nd birthing class tonight and I did find some relief in the yoga ball, so I plan to get one of those asap to get me through these last few weeks. I'm still having lots of sleepless nights, but somehow seem to slip into a nice sleep from about 6am until about 9:30am. My work days have basically been starting at about 11am! Brian has been extra great lately massaging my back and hips when needed. We learned some new massage/relaxation techniques tonight in class that hopefully will come in handy from now until Bexleigh comes! I also learned tonight a lot more about contractions and the actual labor process and I'm HOPING to be able to try to get along a good bit before asking for the epidural. NO, I'm not trying to do this naturally, but I do want to see how far I can get without it, which is very different from my thoughts before this point. Before tonight, I wanted the epidural like, maybe, next week?!? LOL Anyways, I feel a little more brave than I did before, which is a plus.
34 weeks 2 days
Tomorrow our furniture and bedding are finally coming and I couldn't be MORE E X C I T E D!!!! I just want to be able to walk in Bexleigh's room and know that she will soon be sleeping in there :) I will post pictures as soon as I get her room just the way I want it!!
This is going to be a bittersweet week for me. Although I'm super excited about the fun stuff that is getting accomplished in babyland this week, I am missing a very important event that I have waited a long time to be a part of. My best friend is getting married in California and I wanted nothing more than to stand up for her on the best day of her life. After discussions with our doctor and going back and forth in my heart, head & gut, we feel it would be the best decision to not travel that far of a distance to avoid any unwanted risks that could arise. I just wish it were as easy as it sounds. I am happy knowing that I got to see everything in the planning process and I know her day is going to be amazingly beautiful...I'll just have to wait for the video and pictures to experience it all. Cheers and best wishes to my Boo & Matty... I love ya to pieces and will be standing up for you on your special day....only in a different state, that's all. And don't worry, I'm taking Bexleigh's "Time out Spot" mat to the hospital with me and as soon as they scrub her up, she will be placed on it ;)
We Love you Holly & Matt!
