34 Weeks

This week I had a shower with some extended family members known to us as "the Hills" I usually only get to see them once or twice a year so any extra visits are a wonderful bonus. One thing I noticed that was very neat was that most of the people at this shower were also present at my Mom's baby shower when I was born. I was early, therefore I got to be there too. I read this all in my baby memory book that my mom gave to me when I got married. This shower was held at my God Mother, Susan's house. It was lots of fun with a great mix of company. One of the games was pin the pacifier on the baby, it was very funny! Maddox got some wonderful gifts of course, including a bath tub, diaper bag, changing pad and cover, and lots of adorable clothes of course. My Mom gave me and old gift. It was a little porcelain music box clown thing. It was the last think my Grandmother ever gave me before she died when I was very little.

I did my first load, or should I say loads, of baby laundry this week. It was so fun folding all the little tiny clothes, and the socks are just adorable, nothing like folding Jay's laundry. I only washed all the clothes up to 6 months and it still took 3 loads. I think Maddox might have more clothes than me! Jay and I spent a lot of time in the nursery on Sunday. He hung up a bunch of shelves and we decided where all the canvases were going to go. Its starting to look really good. I will post pictures soon.

I had a doctor's appointment this week. I have gained 35 pounds so far, doctor says that is right on track. She said that the estimates Maddox to be about 3.5 pounds and at the time he was head down. Starting in 2 weeks she will start examining me for dilation and effacement. Its getting close now!
