Confessions....and more pictures

So I'm battling an addiction.....it started out innocent enough, like most addictions do. You take a hit here and there, telling yourself it's just a "social habit". Before you know it, you're doing it by yourself and in doses that cause bells of alarm to go off in your subconscious. But like any real addiction, the first step is to admit you have a problem. Ok. Here I go:

I CANNOT STOP BUYING ADORABLE BABY GIRL CLOTHES

I tell myself it's OK because they are on sale....she'll grow into them...etc. But seriously, it's out of hand. I've been to all the baby boutiques in the city and got the sweetest things for her....mostly for the fall and winter next year, as that's what's on sale. I know, I know....so many of my friends told me to stop....that I'll get lots of gifts and she may not even be able to use them. But please tell me....WHAT about these is a waste of anything:



Right?? How could I resist.  I really don't care what I should or should not be doing....I loved every minute of stocking up for her. And hello!.....Macy's ships to Canada now....da...as if I don't have a shipment on it's way :)

On the work front, the day I turn 37 weeks is my last day at work. I am looking forward to this time of my life, but I also love what I do and work with amazing people, so I may miss it....who knows. I sent the following picture to my team, as they are getting on a plane on Monday and heading to Toronto for a National meeting. I've been excused from the meeting, due to my advanced pregnancy. The most exciting part of the meeting I will miss is finding out if my team won the incentive trip this year...Costa Rica! If we won, they will be there riiiiiiiiight around the time of my delivery. So we would have the option to go on the trip next year. Here is what they got as a "toast" to hopefully winning, and it's also my 7 month picture:

 And I can't believe I'm about to say this....but the NURSERY IS FINALLY READY!! All I'm missing is onsies and stuff like that...which I'll get later.




So for now, just trucking along. Feeling pretty good, with the exception of a bit more fatigue and sore feet. No sleep disturbances or heart burn so far! fingers crossed for the next few weeks! Getting through my sport of a job the best way I can everyday.....I can't move as fast as I used to, and my job is as physical as is it intellectual, so I can tucker out pretty fast. Looking forward to my two showers.....as an IVFer, it will be something I've always watched other people have, so I can't wait to have me and my big belly at a party that celebrates our daughter.Our hypnobirthing class is done, and was a great experience. Still going to prenatal yoga and aquasize and really happy to feel part of something like that during this pregnancy.

I am seeing my OBGYN next week and will be talking about my planned C-section, so will update you on that. For those of you out of the loop, a C-section is not my preference, but is only a back up to going overdue. For me and my doc, at my age, that is just NOT an option.  

So....gotta go....I think Macy's is having a one day blow out :)

  1. Little girl clothes are definitely adorable. I still have only bought the one IUI miracle onesie, and Stella has a WEALTH of pink clothes. Everyone that stops by will bring your daughter something. Buy diapers and wipes and burp clothes!! :)
