A Better End and a Good Start

The end of last week ended up being a lot better than the beginning of the week and this week has been busy but good so far...

-A coworker of mine, decided Thursday that I needed my "going away gift" early. It was complete with a wine glass, my favorite wine (post baby beverage), sparkling cider (for now!), biscotti, chocolates, a fall decoration, and a picture frame for my desk. Thank you Joanne for being so darn thoughtful!

-Cody and I spent Friday together.  We took the dog the park, went out to lunch and went shopping for a rocking chair. Later that evening, we picked Jordan, Marissa and Bee up from the airport and got to catch up with them a little.  They enjoyed a much needed family vacation to Hawaii and of course Brooklyn just keeps getting more adorable each time I see her!

-Cody went hunting on Saturday.  He came home with a deer which was really hard for me to get excited about.  In fact, I was in tears.  I worked with human cadavers in college as part of my human anatomy curriculum but I couldn't handle seeing his deer in the back of the truck...

-We celebrated Kramer's birthday on Sunday! After the BBQ, I crashed.  I crawled into bed to take a little nap...Roxy and Maxi joined me. My quick nap gave me enough energy to decorate the house for fall!

-This week has been another busy baby-filled week so far full of baby class and our 36 week Dr.'s appointment.  Our midwife was out today so we saw an OBGYN. She did a quick ultrasound to confirm Hanley is head down and in an ideal birthing position. I also had to have the routine group B strep test.  As I sat there in my gown, waiting for the Dr., Cody said, "I feel really uncomfortable right now!" Haha...he better get used to it because in just a matter of weeks, things are going to get even more personal come D Day!

-I made a list of baby gear we still need and ordered a few things from Amazon including cradle sheets and pads, Bob car seat adapter and my diaper bag.  I plan on making a quick run to Babies R Us to pick up a few more things this weekend then we should be pretty much set.

Overall, things are going well. I am getting to the point where I am just ready to meet this little man!
