Baby Shower, etc.

Who doesn't love a diaper cake?

Favors my mom put together:

Proof that baby Wyatt is spoiled already:

The adorable cake & cupcakes Michelle's mom made:

I would post more photos, but I look like a complete chubster. All in all the shower was a great time. It was so nice to have (almost) all of my friends in one spot together. My mom came up with some entertaining games, and we received more generous gifts than I was prepared to sort out and find space for!

In other pregnancy news, I discovered a couple nights ago the very faint beginnings of some stretch marks on my belly. I won't lie, I felt like crying a little. I was hoping to escape without any, but I guess putting on 25+ pounds is bound to do that to a lady.

Time seems to be going by a bit quicker now. As of tomorrow I am only 8 weeks from my due date, which is absolutely crazy. I am pretty anxious to meet the little man. I am also hoping I can keep working as close to my due date as possible, but I have noticed a marked increase in lower back pain by the end of my shifts lately. Hopefully it doesn't become too bothersome.

Bringing home all the gifts from the shower really got me started with the "nesting" process, if you will. I've been busy trying to organize everything for Wyatt, wash the new clothes and blankets so they are ready to be used for whenever he comes, figure out what we still need to buy before he's here, and make sure things are in order like finding a pediatrician. Busy busy!

How far along: 31 weeks, 6 days

Cravings: still have a low appetite lately, though I can't help myself from going back to cut a slice off from the cake from the shower
