This week has been consumed by more
dejunking and "nesting". We went to a an Infant Safety CPR class, which was good and a little funny. Our practice doll only had one arm and a very creepy face. But really who knew there were so many steps to properly install a
car seat? Time consuming. We saw to the new Harry Potter movie on Thursday. It was good, not my favorite but good. Friday Matt made me watch the Invasion. This is the remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I hate scary movies. We are stuffing in as many movies as we can into our schedules before the baby comes. Saturday my neighbor
Stefany hosted a baby shower for me with all our neighbors and few of my friends from church. It was
soooo much fun! I got some really cute clothes and lots of practical items as well. I swear I have the best neighbors alive! Thank you thank you thank you! They are so fun to be around and chit chat with. And of course there was amazing food and treats. Matt was an angel and swept and mopped the floors for me, and
vacuumed the house while I was gone. I know I say it all the time, but he really is the best. Don't worry I'll post more pics of the shower once I get them from
Stef.

Homemade cake, gorgeous!

Blue chocolate covered strawberries, yum.

Me with pretty cake

The spread

I don't know why I look like I'm grimacing in this pic, but this was the coolest milestone calendar I have ever seen.

More gifts

Instead of wasting time and energy on decorations that get thrown away,
Stefany and
Christy put little buckets of baby stuff around the room that I got to take home with me, very thoughtful and cute.

And now the baby room looks like this! Packed with goodies for the little one.
Baby Sunday: 36 weeksHere's a little snippet of the peanut in action. He got
camera shy once I started filming, but you can see my belly move in the first 15 seconds.
Obsessions/Rampages: Now I can fully concentrate on getting everything done with the baby room since I've had my last baby shower. I've got oodles of stuff to organize and sort through. I'm pretty much in full "nesting" mode now. That is all I can think about. I start my weekly appointments with my doctor this week so I'm very anxious to see how big the baby is and how my body is progressing. Matt and I are still negotiating on a name, we'll see who wins :)
Elations/Worries: Elated to meet this little boy! I can't wait to wrap him up into a little burrito and snuggle with him. Worries- I had a serious bout of indigestion, stomach ache etc.. all last night. I'm staying home from church today just
in case I have to puke or something. I think I may have been a little overzealous with all the yummy food at the baby shower yesterday and now I'm paying for it. Oh but I must say it was worth it, so
delish.
Aversions/Cravings: On the menu this week: Rolaids Soft Chews-Wild Cherry Flavor. The following gives me heartburn: food :). My food habits have become reminiscent of my 1st trimester. Cereal, fruit, plain salads, potatoes. Except now I can barely finish a bowl of cereal without feeling like I'm going to burst. Very odd, it all just happened in the last couple of days too.

I got all choked up seeing Matt's slipper socks and the blue jammies I made for him in the picture of the nursery. And those little blue shorts with the thin, red stripe and elastic waist---originally, they were Tom's then they passed through Jon, Mark, and Matt. They will soon qualify as an antique. Don't ever throw them away!!
Loved the moving belly video. I saw him "roll" across your stomach.
my...I blew the picture up so I could get a better look at the bedding and the first thing I see are those dinosaur foot print slippers. I CANNOT believe mom still had those after all this time. Classic. Cute bedding, love you guys.
Wow Megan! Your stomach is getting so big! That brings back lots of memories! You are still the funniest girl on the planet... and I'm so glad you have such great neighbors who look after you. Matt is a GREAT guy..which goes right along wtih your childhood cheer "Feelin' Great!"
Don't you dare have that baby until I get there... I'm so excited!
