36 Weeks!!

Yesterday I had my 36 week appointment!! I'm happy to report I am a whole 1/2 cm dilated!! Not much really, but it's a start! I really, really hope McKinley gets here early. I can't wait to meet her. My doctor guessed she is 5 pounds or so right now and will most likely be about 7 1/2 pounds when she is born which is about right considering Jodie and I were both 7 pounders. We went and toured Baylor Grapevine after our appointment. The labor and delivery ward is very nice and the nurses were super nice as well. I'm a little more relaxed because I know where everything is now. It's all a waiting game at this point, I have no idea when she will get here! For those of you that know me I'm a planner so not knowing is killing me! I just hope and pray for a safe, healthy and QUICK delivery though! :)
We traveled to San Antonio for my last baby shower this weekend. All I can say is WOW!! My family and friends are SO awesome! They definitely showered McKinley with many gifts! It was so great to see some of my high school friends and catch up with some other family friends and family members I haven't seen in awhile. I got a little emotional at the end of the shower. I can't put into words how much it means to me to have all of these wonderful people in my life. Kudos to my good friend Lisa, her Mom Bea and my sister on the shower, it was wonderful.
I was happy to see my parents and my brother and sister in law came down as well. It was a great weekend.
I will post pictures from the shower when I get them. Hope to have the nursery pretty much complete by this weekend......

Another Week Closer....

Well, I'm 34 weeks now!! I can't believe McKinley will be here in another month or so! I am definitely feeling the pregnancy now. Everything hurts, my feet, legs, knees, eyeballs!! I know it's all worth it though. I have been pretty lucky this pregnancy with not getting terribly sick. I've had a cold the past week that's really knocked me on my behind but beyond that things have been going great. McKinley is right on target for her size and the best the doctor can tell is head down. I'm anxiously waiting for her to "drop" so I can have a little more lung capacity!

Last Friday my co-workers had a baby shower for me. It was SO wonderful and they went out of their way to make it very, very special for me! The majority of our office is men and they all showed up and sat there through all the opening of presents. I'm really, really lucky to work with such a great group of people. I will definitely miss all of them when I'm on maternity leave! The biggest surprise was that all of the outside sales guys in the office went in together and got me the jogging stroller I wanted!! I did NOT expect this at all! Honestly I registered for it so I could get the discount at the very end because I did not think for one moment anyone would purchase this for us!! Needless to say I was very excited!! Here are some pictures from the event! Thanks again to everyone that made this so special!!
