Baby Shower

I'm almost a month late on updating about my baby shower, but better late than never! 

My friend hosted a nice, small, cherry blossom-themed baby shower for me on March 3 and it was a blast!  There was plenty of great food, fun games, and everyone had fun catching up and chatting.  We played a nursery rhyme trivia game and learned that none of us really know our nursery ryhmes as well as we thought...in fact, we gave hubby the same quiz later and he beat my score!  We also played a Mad Libs game which resulted in a story about me having a baby that weighed 82lbs and had 400 and something toes!  It's definitely a story I'm keeping in our baby book to look back on!  Our friends were beyond generous and got us some amazing gifts for Amelia.

  Since the shower, we have set the nursery up, washed baby clothes and bedding, and started to pack hospital bags.   This weekend I hit 36 weeks, so only one week until I am considered full term!  Amelia has recently discovered my ribs and won't leave them alone.  Mostly she just presses on them, but some mornings she chooses to wake me up with a nice, hard kick.  With less than a month until I'm due, we are getting more and more excited and definitely more and more nervous! 

I'll leave you all with a photo from my baby shower where I'm showing off one of the gifts that I got.
