Yawn!!!

I know it has been a while since I have blogged but I haven't even had time to clean my house lately. My life has been hectic with traveling and getting the rest of Madeline's things. I don't think I know anyone that has ever been as prepared as us to have a baby. Good Grief!! Sleep or lack thereof has become a major issue. My belly is so huge that it is hard to roll over or get out of the bed, I have the worst acid reflux, I am hot, and just can't sleep. So now that you all know and I have complained a little...please pray for me as I try to get through these next 6 weeks! On the brighter side, the nursery is complete! Seth has to hang one painting and screw in the awesome drawer pulls I found at Anthropologie for the window seat storage!! Pictures will be up tomorrow. Until manana...tootles!

Madeline's Mobile Shower

I hope you are all having a great start to this week. I certainly have! My mother came into town Friday night to attend my baby shower Saturday and we had so much fun visiting and getting things prepared for Madeline's arrival. We even went to Baby's R Us and Target Sunday afternoon and stocked up on everything else we would possibly need to get us started.....it took 5 hours!!

The shower was beautiful and to have so many good friends is such a blessing. My sweet peeps had the shower at one of my favorite restaurants downtown called Cafe 215. They had a delicious spread for lunch, gorgeous baby pink rose sprays on all the tables any surface imaginable, and the most devine petite fores from The Pastry Shop.

The Big Date

The last doctor's visit we discussed the delivery date and since Dr. Helen is going to New Orleans the week of my due date she set up an induction date of Friday, October 9th. This was exactly what I was hoping for. This is so redneck sounding but both Auburn and Alabama have away games that weekend, our family will be prepared and she will be born before our wedding anniversary!! I couldn't be happier!

Greensboro Shower

Kristy, Lindsey, Me, Laurie Beth, and Rebecca

I really have some special girlfriends and they put together a really lovely baby shower for Madeline and me this past Sunday! Alot of friends and family attended...even a couple of friends came all the way from Huntsville! We got a great mixture of cute, fun things and items we will need for everyday use!! Thank you again, family and friends!! We love you!! Tootles!!

So I Ramble..but That is Just Me!!

My Mama is always very truthful and shoots it to me straight so when I asked her about my blog she said, "Well, Jane, you are very detailed and tell all!!" So to all of my readers....I appreciate feedback whatever it may be and I will try to keep things a little more to the point with more pictures!! After all, don't we all just like to look at the pictures??!! Tootles!!

A Little Scare

So I am on my 4th day of back pain yesterday and it got to be so extreme that I had to put a call into my doctor's office. They told me it could be a number of things but to take two extra strength Tylenol, drink a large glass of water and lay in the bed. She told me that if the pain hadn't subsided that I needed to go ahead and go to Labor and Delivery. Luckily my hospital is exactly 4 minutes from our house because the pain did not let up and I started freaking out. The nurse advised me that it could be a bladder infection, back labor(Braxton Hicks Contractions) or more Round Ligament Pains. Seth admitted me into the hospital and they were super quick to get me strapped into all the necessary machines and take their tests. Thankfully Madeline was still super active and moving all about with a great heartbeat so she was not at all affected. I wasn't having contractions, although I have had a few random ones at the house, and so we just had to wait to see if it could be a bladder infection. AND it was with a little dehydration!! I have never been so happy to hear that but I never imagined it could hurt so bad and be such a scary thing. I am thrilled to tell you that I am on prescription medication and drinking an absurd amount of water....Seth is making sure of that!! So...all you expecting mothers, drink your weight in water!! The pain should be gone just in time to enjoy a Wigging Out birthday party tonight and Madeline's first baby shower tomorrow!! Tootles!
