Ahh..Sunday

The weekends always go by way too fast. So many errands to do and in between just relaxing around the home. Next thing you know....it's almost time for another work day. Another crazy week about to begin. It's good and bad because that means pretty soon my baby will be born. I'm very excited about that. I got some more cloths for him over the weekend. Why are baby cloths so adorable? I can't wait to put him in them. Makes me even more anxious to hold him.

Every one's advice to me is..don't buy too many cloths, wait until the baby shower...and also they grow out of new born clothing very fast. Even knowing all of that, I keep wanting to make sure he has enough! Tomorrow is my best friend's son's birthday celebration. So I'm running over there right after work and have even more errands to do in the evenings later on in the week. This is why I love having low key weekends. My weeks are always so crazy on top of working. Yesterday, I was at the hospital for about 4 hours! They had to draw blood because they think I might have gestational diabetes. They literally took my blood every hour. And you can't eat or drink for 8 hours before then. I asked everyone around, "Doesn't that starve the baby not eating for so long?!" And everyone just laughed at me. At the hospital it was exhausting. I was soooo tired while waiting there, that they gave me a warm blanket and I slept in between the blood draws in the waiting room. But the new the hospital looks amazing! I can't wait to take a tour of the maternity ward. I need to schedule that very soon.

My baby shower is not until a month before I'm due in October. I can't wait to see what kind of baby things I will get. I told of all my friends though, not too many games. I remember going to all these baby showers and having to play all of these games, it was so boring for me! I do not want to do that to others. I'm having a guy's and girl's shower because some of my male friends actually want to come too! I'm very lucky to have the support. So instead of just a normal shower, I want it to be more like a party and fun for everyone. I even asked that there be drinks to serve even though I can't have any :( I want people to leave my shower saying, they had a great time! Realistic or not?? We'll see. Haha

I hope to become a really cool and modern mom. I don't want to be one of those mom's who get sucked in the baby world and never seem to come out of it. Not to say there is anything wrong with that. But whenever I would hang out with a mommy friend in the past, all she could talk about were baby things. Then again, they were mainly stay at home mom's, which they are lucky to be able to do. However, for myself, I want to be a great mom while still very in touch with the world around me. I want to be able to relate to my single friends in some ways too. I know I will be different but hopefully not too much. Am I kidding myself? Again, I'll have to see. Already though I see that I'm pretty wrapped up in preparing for the baby, but I still make time to chat with my friends, have dinner with them, watch the news, and catch up on celebrity gossip. I wonder how much of that will have to go once baby arrives...
