On Saturday, Damian and his mom threw me a baby shower! It was awesome and so very nice of them to do. We ended up unable to have one with Isabel, so it was nice to be able to celebrate the impending birth of this babe with so many family and friends. And, of course, we picked an awful Saturday, weather wise, to have it, so I am so grateful for the people that braved the snow to come!
There was plenty of food, we had 2 games, neither of which involved baby food or diapers! And we received so many thoughtful and lovely gifts.
Damian totally put so much time and effort into this, I am so grateful for a husband who is willing to do something outside of a traditional gender role. This would not have happened without him! He also provided babysitting services during the shower so all the kids were occupied and not running around crazy. I totally am in love with this man!!!
So, now I just need a few more things (mostly a diaper bag!) and I am ready! I still have a ton of laundry to do, but I'm not too worried about that. I am officially a stay at home mom now (for a few months at least, hopefully longer!) so I feel like I have lots of time on my hands now!
And, at my doctor's appointment this past week, I was told I am 2 cm dilated, and Cael is at 0 station (head down as low as it can get right now). So, there was a little bit of optimism for me! I am so ready! Hopefully, this week or the next, Cael will decide to make his entrance. We're really hoping for this week, though, because Damian doesn't have any papers due in school, they're due the next week, so missing class would be bad. My ideal date is Friday, the 23rd, so if anyone wants to throw out labor vibes to me, that is the day we're hoping and praying for!
And I promise pictures to be added at some point!
