Surprise!!

Let's start out whats going on with Baby T this week...he's the size of a honeydew this month.

From the bump...."Baby’s senses are continuing to improve -- when light peeks in through your (extremely) stretched belly, those tiny eyelids and irises blink and dilate. And, baby can now recognize and react to simple songs… time to start practicing your lullabies! Growth (at least inside your womb) is starting to slow, and you may notice baby descend into your pelvis at the end of this month."

From planning family, "Your baby continues to grow and develop inside of you. Measuring 17 inches long, she weighs 5lbs. And from this week, until 2 weeks before birth, she will gain about a half pound of weight every week.
The bones in her skull are formed, but aren't fused. They actually don't fuse entirely until early adulthood, allowing room for her brain to grow through childhood. Because they aren't fused, the bones in her skull will be able to overlap, helping her to fit through the birth canal during delivery."

Lets start with the pictures I said I would show you last post. Here is what the nursery looks like with the nightstand, slip cover and the toy box.




So for me this week so far I've determined I'm ready for a desk job or better yet a job at home in my pj's for the next few weeks. I'm just plain beat by the end of the day and by Thursday and Friday I just want to be put out of my misery. I've also decided I should make a button that says these few things on it "I"m due June 5th and I have X weeks to go. Also please do not comment on how big I look or the baby looks. Have any advice? Well keep it to yourself or I might just loose my cool!!"

The biggest thing that happened this week was my baby shower that my family and friends threw for me. It was a HUGE surprise!! Mike and I went out to run errands yesterday and I came home to a house full! It was very exciting! It was funny I would have never even guessed even after all the cleaning and yard work Mike did this week. Now I know why. So I walked up to the front door, with Mike behind me and saw all the food sitting on the table. I was an idiot and took our curtains down and washed them early in the morning because our plan was to fix the bay window up because Jake believes he is a cat and jumps up there and has scratched the hell outta it. So we went to Lowes to buy carpet to tape down. I'm kinda glad I took the curtains down cuz it gave me a minute to prepare myself. I was still very overwhelmed!

I had a lot of fun and am thankful to have such great people in my life. The party started out with everyone eating and then playing games. Lindsay (one of my best friends) organized all the games and we did baby scramble which was hard. Then she came up with one match the celebs to their childs names. I gave up on that one since I only knew Suri. haha And the last game was so creative. She had a basket covered in burp clothes, and filled the basket with 10 items and put another burp cloth over the basket and you had to feel all the items in about 20 seconds and write them down by memory. It was a lot of fun.

After that I opened up presents and we got so much! We have enough clothes I think to dress twin boys. haha I should have took pics of the pile of wash I have to do. But I got a lot of stuff off of my registry which is really appreciated. After that we had cake. Like I said it was so much fun and great to see most of my family and friends.
