Update

Ok so that last blog was so premature! Right after I typed that I was feeling better, I was starting to feel even worse...and I finally went to the midwife on monday and let them know what was going on and how I was feeling with my whole stomach bug sickness whatever. Met a new midwife or nurse and she was super nice and knowledgable, she seems more of the medical type than the hippie whatever type. Dont get me wrong, I like both approches, but she kinda caught me off guard. Basically said that the further I am along the worse any little issue is going to be, thus explaining the violence of my projectile vomiting and why I couldn't feel better for so long. I still seem to be having some issues here and there but I guess its just my whole intestinal/reproductive system acting up and getting ready for the end. Speaking of which, I am now 33 weeks and I still have to go back to look at a calendar and count the weeks. Which is def not what you do with your first child when you have the time of conception down to the seconds. Other than the stomach issues, lack of sleep, occasional heartburn, extreme exhaustion from trying to keep up with S and basically all the other crap that happens; I'm fairly OK. Baby thinks there is a party all day long but seems to be actually sleeping at night which is weird. Im still waking up btwn 3 and 4 am and not being able to go back to sleep...hence the reason why I'm typing this now.

On to the business of the baby shower. My mother "planned" my baby shower which basically means she will cook the food and have it at her house but I had to made and send out the invites and get the list ready and make the favors. So I'm doing my own baby shower I guess. The theme is OWLS!!! I love owls, and S does too. Her room is owl themed and she has been a big help looking for things owl related that we can use to decorate. That has been hard since apparently there is nothing ANYWHERE in any craft store related to owls. I had to make my own invitations using owl stickers, which came out pretty adorable I think; I'll be printing out the thank you tags for the favors which I made myself since I couldn't find anything that looked like it. My mom had a good idea when we went to Ross and she saw these cute expresso cups to have those filled with candy and have them be the favors...that basically saved us a lot of trips to try to find anything else. Oh and apparently sorting out M&Ms by colors is priceless b/c the ones that come in one color cost about 10/lb?!!?! craziness I say. So we bought a bag and sorted them out ourselves. I also had the brilliant idea to have owl cake pops...saw a couple of blogs that showed how to make them and being that I am not crafty at all decided to ask someone else to do it for me. Hopefully they will not hate me afterwards.

Second order of business is S! She starts school on monday the 22nd and we went to the teacher meet and greet wed. I made sure I got there before it started that way 1) I could get out earlier, 2) I would avoid all the parents getting there later b/c of work and 3) so she was guaranteed a pillow pet which was the main reason for me to go early lol. When we got there, she was so excited to see her school again, she saw her old teachers and gave Mrs Becky a hug! That was surprising! We finally found her classroom and met her new teacher Mrs Kerri, who seems pretty awesome and I'm guessing she's younger than me lol. She had the classroom all set up with her chair and her cubbie with her name. It was SO SO CUTE! This classroom seems more educational than the last one which was geared towards toddlers. I met a new parent which I guess had not been in the class before and her little girl Lola. Her mom told me that she was shy to which I responded "So is this one, maybe they'll get along" S then screams out "I'm not shy!" This again surpised me...I dont know if this is a one time thing but I'll have to see what develops from her sudden "unshyness". After all that was done we picked up our pillow pet, pink unicorn, and headed home. She hasn't let go of it since. She has another pillow pet, one she picked out and my mom bought for her and never once did she love it that much! I on the other hand find it the perfect shape to fit btwn my legs while I sleep so my hips wont collapse under the baby pressure. Alas its 630 am, I'm still awake and I have no signs of going to sleep any time soon.

Tomorrow is kinda a big day, we get to take some maternity/family pics with Erika, who also did S' swim lessons...she's basically awesome and I can't wait too see the pictures.

Good day! will try to get some sleep now
