Baby Shower

33 weeks, almost 34, and boy oh boy I feel it!  I saw the doc Tuesday and all is well, I just feel tired when I get home from work and have some lower back pain at times.  Our little baby is pretty active, especially when I lay down to go to bed.  I am huge and can't imagine I will only get bigger.  Ugh.  I seem to be on the same track of weight gain as I was with Noah, about 30 pounds so far.  I have daily lightheadedness after breakfast, which the super nice nurse at my school told me is likely due to the blood rushing from my head to digest all the food.  She suggested eating BF in small increments in the morning to slowly ease into it... seems to have worked this weekend!  Phew, because that was like a month and a half of feeling dizzy daily.  Hopefully this will be the trick!

This Saturday my super awesome friend Wendy hosted a baby shower for me!  10 old and new friends, and my mom!, were there.  I am sooo grateful for this group (and the others who couldn't make it).  Such a great bunch!  It was a great party! :) :)

And we ended the day back at my house with my mom.  We got to Skype the family back in NH!  There's my wonderful 99 year old Mem (my Great Grandmother), Mykey (my Godfather), Memere (my grandmother), Pepere (my grandfather), and in the front is Butch (my great uncle). My Mem has been in and out of the hospital these last few weeks, but is home now feeling better.  Please keep her and my family in your thoughts and prayers.  She is such a special, kind, incredibly wonderful woman.  I love you, Mem!  I can't fly now to come see you because I am too pregnant, but we will be there in August.  We'll see you then!
