It's Official

{Seriously, does anyone ever remember how small these are?}


Because my sweet friends Molly and Linda are throwing me a baby shower I went to Babies R Us to register for some goods. That's always fun- like virtual shopping. Since we're having another girl it's not like a need much, but it's always nice to have some help!
It's funny how 'shopping' for necessary and frivilous items alike made it all seem so real. Forget about the 2 ultrasounds I've had, hearing her heartbeat several times, the flutters and jabs I feel daily, a trip to the hospital, and of course my ever expanding body- Now I'm shopping! (Or at least pretending to...) Now it feels official, now I am really having this baby.
Incidentally, our birth plan is to try and deliver on Wednesday September 24th. We'll follow the same scenario as with Bella's birth, except at 36 weeks this time instead of 37. I guess this doctor wants to be even more careful, which is just fine by me. So that means that we'll be scheduled at the hospital for an early morning amniocentesis, and as long as that comes back ok, we'll wheel me right in for surgery, and assuming all goes well we'll be welcoming little Fiona just a few minutes later. I can't believe that's in 8 1/2 weeks. It might as well be tomorrow for how quickly that time will pass...excitement, trepidation, fear, unbelieving...

I remember feeling that it was more real when I started buying things, too. Shopping for little ones is SO much fun-sometimes I still look at baby clothes just because they are so darn cute!

I can't believe that you only have 8 weeks! I'm so excited for you! Oh, and yay for your friends throwing you a baby shower! Can't wait to see pictures.

I've never gotten to pretend shop like that before, but think it would be so much fun. I'm so glad Linda and Molly are giving you a shower. I think every baby deserves to be celebrated and showered in gifts, so even though you've got lots of great things already it will be nice to have new things too. Woohoo. I can't believe it's only 8.5 weeks!!

I also forgot how little diapers can be! AS I was doing a post about my daughters birthday the other day, I saw all of her baby pictures and I got so baby hungry!

I love baby showers...I'm gald you're having one! I can't wait to see pictures!

Enjoy your last 8.5 weeks!!!

This post made me laugh -- somehow it didn't feel real after the ultrasounds and body expansion and constant kicks? Funny, but true: when Eva was born I was amazed that I actually had a baby at the end of it all. You'd think that knowledge would have kicked in, but somehow it was all very cerebral before she was born. Then reality kicked my butt!
