A little Saturday morning blogging....

This morning we woke up to some madness, but more of that to come.  Let's catch up! 

Last night, Stu and I met my mom, dad and brother, Holt at Oceanaire to celebrate Holt's birthday.  His birthday was actually on the 12th, but being away at school, we weren't able to celebrate then.  Since he's home for the weekend, we took advantage.

This reminds me, I haven't blogged about my amazing friends and Houston baby shower.  On April 3, Laura and Susan threw me a "Little Man" themed baby shower.  It was so cute, the food was awesome, the guests had a great time.  One of my favorite parts of the shower was when my friend Angie brought her daughter over to say goodbye.  Angie explained to Peyton that baby Jack was in my belly.  The look on Peyton's face was adorable.  She looked at me like "umm....no, i've seen babies and THAT is not a baby."  But she kissed him just the same before they left.  SO CUTE!

The diaper cake - Susan's boyfriend Bradley even tied the tie.


The shower gifts - aren't they adorable?  Really tasty too.

In other news, Stu and I purchased a new car!  We had been discussing getting an SUV and trading in my two door Mercedes for a while.  We finally did it and I couldn't be happier!  It's so nice.  Here's a look at our new ride.


Back to our drama this morning. 

We noticed yesterday after work yesterday that our AC wasn't cooling down properly.  We typically set it up to 79-80 when we leave the house and then turn it cooler when we get home.  Very responsible - trying to be efficient and save money.  Might not have been a great idea.... Our AC is currenly showing this:


If you've ever been nine months pregnant, you will know feels more like 150 degrees.  At least.  So this is how I spent my night and how I am able to still be sitting in this house...

It's blowing on me full blast.

Finally...A Jack update.  At my last doctor's appointment, I had only dilated another 1/2 cm, and I am 70% effaced.  We decided to induce on Wednesday, April 27 if little man has not made an appearance by then.  So I've pre-registered at the hospital, paid all the hospital bills and now....we wait.  I'm quite uncomfortable so Wednesday can't come quick enough.  My lack of ankles are also starting to hurt due to the amount of swelling.  And my poor husband is doing everything he can to keep me as comfortable as possible.  We can not wait for Jack's arrival!
