My wonderful husband bought me plane tickets out to California for my birthday so now I am happily sitting in sunny LA on my Baby-cation. Kind of like a vacation but you can't leave the kids with Grandma this time. I am super excited to see all of my friends because the last time I saw half of them was over a year ago and I wasn't even married yet! Now I am mere months away from becoming a mommy and I am super pumped that they can be a part of it.
We are 7 weeks away from our due date (yikes) and that means we could be meeting our little man very soon!! Especially if he is an early bird like his mommy… or he could take after his daddy and be late for almost everything. Maybe he will get the best of both worlds and be right on time, wishful thinking maybe?
We finally got a crib and a dresser and a rocking chair and I am stressing a lot less these days! It is so nice to feel prepared, even if we really have no idea what we are in for. I have even made some fun little pictures for the wall in our little boys room, and I am going to start working on a crib mobile for the little guy to look at while he drifts peacefully off to sleep. Of course, in true Maria fashion, most of my ideas came from Pinterest.
On to the pregnancy -
One of the results of being so close to my due date is the heartburn, yay, Tums have been my best friend lately. Jake, being the lovable hubby that he is, started laughing at me when I told him we were out of Tums - we weren't really out, I had just picked through and eaten all the flavors I liked. The only ones left were lime and cherry. Gross. So I resorted to eating some almonds and an apple (which also helps ease heartburn) until I can go to the store and pick up some acceptable flavors.
On the upside - my cousins threw a baby shower for me this past weekend and it was so so fun! We played some really funny games and I was overwhelmingly blessed by the advice and gifts I received for my little man. I am so lucky to have so many people who love Little E already, he is one spoiled kid!
