Baby Shower Feb 19, 2011

My sister and mother hosted a baby shower for Charley and I in Augusta, GA on Feb. 19, 2011. My mom had everything catered and the food was delicious. My sister hosted and did all the games and brought such a fun atmosphere to all the friends that were there...we had an amazing time. Everyone but two people showed up and I had the most amazing time. It was a time to not worry, be emotional, but just be happy and live for the moment for my little girl and I.

Charley will be amazed of how many people really love her. She had so many gifts and blessings at the shower, it completely amazed me.

Charley received so many clothes, shoes, toiletries, pack and play, bath spa, wipe warmers, stuffed animals, gift cards, activity sets, diapers, diaper genie, and wipes. There was so much more but those are the few I can remember.

Below are the pics posted below of the shower:

Sunday...Valentine's Day Weekend

It's Valentine's Day weekend and I've been sitting in the house not doing much of anything. Why?? because there is nothing to do besides school work. I have to get all this work done asap because it drives me crazy now...I don't have the patience to do it anymore because I just want to be done. I did go to dinner with a friend and it was great getting out of the house. 3 more classes and I am finished with my MBA. So glad.
Anyways....

Mommy feels you growing week Charley. You are kicking and moving like never before. It amazes me how you fit in there and just moving all around. I see your little kicks and movements through my shirts, I LOVE IT.

I got some great maternity shirts the other day and it felt great knowing that no one else has to tell you that your clothes are too small because that really did hurt my feelings. They are adorable. Also, Robyn got me two great maternity shirts as gifts which was great too.

My appointments are now every two weeks and I can't wait to hear your heartbeat next week. Also, the baby shower is next weekend. Yay. I cannot wait to see my family and friends. Being here makes me miserable.

I can't wait to be surrounded by positive energy and then head back home and do school work all over again. hahaha.

Anyways, HAPPY VALENTINE'S WEEKEND SWEETIE. MOMMY LOVES YOU.

When you realize....

Just when you realize you couldn't do it on your own, you've proven yourself wrong. I am not sure if it's just the hormones but right now I just want to be left alone, and just do things on my own. You have to figure you went this long without needing help then what changes? Nothing. Going to school and almost finished. I cannot wait. I also cannot wait until my Charley Olivia gets here so I can be the best mommy ever to her. Then off to work I go. I cannot wait to start work again but I am terrified of putting my little one in the hands of others. Ugh. The bassinet is up and I will begin to wash her clothes, well some because we don't know how big she will be and I could take some things back. I already packed my bag and all ready to have her even though I have two months to go. I am so anxious. She is kicking away and it excites me. I will be getting a 4D Ultrasound and I can't wait to see what my little bean looks like, hopefully she looks just like mommy but from the last hospital u/s she looked a little like her daddy. I cannot wait to hold my baby. But as I stated, I've come to realize that people will walk in and out of your life. When you go through a life changing experience, you realize the people that are really meant to be there and those that aren't meant to be there.
My baby girl makes me happy. Knowing she is coming soon will make me even happier.

So much happened in the month of Jan...

I went to the hospital twice, put on steroids, bed rest, catheder, percocet, contractions, and the list goes on.
Charley was ready to come out. Doc gave me steroids to stop the contractions. I am also on pelvic rest...you know what that means. I must drink water, water, water.
Today I had my glucose test, I failed. Now I must go back on Tuesday and take the 3-hour test. Blah....Doc also put me on a diet. :0( He said I gained 7lbs within 1.5 weeks...I stated " Doc, I was on steroids." He then said, "Oh, I forgot. But still we need to put you on a diet." lol. So no more fried foods, fruit, sodium, or takeout :0(
I am currently at home with my feet up watching television. School is almost complete and I cannot wait. I have another A and next class starts on Monday. Ugh! Cannot wait.

Since I haven't posted in forever....attached are some pics of 27 weeks and 28 weeks.
