Here's to another week down!

We are working our way towards meeting this little baby! I have to "take it easy" for one more week and then the doctor said we are in the safe zone and we can meet baby anytime after that. The goal is to keep baby cooking through my baby shower on Nov 19th, then it is welcome to enter this world! Baby has been moving around like crazy, but it doesn't like being touched or provoked, it instantly stops moving. Every night I am still contracting but they eventually dissipate, however I have been having them in the early morning hours now too which is an addition. But we are working our way through it and we will make it through this last week!

Yesterday and today I do have a new pregnancy symptom, sausage feet and sausage toes! They are U-G-L-Y! But I am glad they waited this long to arrive as many people get this symptom much sooner in pregnancy.

We have been receiving baby gifts galore! My dining room is filling up with gifts being sent to us. Plus I had a little baby shower at work and everyone was very generous! Every little bit counts and this baby is very well loved! I don't know what I am going to do with all of the SCHTUFF!

Plus we booked a cruise for December 2012! I was lucky enough to hit a sales goal at work and win a cruise! We are cruising out of LA to Cabo and Puerto Vallarta in December 2012, hopefully celebrating baby's 1st birthday on the ship! I can't wait, I have dreams of oceanside cocktails and fine dining, beaches and sun dancing in my head!

Work has been very slow this fall, which is a little unexpected. Since I am on commission I am really hoping to get a few more contracts before baby arrives and my outlook is pretty strong on this one! But it isn't looking too promising! I am hoping baby holds out to the beginning of December but we will see!

Next week I should have some new pics! We had our maternity pics done, which was FUN! And then it is my baby shower so I will have some pics from that also. More of that baby SCHTUFF on its way to my house! Oh and we also bought new living room furniture, so I should take a few pics of that also!
