Today is the start of week 31. Only nine weeks until the EDD. Yikes! It's time to get busy with the baby room. And less than two weeks until we open the envelope to learn the sex. I'm looking forward to that.
Yesterday was a work shower. It was really nice. I'm not all that comfortable being the center of attention at an event like that, but I had a great time. We got lots of super-cute clothes and blankets (rather than the practical stuff). There's also a family shower coming up when I'm home after Christmas.
"Getting closer" also refers to J and I. IF brought us closer, and now impending parenthood is doing so in a different direction. He's such a gem. It's been really sweet. I can't wait until we've both wrapped up our semesters!
Eeeee! You really are getting closer!!! Single digit weeks left to EDD, that is BIG!!!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about getting closer with the hubs. After 10 years and infertility I thought we were as CLOSE-AS-CAN-BE. But it's true, pregnancy adds new and amazing levels of closer that are so powerful and beautiful that it literally brings tears to my eyes. We are so blessed to be exactly where we are! xoxo
You are narrowing in on that date and I bet you can't wait to meet your son/daughter:) Good luck wrapping up the semester. Here's hoping you can tie up ALL loose ends, and leave it all behind as you concentrate on the first few months of motherhood.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for you to open that envelope! I still can't get over your self restraint! 9 more weeks to go! Glad you are feeling closer to the hubs, IF will challenge your relationship in a good way sometimes.
ReplyDeleteIt's fun and so rare that you get to the be the focus, so just relish and enjoy it...because soon all focus will go (happily!) toward the new center of your universe! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a really lovely time for you! I'm so glad you're enjoying!
ReplyDeletewishing you the very best of luck and everything else....
ReplyDeletethanks so much for your comments on my blog and CONGRATS to you! I am anxious to more fully catch up on your journey. Can't wait if you are team pink or team blue!!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for you! Opening that envelope is going to be so awesome! Enjoy your "at home" shower, I'm sure it'll be lots of fun. 31 weeks already...sheesh! You're almost there now :)
ReplyDeleteOnly 9 wks to go! Wow, you really are getting close!
ReplyDeleteOpening that envelope is going to be so exciting :).
I can't believe you've waited! That envelope would be killing me right now! Not that it matters which sex it is, but it is hard not to know. 9 weeks... so exciting!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're going to share the contents of that envelope with us too! 9 weeks - getting close!
ReplyDeleteThat envelope would definitely be non-stop on my mind if I were you. It's getting so close!
ReplyDeleteWoah, the time sure flies! But only for you, not for me. It sounds like an awfully happy time, and once those stupid semesters are over, even better.
