Week 18: So Excited!

          Yes I'm slacking and I know it lol! Not much has been going on the last few weeks. Work, work, work! I don't mind it too much. keeps my mind off of how many days are left till I meet my little one. Which is only 153 by the way! I am really excited this week because for the first time someone that I don't know has actually noticed that I am pregnant.

          I'm sure I am going to hate it later when everyone notices and are all trying to touch and feel and give me advice... but I'll just savor this moment. It means I am actually getting big enough that I look pregnant and not fat lol! He was an older gentleman, a customer and on his way out the door he said " Good luck with the new baby!" I was a bit shocked and uttered out a thanks. He looked like he needed reassurance just in case he might of just called me fat! Nevertheless I was ecstatic.

          I just ordered the crib, changing table and dresser yesterday. I am so excited about it. The set should be here tomorrow or the next day. It's a really cute set expresso colored and just about matches our bedroom set in color and style so the house can be in unison :) My mom is going to be making the bedding as soon as we find out if it is a boy or a girl. We can pick out the fabric and she can go to town on it lol.

          So everything is starting to come together a little bit. I am going to call the hospital next week to see about their birthing classes. I really can't wait to take it. As a first time mother I feel this is very important step to preparing for the baby's arrival. I want to be as prepared as possible. I also really want to tour the birthing center as well so that's all part of it. The birthing center looks very nice from what I've seen online and am actually excited to spend a couple of days there.

          Only 4 more days until I find out it is a boy or a girl. I really want to have a girl but a boy would be just fine too. My husband and I both think it is a girl but my dad is convinced it is a boy. He said the picture we have of the baby at 13 weeks looks like a boys profile lol. We will see though I am about to start a pool at work :P I don't know how I'm going to get through this weekend, I'm just so excited need to keep myself busy, busy, busy! I'll update you all Monday!
