Less Than Two Weeks

This last weekend was another action packed one!! I had a awesome baby shower at my mother-in-laws house. Friends that I have known for years from Salem and newer friends from Portland came over for a low key brunch. All I wanted was coffee, a cupcake, and relaxing conversation. I guess you can call me low-maintenance but I love simple and meaningful.

Now the pink tutu is for Reesa. My friend Kristin said it was important for the big sister to get something too. Do you think she's a big sister?! Also my mom flew up and "surprised" me for the weekend. She was so pleased to have kept the secret for over a month. Reesa had a blast with her Grandma Jenny. We went to the Zoo and just let the two of them have fun playing store, tea, and playdough.

So I now have less than two weeks left and I may eat my words; but I don't think this little guy is coming before or on his due date. I just can't picture it. The doctor I saw on Tuesday asked me what my ideal situation is once I pass my due date. I told her that I would like to have my husband take that Friday off and have an entire day just being a family of 3 one last time (no errands), head to the hospital on a Saturday or Monday depending how far I'm dilated (I would like to be at least 4), break my water (no pitocin) and just see what happens. She told me that would be ideal. Isn't that what she asked?!

Reesa and I are taking our days slowly and doing whatever we feel like with no agenda. Our weekends are usually packed so I try to take it slower during the week. We head to the library, stroll toy stores, or just go out for Jamba Juice. I try to scratch something small off my list each day. Today I got my ring polished for free!! It's so clean :) and we had Jamba for lunch.
