As promised, here are pictures of my baby shower! Click on the album, which will take you to all the pictures.

My Baby Shower

Thanks to Mum for taking the pictures!

Life is still going well... the count down continues at 4 weeks left today! Vaughn and I are both in good spirits - we are excited about the pending birth and ready (emotionally and in regards to preparation) should Bubs come early (but hopefully at least not for another week, as Bubs will be full term next week). However, I'm not all that uncomfortable, so I'm not just wanting to "get this baby out" as I know many women are like at this stage. So, I'm thankful and feel blessed to be in this position.

Each day, it sinks in more and more that Vaughn and I could be parents any day now! We both can't wait to meet him/her - Vaughn especially is so excited; he can't wait to be a daddy! I know that once Bubs is born, I am going to love actually holding and cuddling our child, but I think part of me is definitely going to miss feeling Bubs move inside. I've loved that feeling, so I think it will be weird for a little while and something I'll miss! But obviously a whole new world is about to open up and I'm sure that won't last too long!

A Boring Pregnancy

Now I wouldn't describe any pregnancy as boring, let alone mine, but when my midwife calls it that, I don't mind at all! I'm now 34 weeks pregnant and just had my midwife appointment (she does housecalls, so that's great!) and as she was doing all her usual checks, she said that my pregnancy was boring, but that's what she likes and hoped it would continue to be boring, and so do I!

I had my baby shower last weekend and had so much fun! Ange did a great job organising it and I loved celebrating with friends and family (well, only one family member, but I'm grateful Mum could come and be there). Vaughn and I were overwhelmed by the gifts we received and have enjoyed going through them all. I'm in the process of washing everything and knuckling down and getting the nursery ready. I'm also in the throws of packing my and Bubs' bags for our impending trip to the hospital.

I'm waiting for my mum to forward me pictures of the baby shower, but in the mean time, here are some photos of all the gifts we have received to date, since announcing our pregnancy:



And this is a gift that my boss' wife put together just for me (as opposed to a gift for the baby), to pamper and take to the hospital with me. Donna is very creative (she's a part time florist) and the pack was just gorgeous... presented much nicer than what's in this photo:


Once I get pictures of the baby shower, I'll post those to my blog, as well as an updated picture of my belly, so as always, stay tuned!

I, Vaughn - decided to post this link, because:
