5...

5 more weeks until the peanut makes her debut! My last shower was Saturday and her room officially looks like a Babies R Us store room. We are having an organizing party on Saturday to make some space for her, because as of now, there is no space. We're very lucky to have so many folks who care about us! My best friend from Florida flew in Thursday and it was great to spend some time with her before the shower Saturday. Her munchkins will have a new cousin soon and I think she is just as excited as we are.

The back aches have returned in full force. I seriously contemplated getting a pedicure the other day just to sit in one of the massage chairs. I haven't ruled that out yet... Sleep is still hard to come by so if she doesn't like sleep, at least I'll be prepared. I'm getting bigger and bigger by the day. My cousin, innocently enough, asked me Friday why my face was so swollen. I told my mom to take him aside and tell him that's not the most appropriate question to ask someone pushing 9 months pregnant. Thankfully the swelling comes and goes and isn't just a constant.

Another week has gone by and we're anxiously awaiting the arrival of the peanut!
