Zeiders Baby Shower

I had a shower today at the farm.  It was a fun day spent with cousins Shannon and Catherine, Aunt Harriett, Vivian(step-mom), my niece Brittany, Sister Sarah and nephew Thomas, Gram and Miles and Morgan.  I got alot of neat and useful items.  We enjoyed talking, eating (which I'm sure I gained 10 lbs) and playing games.  One of the games we played was to measure my belly against a string everyone had cut previous.  Morgan and Shannon were both dead on.  And here is the pic of Morgan measuring her string.

I am 36 weeks today. Went for my checkup this afternoon and had the lovely Strep B test done. Things are moving along and I am finally down to my weekly checkups. I have 3 weeks left before our Munchkin arrives on Oct. 6. Really getting anxious about this final arrival to our family. Yes, I am going to have my tube tied at the same time. 3 c-sections is more than enough for me, even though the first was not planned. I have the crib and pack n play all set up and ready to go. I have most of her clothes and blankets washed. I took a quick pic of the playpen and the crib before I drapped them with sheets. Our cat Cole likes to get up into things to hide from Itchie and the kids, and I did not want him in either. Hope you enjoy.

Chaplin Baby Shower

Well, we took our final trip to Beaufort before the baby comes this weekend. My sister-in-law Brittany threw me a shower for the family there. It was a nice day and we enjoyed the company very much. I had forgotten my camera, but I did take a picture of the diaper cake she made me with my camera. I got alot of cute outfits for the baby (which I'll upload after I wash them). I also got some much needed items. My Mother-in-law Elizabeth gave us the pack n play, and Aunt Charolette gave us a diaper Genie. I also got some diapers and wipes, and a really great wicker basket from JP and Tiana, which i am probably going to use as her laundry basket. Thank you all very much.

35 weeks

Ok, 35 weeks and counting. Miles measures my belly with his hands everyday and tells me how big Molly is....which is pretty interesting and sometimes depressing when he tells me how big I am. But I know that he is preparing himself to be a brother again. Morgan just asks when I come back from my dr. appts if I had Molly yet. Hilarious, because she never asks if I have her with me when she asks me that. I had my last checkup Sept.2, and the dr said everything looked perfect with my measurements....so that is good. We also have a date for the C-section. Oct.6 @7:30am. WOOHOO!!!! I will have to be at St. Francis women's Hospital at 5:30am. I one month to go and our little one will be here. I have my third 2 week checkup Sept. 16th and then I will have a checkup every week until Oct. 6th.
I am trying to get everything squared away at work and home for her arrival. I am trying to hold off on washing things yet, but I so want to get Molly's crib completed, and clothes put in her chest.
I have been spending part, if not all of my recent nights in the recliner. Seems that is the only way I really get an entire nights sleep. But if I do go to sleep in the bed, durning my early morning bathroom breaks, I just crash in the recliner to help me go back to sleep faster. Listening to the music from Labrynth helps too.
I hope everyone has a good Labor Day....we are having a quiet one....going to visit with Gram and Pop for a little bit, but nothing real big planned.

Oh....Happy Birthday cousin Colten Thomas Burns. He was born today to my cousin Ashley Beckham Burns and Corey Burns.
