Last week was a big nesting week for me. Since the baby shower was coming up, I spent the week cleaning the house. I can tell you that the house had not been on my priority list till last week and boy was it in bad shape. I did a room a night and by the end of the week I was completely worn out. My sister flew in Thursday evening to spend the weekend with us. She was a huge help with the last few rooms to clean. Having my 13 year old sister around was so nice. She was so willing to help and did a great job. She was a bit more protective over me this visit. Usually she wants to stay at my Mom's a night or two to ride but this trip, she wouldn't leave my side. She has matured so much over the last couple of years!! I cannot believe that she is going to be 14 next month! Craziness!!
The baby shower went great on Saturday. We had it here at the house on the back patio since the weather was nice. Colton is blessed with many great family and friends who are excited to meet him. He got so many clothes and I got hooter hiders!! (haha) And we got many things that were necessities such as the diaper genie, diapers, diaper bags, bottles, nipples, bottle accessories, bath tub, pack n play, blankets, towels, homemade burp clothes, and so many other things. And oh my goodness, my hostesses got us the car seat we were wanting!! And we had many donations to our Cord Blood registry. I can tell you that Colton is one spoiled kid already! My hostesses are the best friends a girl can have. Wanda made the yummy cake, Denise created a game & took pictures, Allyson made a diaper cake, Jeri made the punch & took pictures, Michelle, Mindi, Bobbi, and Brandy all brought decorations and help setup. And Tandy created and mailed the adorable invitations, brought tables, and headed the entire thing up!! I really don't know what I'd do without Tandy. She is such a good person! And of course her momma, Patty Deweber made me a corsage to wear that was made from a pair of newborn shoes. Patty is the most creative person I know. I wish I had her talent! Thank you ladies for all your help! All in all it was a perfect day!
I was worn out after the shower though and can assure you I slept GREAT that night! Then on Sunday Teal had to fly out. It's always sad to see her go. We cannot wait for her visit this summer and have Aunt Teal help us with Colton! On Sunday, I noticed that Colton seems to be laying lower. I was feeling pressure lower that I have felt before and at times it's a bit uncomfortable. And that evening he had the hiccups and they were lower in belly than up high as before. So I'm pretty sure Colton has turned and is no longer breach. Since then I've had a lot of pressure coming and going in the lower (and I mean lower) stomach area and in my back. I have to say the pressure is something. Its like he is dropping and pushing his head down hard. Lets just say there is a whole new meaning to when I gotta pee....I gotta pee! lol And OMG my back has been out of control all day today and tonight. It hurts so bad. No matter how I turn, sit, or lay, I cannot get any relief. It's more of the middle part of the back than the lower back. It's almost like Colton is getting ready to make his presence. If this is how the last weeks are going to feel, man alive he can come even earlier than when we plan to induce him!! I guess on Friday at the dr's appointment we will find out if he has indeed turned and dropped as it feels he has. I have a feeling these last weeks are going to take forever!!!
