33 Weeks!

I'm a few days behind on this post.  The picture is at exactly 33 weeks, but we've had so much going on this weekend that the blog post got put on the back burner.  Thursday was 33 weeks.  I took the picture as soon as I got home from work, then had a little time to pack and relax with Sophie before I took her to stay with Matthew's parents for the weekend.  I dropped Sophie off at Grandma and Grandpa's and then headed in to the hospital for a class on breastfeeding.  It was really informative and I am really glad I went.  Matthew got a free pass on this class.  Ha!  After the class was finished I had to meet Matthew at the car dealership to drop his car off for service.  We finally made it home around 10:00 that night.  It was definitely a LONG day, and I was exhausted! 

Friday morning we had several things to do around town before we hit the road for our 2nd baby shower!  (More on that later)  Matthew had an appointment at his eye doctor for new glasses, and then we had a "meet and greet" appointment with a pediatrician in town.  Everything at the optometrist went well and Matthew is getting new glasses, thank goodness!  We then met with a pediatrician.  Both of us really liked him and decided there was no reason to visit any others.  Yea!  It was much easier than I expected!  After finishing up at the ped we hit the road for Southern Indiana.  My sister and aunt were throwing a baby shower/90th birthday party for my grandpa on Saturday.  Matthew and I love to go visit the family, but the 6 hr drive to get there limits the number of times we get to go.  The shower/bday party was a huge success and everything was incredible!  They definitely went all out, but I'll blog more about that later.  Today we unfortunately had to make the long trip home.  The weekends seem to be going faster and faster, especially when they're filled with things to do. 

Once we got home we unpacked the car, which was filled to the ceiling with baby gear.  It's amazing we were able to get our suitcases in to come home!  As soon as we pulled in the driveway, we started unloading the car and putting all the baby things in his room.  Matthew's parents brought Sophie home and she instantly thought everything was for her.  She can be quite nosey :o)  I was cutting tags off of things that needed to be washed, trying to find places to put everything, and organizing the best I could.  I currently have a hamper and laundry basket full of clothes and blankets that need to be washed, and that is only the beginning of the baby laundry.  LOL!  Once everything was in its designated spot for the evening, I decided to tackle the bed skirt my mom made for the crib.  It looks awesome!  She did such a great job on it.  There are a couple of other things she's making for the baby's room as well and I can't wait to see them.  The whole room will really be tied together with those things and the letters that I'm painting to spell his name for the wall.

Well needless to say I'm officially exhausted.  It's been quite the weekend!  I will blog more about the shower another day and post some pictures, but for now I'll just leave the weekly belly shot and head off to bed!

33 Weeks, only 7 more to go!
