OMG I can't believe I have 5 weeks to go! I felt like October has sounded so far away for so long that I just had it in my mind that it is still far away. And it definitely is not.
So besides my 35 day countdown...I got pictures back from my shower. I just have to say THANK YOU!!!!!! to everyone that decorated, cooked, cleaned, and whatever else happened! I have a few pictures to share but I realize I was a bad guest-of-honor and didn't get my picture taken with everyone that came out....sorry guys and gals! Blame pregnancy brain! On with the pics!

Total weight gain: 36lbs...looks like I'm gaining weight in spurts. Hope I can keep it under 40!!!!!
Maternity clothes? I'm not even worrying about being creative with my outfits anymore. I rotate between a pair of khakis and black work pants. I tried a dress this Monday and had so much chub rub on my Family Dollar orientation tour that I may never wear one again.
Stretch marks? Thought I found some more but they were just sleep marks...whew!
Sleep: Really tired but I force myself to stay up until 10pm otherwise I will wake up in the middle of the night and not be able to fall back asleep. I usually get a second wind around 7:30pm so it works out.
Best moment this week: BABY SHOWER!! Lauren, Sarah, and Patsy did an awesome job. I can't thank them enough!
Miss Anything: I miss my close parking lot at my old job. I forgot how miserable the Family Dollar parking lot is in the summer. Luckily my boss gave me her really sweet spot once this week and I snuck in some visitor parking!!
Movement: Jameson had a slow day on Tuesday that had me freaking out all day but I did my kick counter and it said she had enough movement so I tried not to think about it. Normally Jameson wakes up before me and starts doing small kicks as she's waking up. I usually start my day in bed saying, "good morning Jameson!" and then I go back to sleep for another hour...but on Wednesday I wanted to make sure she was still okay so I woke up before her and offered some good morning-belly shaking! She responded with a slow nudge and then was going nuts by breakfast time. She had a big couple of days so I told Will she must have taken a "Michael day" on Tuesday......just napping the day away! She's probably part cat.
Food cravings: I've had a cupcake (or 2) every day since Saturday. I can't stop.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really! I can eat pretty much anything but chicken wings still! I'm still getting reflux though but not nearly as bad as it has been.
Gender: Total baby diva!
Symptoms: Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiired! And my thunder-thigh chub rub....
Also I think she must have dropped a couple of weeks ago because I can breathe so much easier. I am also had much more pressure on my bladder too! Now I get why they call it lightening though...I really do feel less huge now that she is in a different position!
Happy or Moody most of the time: Now that my shower has come and gone I am totally more relaxed! I had myself all worked up trying to get the house ready and now I'm ready to just sit and wait for baby to come! Not to mention I had a prenatal massage on Satruday (Thanks Patti!)....I have wanted one every day since then. I think I will do one next weekend....if not sooner!!!
