On Saturday, I'll be 36 weeks. Even though 37 weeks is technically considered "full term," at this point, Benjamin can come at any time.
I had a baby shower at work today and it was totally and completely awesome. Jeff came and that was super fun because this is the only baby shower that he'll be able to attend. We were blessed to recieve a lot of really big, expensive items such as our stroller, our monitors, a boppy, and a cute personalized onsie that says "Made by Heather and Jeff in Athens, Georgia" or something like that. It's very cute. My boss Jan was so sweet to plan and execute all of this.
I have another shower on Sunday from some of the ladies from my church, and I think that it will be fun and intimate. I'm really looking forward to it.
I started putting all of Benjamin's stuff away today when I got home from the shower and Scout was completely overwhelmed with new things to sniff and explore. She may be jealous of Benjamin's growing stash of belongings. But, she'll be a good big doggie sister. I just know it.
Jeff feels poopy because he has a cold as well as a bad case of hay fever. So I am trying to take care of him so his pouty bottom lip will go back in :-) Right now, he's my baby to take care of. I'm happy to lo0k after him because he's been doing such a good job of looking after me.
The house hunting saga has been a long and arduous trial. We put an offer in on a home that was almost immediately taken off the market by the owner. We've not put a second offer in on a different home and hope to hear something positive early next week. We had no idea that finding a home to buy would be so labor intensive. Please keep us in your prayers.
Well, I think that's it for now. I'll try not to be so lax in updating my little spot on the web. But once Benjamin Lang Newberry makes his appearance, there are no guarantees.
