The Last Month

With my computer being absent from my life, I was unable to post any blogs and document my exciting, thrill-seeking, adventuresome, new twist at every corner life. Okay, so my life is not nearly that dramatic, but I guess there are a few things worth documenting in the good ole blog.

1. Shower Mania!
I had three baby showers, all very different.
- shower number one - thrown by my fabulous aunt Mary and Colleen on the Stireman side of the family. This was a familiy shower and was extremely cute and fun. My aunts made the cutest invitations, food and games. Everyone was so generous and we had a lot of fun. They sent me home with advice to read during the hardest part of labor, which I anticipate will make me laugh at a time I'll need it! They are such a creative bunch and I am so thankful for all they did for me on Feb. 7th!

- Second baby shower was with work ladies. It was more of a go to lunch at Salt Lake Pizza and Pasta and have fun/chat get together. It was nice! They gave me some cute things and some generous gift cards which, of course, are already spent on all things Schumpert!

-Lastly, I had a shower mainly consisting of friends (my mom, Mary and cousin Kristin were there also.) My awesome girlfriends Julie, Jessi and Holli (and a little help from some others,) put the shower together. It was at Jessi's house (thanks Jessi!) and it was perfect! It was so nice to bring all the girls together and just laugh, play some funny games and catch up with people! Julie took a picture of me in my pregnant state and surprised me with a POSTER sized picture of me hanging up on redwood road with balloons attached to it. It was pretty damn funny. Thanks ladies, for bringing together all those fabulous females in my life - I am so lucky to have such amazing girlfriends!

I will need to post some photos of the showers as soon as I get them from those who took pictures.

What to Expect!
Over the last month, we have taken classes from someone we know who is a doula and a good family friend - she normally teaches classes at the U of U to soon to be parents, but was nice enough to come meet with my mom, Dave and me several times at our house! Thanks Penny! She gave us some awesome advice, coaching, and info that will help so much! We also took a class at the hospital - SL Regional, where I will be delivering. That was also pretty helpful, though I did feel like we already knew a lot of the stuff because Penny schooled us so well :)

Preggy-McGee!
I am over 37 weeks pregnant right now and definitely feeling it! Restless nights, achy bones, waddling, moaning and groaning, peeing every 30 seconds, etc etc. Yep, I am pretty sure I am ready and willing for him to come ANY TIME NOW! I am sure he won't be here for another three weeks or so, but one can hope that he may want to make a slightly early entrance.
I am working until March 20th (I know, what have I gotten myself into?) It will be hard these next couple of weeks, but at the same time, working makes time go by quite quickly.

30????
So I am turning 30 pretty soon here. Normally I think it would give me more to think about - 30 years- blah blah blah. However, right now I am just focusing on staying sane in my big as a house state of being. It would be nice if Schumpert gave me an birthday present by coming a week early - on my birthday! Plus, we would always be exactly 30 years apart and his birthday could never be forgotten (or mine, hello! haha) So anyway, all I want for my big 3-0 is a healthy little baby. If he doesn't come on my birthday, well, then I will settle for something chocolatey :)

Okay, that was totally like a page out of a boring journal - if you made it this far, my apologies for going on and on but I don't keep a journal anymore so sometimes you have to suffer through the mundane parts of my life. Cheers!
