Another Day Closer to D-Day!

So, I just noticed that it has been over a month since I last wrote something. I am terribly sorry to those who actually read this! I know I have one follower,(Thanks to you Kathy Carter), and hopefully more will join in. I think an update on the baby progress is in order. Went last week for my 33 week check-up and had a higher than they like reading on my Bp. Because of this, I had to go back yesterday for a 34 week check-up, and luckily my Bp was down! But since I am already 34 weeks and I have had trouble with my Bp, they want to keep an extra eye on it. So now I am starting to go to the Dr. every week. Ugh Fun! I knew it was coming, but I guess I thought I had a couple more weeks. I mean it does kind of suck to drive all the way there for like a 20-30 min visit and then drive back home every week. I feel bad for people who actually have to do that for medical reasons. It gets tiring, but on the brightside, it means we are closer to our baby girl being here!! Dr. McMichens told me yesterday that I only had 22 more days til she isn't considered premature so that was good news.
Now, I am in the final processes of trying, really trying to get her room in order! I am sure I can hear everyone who reads this saying, "isn't that what she says on every blog?" But I am seriously trying! I mean its hard when you have to stay off your feet most of the day and the only time you have help is when your sister or friend has a babysitter or when your husband is home and he has things he needs and wants to do too. So I feel awful asking him to help me. I know he probably doesn't mind b/c she is his baby too but I just feel guilty asking for help. I just wish I could do it all myself then I wouldn't have to rely on somebody else. i actually did ask my cousin Nikki to help me hang her letters, shelves, and wall hangings. Her room will actually look like a room for a baby once i get those up.
Oh I forgot that we had our second shower sat. from Daniel's side and it went great. Daniel's mom's friends did a great job. Baby Cayton got lots of cute stuff. Just hope i have room for it all! I wish Daniel had came. It would be nice for him to join in on it but I think its a guy thing to think Baby showers are a girls day. I mean, its his baby too, haha. Its just hard at showers b/c all the focus is on you and I HATE that. Every ones eyes on you at all times. I start freaking out! I mean when I got married, I about freaked before every bridal shower! I know, sounds weird! I guess I am.
All in all, it won't be long before I am no longer a an oven for this little girl, but her actually Mommy!! How weird is that? Me a Mom? In 6 weeks or less she shall be here! I am nervous and excited at the same time. Summer is on its way, baby will be here soon, and ball season is around the corner! So much is happening in the next few weeks and I am looking forward to it. i love the fact of being able to sit outside at night and just be. I love going to my Mama's house on Sundays and grilling out with my family, getting together on the weekends with great friends and rushing to get to the ball field during the week. ( which I wont get to play til Fall ball this year, but I do get to watch the boys this summer!) I am extremely blessed in so many ways that i can't even begin to describe. I have also lost some pretty close friends over time and realized that maybe that's the way it supposed to be. I won't dread on it b/c I have so much positive in my life and even more to come!! If you are reading this and you are my friend, I just want to say " THANK YOU" for being my friend and I love you!! Hope you all have a blesses and beautiful day! TTYL!!
