35 Weeks

5 more weeks until Kade arrives (at the most)!

I can't wait to meet him.  He is starting to take up lots of room in there and he's making me swell. Yes, I'm blaming him.  My toes and ankles are getting a little thick.  I can see it all over my body.   I have been doing better with choc and soda, but I do still partake in sweets.

You know that feeling you get when you feel very loved?  It's an almost overwhelming feeling and you don't know what you did to deserve so many wonderful people in your life?  Well that's me...right now.  I have always known my friends were amazing!  They are sweet, kind, and very giving (not to mention FUN).  The past two weeks I have been reminded  that I have amazing people in my life who love Kade already and it has to be one of the best feelings.  I feel like I can't do enough to repay the hostesses at each of my showers.  They worked hard to throw two an amazing showers!!!!  I hope they know what their friendship and love means to me.   To all my friends and family who drove many miles to join us and shower Kade with gifts...THANK YOU!  I hope you all made it back home safely! And to all of the others who came, you are the best friends a girl could ask for.  I never expected so many gifts!!! You are all so giving and I love you.  To all my work friends, THANK YOU for being there for me for so many life changes and now celebrations.

Kade had an amazing shower last Saturday. Many people came out and some drove many miles to get here.  Everyone brought books and wrote the sweetest messages inside to Kade.  I loved reading what they wrote.  Everything was beautiful.

So many giving ladies in my life!!!

On Thursday, my dear school friends threw a shower for Kade also.  He got so many cute clothes and  other fun things.  My amazing team hosted and everything was perfect.

All his new stuff!

Our last shower is next Saturday.  It's a couples shower at Oscar's parents house.  I'm excited that Oscar will be at this one!! He'll get to see a lot of his family and help open the gifts. His mom has been spending lots of time preparing and getting her house ready.  It will be fun.

The invitation

I am still stretch mark free and I hope it stays that way.  I am also so glad that I might get to enjoy the summer sun.  I love the summer time and although our trips to the lake this summer might be more limited, I'm excited.   Oscar is excited about the lake and riding the jet skis and I am excited about hanging out in the sun, getting a tan, and introducing Kade to the lake!  I am sure he will love it as much as his daddy. He already has his first jellies, that will be his lake shoes.

This Friday we have our labor and delivery tour.  I'm hoping it will answer some questions and put my mind at ease. There's another class that I'm hoping to take, but I won't find out until tomorrow  we''ll be able to get in before he comes.

So many life changes are happening this year, but hopefully this time next year we'll be building a house!!  Right now, I am content and so happy and the life I have made for myself.  I have great friends, family, and husband.  Thank you for contributing to my life!!! I just can't wait to see what life will bring us next.
