The Last Leg...

Rate this Entry
Saturday's baby shower was a success. Mina's got all the clothes she'll need in the first year and, although the party started at 2:00pm, it didn't clear out until about 10:00pm. No stupid games or tacky thanks-for-showing-up gifts and Jessica was even able to keep the decorations to a minimum. Now, THAT'S what I call a baby shower. The weather turned out beautifully and everyone had a pretty fantastic time.

Here's my cake:



Mina's Godfather, Casey, being a very good daddy (blowing up some bouncy toy for the chilluns)... cracks me up:



And me digging into the ample presents (I've gained weight AND I'm swollen - it's awesome). From L to R - Olivia, Bryan, Q, Vic holding Brooke and Moi:



So, okay, we're ready...

Is she here yet?

This last month or so is going to be excrutiating. I hate waiting, and I don't feel like I have enough to keep me busy and distracted. Because of the gestational diabetes, I have to be monitored weekly, now, and I get another ultrasound this week (that's exciting), but I'll still have plenty of downtime.

Only 5 full weeks to go, though! (Assuming they don't induce me early.)

    Congrats, Athena. In my last month I was so ready to get my kid out that I would go to the hosiptal for any lil thing. I thought I could out smart the nurses and doctors with fake labor pains...what a moron I was. The nurses were so fed up with seeing me, that one of them said that if I showed up again, she would pop my water bag...I did, and she popped it, lol. No lie....Boy I was not ready for what came after that....

    Congratulations again to you and Mike.

    Congrats, Athena! I love Mina's name! My youngest was delivered 5 weeks early, so rest up now. I am sending warm thoughts of a swift and smooth labor.

    Love the cake, and love the name.

    You will love the experience. Congratulations again!

    You should get a prize, Broken. Mike's last name is Harper.

    Hey... I thought it was clever. Couldn't convince him to go with the full "Wilhelmina", but that's okay. Maybe we'll go with "Jonathan" if we have a boy in the future. Is a theme still tacky if the theme is Dracula?

    Thanks for the kind words, gals. :)

    It's quite cute. The theme only spirals into tackiness if you do something like name a boy "Drake" for a first name and "Luca" for a middle. :P
