Hello sistas! Sorry I have been so out of touch lately. Things just got crazy lately with work and everything else. My husband and I sometimes pick the strangest time to take on certain projects. We just started on a pool about a week ago! So, Noah is due on Aug 21st. My husband graduates on August 14th - yeah! The pool should be finished mid-August. Could we cram anything else into the month of August???
Vicky - Hope you and Benjamin are doing splendid! Can't wait to see pics!
Angie - Wow! I didn't even realize you were that close. I mean, I knew your little one was due in July, but holy crap! It is right around the corner!! How exciting!!! I am still predicting boy, but for some reason I am starting to think girl all of a sudden. Hmmmm....not sure. Can't wait to find out! I am glad the wombat's room has finally made its transition. You must be getting excited. I am sure the last week is tough being so tired and swollen. I have to admit that I am starting to feel it all now. It is this damn back pain that is killing me....but then again, I have been dealing with this since March. Oh well! You can count on me to send you some sista vibes for you to go into labor ASAP! My due date prediction is July 3rd.
Meg - Enjoy your vacation!!! How fun! Oh - and I have three little nephews and they love dog food. My brother thinks it is funny, but truly I think it bothers my sister-in-law a tad. They will get down on their knees and eat out of the dog's bowl!!
Nickster - Your poor doggy! I think I have mentioned before that I have three big dogs and they are truly my babies right now. Each one of them has had an issue of some kind lately and man - does it add up!! They are all in the 8-9 year old range, so unfortunately they are getting up there in their little doggy years. I hope your pooch is doing better! What the heck can you feed him if he is allergic to all dog food?? How is work going?
Robbo - Any official news from the doctor? I just hate to see this not work out for you. It just isn't fair!! I just wish the best for you. Are you sure you won't try again?
Jenn - How are you? Roasting in the hot weather? I know I am!!!
Sassy - We need a triplet update!
Fee - where are you? You are entirely too quiet! How is Rio???
Ok sistas, I posted a pic from the shower this weekend. I look huge - I am blaming it on the dress personally! It was quite the party! My best friend hosted it at her house and we had close to 50 people there. There was a margarita machine, pina coladas, beer, wine, and lots of food. Noah did quite well for himself! We had friends from my childhood, college friends, grad school friends, neighbors, work friends - everyone came. I was so touched. My college roommate drove down with her husband and 8 week old baby and they spent the weekend with us, along with my husband's best friends from Denver. We had a full house! Noah even got - are you ready for this - china from Tiffany & Co!!!!!

Is that not funny??? My Executive Asst from my old job bought him that! My little kiddo is going to be one stylin' dude!!! So, with the gift cards we got, I went and bought everything else we need. I think we are ready! Our childbirth class is this Saturday. I can't believe how time flies!!
Take care and talk with you all soon!!!
