Heat
It is hot - very hot. I knew that it would be hot this summer - it is, after all, summertime in Houston. It will be hot until October/ November.
However, stating the obvious to a pregnant woman over and over is not going to get anyone anywhere. I am shocked by how many people find the need to tell me how miserable I am going to be this summer. Um, thank you Captain Obvious.
Also, don't tell me that I should have planned my pregnancy better to avoid the heat. I am thankful to be pregnant at all - I don't care that it is officially 45845 degrees outside.
So, when you come up and tell me "I've been waiting to see you miserable in the heat so I could tell you what bad timing you had when getting pregnant" don't be surprised when you are hit in the face and I say "I've been waiting for you to say something stupid so I finally had a reason to slap you". Yes this really happened - well not the slapping part but, if I hear something like that one more time I have a feeling I might be fired due my less than professional reaction.
Birth Plans
I am absolutely shocked by women's birth plans these days. Did you know that some women provide their doctors and nurses with 10 pages of
I can promise you that the last thing on my mind when in labor is going to be a freaking candle or some music.
What is my "birth plan" you may ask?
For the hospital to do what ever needs to be done to ensure I have a living baby to bring home. That's it.
Well, I may have a few other things.
Such as give me what ever drugs you can legally provide so that I am free of pain and in a happy place. Also, I might even tell the nurse that if Alex is
Seems easy enough to me.
Motivation
I pretty much have none of this at the present time. The nursery is at a standstill, I have not made a baby purchase in weeks (although this is intentional - I am waiting on shower gifts so we can see what we really need), and I am pretty much behind on everything that I wanted to have completed by now.
I'm hoping motivation returns so I can finish everything on time!
Showers
I am beyond excited about my showers! My first shower will be in Mandeville in about 1.5 weeks and I am giddy! It is like a kid waiting for Christmas. I have friends coming in from all over and I cannot wait to see them. I also cannot wait to see how beautiful the shower itself is - my friends and family have been working hard on planning it and I know it is going to be simply amazing!
My second shower is set for the middle of July here in Houston - and it is a girly tea party! I'm pretty sure it is going to be perfection as well! I can't wait to celebrate with my friends here and have a super girly party! My friends here are also doing an amazing job planning and I can't wait to see it all come together!
I'm sure Kate is going to be spoiled rotten by the time she gets here!
Ok- that's all for now - although I'm sure I'll have more random thoughts over the next 9 weeks - yep, only 9 more weeks until baby girl is here! EKKKK!!!!

A random post but a good one :) That is sooo exciting about your baby showers! Enjoy them! I hope you get all kinds of fun goodies for your baby girl :)
And yeah those women ARE crazy who demand all those things! Amen! Leave it up to the doctors to make sure you have a SAFE delivary!
People have been saying the same thing to me too. I told the last sucker to go away before I punched him in his man junk. He left. I would have done it, too.
I hope that you liked you invites lady! I love them, but I like most of the things that I make!
I am laughing at the birth plan thing. People are crazy if they think doctors give a crap what kind of music they prefer to have playing.
And people take having a healthy and live baby for granted if they think that stuff is really important.
