So now I know how women feel when they are near the end of their pregnancy and just uncomfortable. I mean I was just fine on Sunday and then when Monday came around.......the uncomfortable feeling set in and has not let up! I will take a few moments to vent as I know that Justin and friends are tired of hearing it. They just don't understand:) I am just so, so, so ready to get Cade into the world now. I swear, I think he must take after his daddy in size.....well, when Justin was a baby. I think he was a little over 12lbs when he was born!! You would never know it now because he is a fit, average guy, but can you imagine??? All that I want to do now is lay in my bed with a warm towel on my stomach. I can't sleep and I just feel like I need a good cry......not because I am sad but because I can't breathe!!

I know it will be over soon enough and I have definitely enjoyed it...Who wouldn't? It is the only time that it is possible to help God out in creating a miracle......I am just anxious to be a mommy.

Drumroll..............

So Cade's birthday is scheduled for June 16th. My doctor agreed with the cesarean. He thinks that I would be alright with a normal, easy delivery but with this being our first baby, he said that it could easily be an extremely long labor and he did not want that much stress put on my heart. June 16th is only 5 days before his due date so hopefully he will hold out until then. We are ready and waiting!!

I had a surprise doctors appointment yesterday. I swear, Cade is going to be an attention getter. He wants to make sure that no one has forgotten about him during the two week break in between doctor's appointments. I think that I have only made it through the entire two weeks a handful of times w/o interim appointments. Yesterday I kept getting really dizzy and hot flashes so I got the medic here at work to take my bp and it was 148/90. I called the nurseline just to see if it was alright that it was a little high and they wanted me to come in just to get checked out. After being in the waiting room for two hours, my bp was back down to normal. The doc said that everything looked fine. Somehow we got on the subject of delivery and the doc suggested that I consider a c-section. She thinks that it is a valid thought as I have had open heart surgery twice in the past and she thinks that it may put more strain on my heart than necessary!!!!!!!!!So now what??? She said it is up to me which path I choose, but she would take a closer look at the c-section option. Since this was not my normal doctor, she wants me to talk to him about it to see what he thinks. I guess we will find out soon enough!! Either way, the countdown nears the end.........44 days!!!

Well another good doctor's appointment. I tried to convince the doctor that the baby was bigger than 32 weeks.........but no luck. He was measuring exactly 32 weeks yesterday so we are a day ahead of schedule woohoo!! His heartbeat was at 152 bmp. Other than that, it was a pretty uneventful appointment. I will go back in two weeks and then start my weekly appointments. That's when I will know it is getting close.

Here are a few pics of the shower. We received a ton of amazing gifts and the girls did a great job at throwing the party. I can't thank everyone enough!

I had our first baby shower yesterday. It was so great. My sister, mom and a few friends threw it at my sister's house and I couldn't have asked for more! My sister always goes above and beyond when she does entertaining and she definitely did this time as well. I had a really good turn out and appreciate everyone that got to come and help us celebrate. We love you! Cade got a ton of nice things and he will be decked out in firefighter gear for a while and his daddy was really excited to see that. Justin also loved the Bama t's that Cade got (funny that he thinks he is going to wear them:)........well maybe every now and then I will let Justin get his way but not without his Auburn bib to go along with it. I just can't give in!!

Thanks again to everyone! I couldn't ask for better friends and family!
