Gifts at the Shower--It was Nuts!


We had my 1st shower last weekend for all of my friends! There were 8 FABULOUS hostesses that truly went overboard on everything! Kenzi, Amy, Stacy, Jennifer, Tami, Katie, Kristen, and Sayler! I am so lucky to have such amazing friends that took the time to make this shower the best ever! We had it at Deb-Deb's, Kenzi's grandmothers' house, which is beautiful, and the people just kept coming! It was a packed house, and I was so excited to see my friends and Rusty's friends also from out of town that made the trip in just to come, it meant so much to me! I have never been to a shower where anyone got as many 1) Clothes, and 2) Embroidered/Monogrammed things! This girl will definitely never have problems remembering her name because Campbell is on EVERYTHING!!! We got the cutest things ever and I was just overwhelmed at seeing what all everyone brought for Campbell! This girl is truly loved already and she isn't even here! It was so nice to have high school friends, college friends, work friends, and even some of the moms that I have grown up with show up!

After getting everything unloaded at the house I laid it all out so that Rusty could come home and see it all! It was just amazing! He was in shock and didn't have a clue where I would put everything! We are definitely going to need a bigger house soon! Thank you to everyone who came out and for all the thoughtful gifts, it was all too much! I love you all!

Rusty's Baby Bjorn

Well I thought it only fitting since Rusty has been saying that he is going to take Campbell everywhere in one of those baby carrier things as he called it, to get him the Baby Bjorn for Valentine's Day! He loved it! He posted on FB that he will be headed to Home Depot and Jos A Banks with that on. So last night he wanted to try it out and make sure that he knows how to work it for when Campbell gets here. After finally figuring it out, he put a baby doll in to try it out and to try to teach Bella that the she was the baby. Bella didn't really understand needless to say, but the Baby Bjorn did look great on him! He is so excited to use it!

31 Week Belly Shot

31 Weeks and high blood pressure! Starting having high blood pressure about 2 weeks ago when I had the flu or the end of the flu I should say, then last week I went in for the lingering cough and it was high, and took it last night and sure enough high! Called the OB on call nurse and she said if it went over 90 to go in to the OB triage, I hovered around 84-86 all night so didn't go in and called my OB this morning to see what we should do about it, so waiting to hear back from her. I am really hoping it will go down and everything will be ok!

On another note, excited about my 1st baby shower this Saturday coming up! Can't wait to see all of my friends and get a chance to catch up with all of them! Kind of scared to bring home anything else as Rusty is going to flip out on how much stuff it takes to have a baby, but he will just have to get over it, and I know he will be thankful to have everything once she gets here!

30 Weeks

Well it seems like 10 more weeks is a long time to go! I am seriously over having Heartburn every single day pretty much off and on all day long. It is absolutely awful! Doesn't matter what I eat or don't eat, I am still getting it. On top of that, the pain and stretching in my right back side is just awful too! I knew that it was not going to be easy but seems like I have gotten every symptom in the book so far, while you hear others who had the best and easiest pregnancies ever, well I don't want to hear about it! The next one better be like that because this is absolutely miserable!

On another note, Amy and I are going to a Baby Basics class tomorrow to learn about changing diapers, bathing the baby, umbilical cord after, etc. Fun stuff since we have no clue on any of that!

Other than that, we are just playing the waiting game. Going to the OB every 2 weeks now, and waiting on my showers to get here so I can figure out what else I need to get. Me being the planner it just kills me not having everything I need yet, but I know it will all come together with time to spare.

Finally, last night Rusty felt her kick at least 6 times or so, along with just watching her move in my belly which is the weirdest thing ever. Kind of looks like an alien is inside your stomach moving around, very strange but awesome at the same time. She is definitely active which is good, and Rusty just loved finally being able to witness it more than once.

And then came the FLU!

Well it all started when Rusty got diagnosed with the flu last Friday at the Dr. I had the flu shot and he did not this year. But that didn't stop me from catching his flu! Sure enough Sat I went to the Dr and was told I had it too! It was absolutely terrible and I would never wish that on anyone, thankfully I think we caught mine early enough and my OB on-call called me in Tamiflu since the CareNow people did not give that to me. It took a good 4 days but I am finally feeling much better and so glad to have that past us.

On another note, had my 29 week appt today and had the glucose test done so we will hope for good results on that one! And then now I start going to my OB every 2 weeks, meaning we are getting closer!
