Our Cake

This past week was very busy! Saturday night at our family reunion, we were thrown a suprise baby shower. It was so sweet and we were so excited to get more things for Savannah. On Monday my work threw me a shower. I love the people I work with and they really blessed Savannah and I. After an extremely busy week at work, I had a doctor's apt. on Friday. Robert went with me because he had to get a flu shot. :) He blamed not feeling well later on the flu shot. He can be such a baby sometimes. Dr. Landis said I was measuring well and her heartbeat was in the 140s. In total, I have gained 33 pounds. I need to chill out on eating I guess. Next Friday, Dr. Landis is going to check me and scrape my membranes to help start the contractions. I've been having small contractions, but nothing major. I'm ready to meet Miss Savannah and so is Robert!

Our cake at the church baby shower. Delicious!

This week we had two baby showers. Our first one was with the church. All I can say is that I love our church family. We got so many awesome things and baby is now prepared. We were able to get her stroller and pack n play Sunday after the shower. Savannah got lots of books and baby necessities! I enjoy baby showers because I get to play with all of her stuff as I put it away. The next shower was with Robert*s work. That was a lot of fun. Lots of great advice was given and some amazing gifts! All I can say is Robert is loved at work. I can*t forget the amazing food too! I also went to the doctor Tuesday morning. I*ve gained 30 pounds all together. Not too bad. I measured where I needed to be and her heartbeat was around the 140s. My cervix wasn*t open, but the doctor said he could feel her head and that she was really low. So, we*ll see what happens at my next doctors apt. next Friday. We also have two more baby showers coming up. I can*t believe all of the love this little girl is already getting!

Baby Classes

Childbirth classes were very interesting and scary. Friday night, I was terrified! Saturday was better. I learned everything I need to know about labor and delivery. Savannah has to come out, so I guess now i*m more prepared. I don*t know if I want an epidural, I think I want to see how it goes. Everyone keeps saying to get the epidural, so we*ll see what happens. Robert and I learned massage techniques to help labor go smoother. Robert got an awesome back massage, I didn*t. He wanted to play around. I think when it comes to the actual time, it will be better. Monday night I went to breastfeeding classes. It was also very interesting and stressful. I feel like a lot of pressure is put on a woman to breastfeed and once I go back to work, I don*t know how everything is going to work out with pumping. It will be a tough decision to make once Savannah is here. I also know that I have Robert*s support on whatever happens. He asked me last night when we can start with a bottle, whether breastfeeding or formula so he can help. He*s such an awesome man! Wednesday night was infant cpr and caring for your baby. This was the most fun class. I hope I never have to use infant cpr on Savannah, but now i*m prepared. The classes made me ready to meet Savannah even more. I can*t wait to meet her and be her mommy!

In Rebecca*s apartment, ready to go to the reunion.

This week was a lot of fun! Robert started softball Tuesday night and it was a rough start, but look forward to next Tuesday. He*ll do much better! Friday night was my 10 year high school reunion. We went to dinner with one of my bff*s Jessica and her fiance Roger at Rock Bottom. We then went to the Holiday Inn in downtown. It was fun meeting up with old friends and riding the light rail into the city. We left a little early though b/c Saturday we drove to Raleigh and went to the NC State vs. Western Carolina football game. We won!!!!! I miss Robert*s friends from State all the time, so it was fun to spend time with them. Savannah enjoyed her first NC State football game and tailgate party. Sunday we spent the day on the lake with my sister in law and father in law. We always have fun with them and eat good too! I am sick this week though with what I think is a sinus infection. NO FUN! Friday will start another busy weekend and week for use. We have our childbirth classes at the hospital and two baby showers. I can*t wait!
