35 Weeks

I had my last shower this week. It was at Momma B's house and it was hosted by her and my mom (Nana). My mom, bless her heart, was sick as a dog and she was still able to prepare all kinds of wonderful food. She made sure there was plently of stuff that I liked. I am a very picky eater, so I love when she is in charge food cause she knows all the yummy stuff I love. It was a great turn out. Lots of people from Jay's family and most of of my family friends came. Instead of a cake we had this big cookie sandwich thing, it was sooooo good, I swear I could eat it everyday. Tanya had prepared lots of really fun games. Everyone was given a piece of playdo and they had to make something to do with a baby out of it. It was really fun seeing what people came up with. We also played guess that celebrity baby, guess how much money was in the bottle piggy bank, the don 't cross your legs clothes pin game, and she even had these little baby bibs there that people could design themselves. Some of the gift highlights included a really cool diaper cake from my best friend Ehryn, (she is so creative), the entire bedding set came from Mamma B and Jay's sister Tisha, a really soft blanket with Maddox's name embroidered on it, a bouncy seat, and Jay's favorite....Maddox's first Bengal's hat. Thanks to a diaper raffle we also came home with a few hundred diapers too. That was great!!!!

Grammy (Mamma B) was very busy this week, and not just with the shower. She finished the nursery at her house and it is beautiful!!! She has been collecting Boyds's Bears for years and now she finally has them on display. She will be watching Maddox everyday when I go back to work, therefore she has to get almost as prepared as I do. Her nursery looks so cute, now Maddox will get to see monkeys at our house and bears at hers.

Maddox has been very active late at night lately. The other night I swear he was playing monkey bars with my rib cage. I could not get back to sleep to save my life. None of my usual tricks like turning over or a quick trip to the bathroom would work to get him back to sleep. I actually had to walk up and down the hallway to get him to calm down. Jay thought it was just hilarious. I am starting to get used to it but it just blows my mind that he can actually wake me up from a deep sleep with his kicks. Maybe he really is going to be the great little football player we are hoping for. I have a doctor's appointment next week, she is going to start examining me weekly now....its getting close!!
