AMAZING!

I had an OB appointment yesterday... nothing too exciting. Elias is doing well; his heartbeat is great! I still get butterflies when I hear it. Joey couldn't come along because of work and a part of me wish he had been there to keep me company since I had to wait 2 hours because my doc got called to deliver another baby right as she was about to see me.

Now it's just a matter of waiting. I am so anxious to see my baby boy that I quite often find myself googling pictures of babies at 34 weeks... it's amazing how much they develop in only a matter of weeks... take a look.

Baby at 34 weeks


In 6 short weeks, Elias will be with us and the anxiety of holding him in my arms is killing me! Joey and I talk about it all the time... we look back at the day we found out it was a boy, thinking to ourselves "Are you sure?" because we thought we were having a girl... LOL. We got so carried away with all the myths and calendars you find on the internet, that we had made up our minds that it was a girl. Ironically, we were having a boy... so a little word of advice for all expectant couples out there... don't believe everything you hear!

Well until next time...

Childbirth class... Baby Shower... so much fun!

Weekend recap...

... Friday: Hung out with family... Sarah and Daniel were in town and it was my mother-in-laws birthday so we were invited over for pizza and cake. Good times!

... Saturday: A very long day of childbirth class at Woman's Hospital.... we learned about stages of pregnancy and labor, learned about some things that almost made us throw up... (LOL, we weren't prepared) and practiced some very useful breathing techniques. The class and hospital tour definitely helped ease the anxiety of labor and delivery... almost here!

... Sunday: 2nd Baby Shower... Thank you to everyone who came out to the shower... we are so grateful for great family and friends! Special thanks to my mom and sisters, Angelita, Becky, Dorothy, Vanessa, Anna, Julie, Moni, and Sheri. Ohh, let me not forget the men who helped setup and cleanup.


Enjoy the pictures...
